Mr. Ruby. Yes.
Mr. Herndon. Now, if there’s something in here in this area that troubles you, we can rephrase the question.
Mr. Ruby. Will you specify the time—the time element is very important.
Mr. Herndon. The only time element is before—before you did it. Now, “before” is a very broad coverage?
Mr. Ruby. That’s it. That’s a difficult question to answer.
Mr. Herndon. That’s the way the question is worded. Let me ask it again and see if you want to discuss it. “Did you tell anyone that you were thinking of shooting Oswald before you did it?”
Mr. Ruby [no response].
Mr. Herndon. If you want me to reword that question, I’ll take it up with Mr. Specter.
Mr. Ruby. Why don’t you say this—“that Sunday morning, specifically?” That would be easier for me to answer.
Mr. Herndon. In other words, “Did you tell anyone you were thinking of shooting Oswald on Sunday morning?”
