Mr. Olsen. Yes.
Mr. Specter. And when did you receive that letter?
Mr. Olsen. Five or six days ago.
Mr. Specter. Did you notice that there was a provision in the rules and regulations that you could have counsel with you if you so desired at the present time?
Mr. Olsen. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. Do you wish to have counsel with you?
Mr. Olsen. I don’t think it’s necessary.
Mr. Specter. Fine. The Commission has asked you to appear, Mr. Olsen, in order to testify about any knowledge which you have concerning Mr. Jack Ruby and the shooting of Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of President Kennedy. With that preliminary statement of purpose, I would like you to stand up and raise your right hand, if you would.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you shall give in this deposition proceeding before the President’s Commission shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Olsen. Yes.
