Mr. Griffin. But we did not discuss anything pertaining to your testimony at that point?
Mr. Pappas. Nothing; no.
Mr. Griffin. I haven’t any further questions. I want to thank you very much for coming here. You have been very helpful to us. The tape recording and the photographs which you have provided in the past have been of considerable use to us.
Mr. Pappas. Thank you for having me here, and I hope I have been of some help in getting to the bottom of all of this.
TESTIMONY OF JOHN G. McCULLOUGH
The testimony of John G. McCullough was taken at 11 a.m., on July 29, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C., by Messrs. Burt W. Griffin, assistant counsel, and Stuart Pollak, staff member, of the President’s Commission.
Mr. Griffin. Let me introduce myself. My name is Burt Griffin. I am a member of the advisory staff to the general counsel of the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.
It is our normal practice before deposing a witness to explain a little bit about what the Commission is about. I think you will find most of what I have to say you are well aware of.
As you probably know, the Commission was established pursuant to an Executive order of President Johnson and a joint resolution of Congress. Under those two official acts, the Commission was directed to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy and the death of Lee Harvey Oswald, and to report back to President Johnson, to find out all the facts it is able to determine.
