We have asked you to come here today because I understand you have some information that might pertain to Jack Ruby.

Now, under the rules and regulations of the Commission, I have been designated to take your testimony, and I might tell you that the rules do provide that before you are asked to testify, you shall receive 3 days’ notice in writing in advance before you come here.

I will ask you right now if you received a letter from us and when you did receive it.

Mrs. Helmick. I received it yesterday.

Mr. Griffin. Then we haven’t complied. Well, let me ask you if you are willing to go ahead and give us your testimony without having had the 3 days’ written notice?

Mrs. Helmick. Yes.

Mr. Griffin. Thank you. Do you have any questions that you want to ask me before I ask you questions?

Mrs. Helmick. No.

Mr. Griffin. Would you raise your right hand and I will administer the oath to you.

Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give, will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
