It is our normal procedure to explain a little bit about what we are doing here before we ask you to testify.
The Commission was set up pursuant to an Executive order of President Johnson and the joint resolution of Congress, and it has been directed to investigate, evaluate, and report back to President Johnson upon all the facts surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy and the death of Lee Harvey Oswald.
We have asked you to come here today particularly because you were acquainted with Jack Ruby, and we would like to find out what light you can shed upon Jack Ruby and his involvement in the events of November 22, 23, and 24.
Under the rules and regulations of the Commission, I have been designated to take your deposition today. Also, under these rules, the witness is entitled to have a written notice 3 days before he appears to testify. I might ask you if you have received such a notice.
Mr. Kleinman. Yes; I received that Sunday. I wasn’t there but it was signed for in my sister’s hand.
Mr. Griffin. When did you actually see it?
Mr. Kleinman. The notice here?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Kleinman. Sunday.
Mr. Griffin. Then you have had 3 days?
