Mr. Griffin. Would you be willing to say positively that it was the day of the President’s motorcade?
Mr. Hansen. No; I wouldn’t just make a flat statement, because I don’t feel like I can. I am not that positive. But like I say, an ordinary day, unless there is something going on, ordinarily there wouldn’t be anybody sitting on that little stone railing around there.
Mr. Griffin. In your mind, is there just as much chance that it could have been the day of the motorcade or is there just as much chance it could have been the day before the motorcade, as the day of the motorcade.
Mr. Hansen. No. The fact that there were some people sitting on the rail around there would indicate, it would make me lean toward the day of the parade. But I am not going to make a flat statement it was the day of the parade. But it would make me kind of think maybe it was that day. That is as good as I can give it to you.
Mr. Griffin. The reason I am asking you questions like that is so we can evaluate whether we should make a flat statement about it or how we should treat it.
Mr. Hansen. I don’t want to make a flat statement, because I can’t connect anything in my heart, but it would make me think it was, due to the fact the people were sitting on that thing.
Mr. Griffin. I appreciate that.
Mr. Hansen. I am trying to help you.
Mr. Griffin. I appreciate your frankness on it. Let me ask you if you are satisfied that this report otherwise is an accurate report of what was said.
Mr. Hansen. Let me show you. Everything but here. I think I remember telling him this, but I think that he—I am not trying to put it off on him, because he isn’t here, but I think the FBI man got this Silver Spur Club mixed up with the Burgundy Room, or else I meant the Burgundy and told him the Silver Spur, but this is where it happened. And I am sure if you check through it further, that you can find out that this actually occurred about this remark about this boy calling him a queer and Jack knocking him down.
