Mr. Specter. Now, let’s prepare the question this way, if we may, Mr. Herndon: “Aside from anything you said to George Senator, did you ever tell anyone you intended to shoot Oswald?”
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Specter. Now, is that formulation acceptable for purposes of the test, Mr. Herndon?
Mr. Herndon. I want to make sure I get it correct.
Mr. Specter. “Aside from anything you said to George Senator, did you ever tell anyone else you intended to shoot Oswald?”
Mr. Ruby. In the flippant way I said it, I doubt if he’d even—you know—the poor guy may not even have remembered it. We never discussed it after that.
Mr. Specter. What was the exact time you recollect you said that to him?
Mr. Ruby. I don’t know—it was about 10:15 Sunday morning.
Mr. Specter. Approximately?
Mr. Ruby. Well, you know—10 minutes either way.
