I state to you that the general nature of the Commission’s inquiry is to ascertain, evaluate, and report upon the facts relative to the assassination of President Kennedy and the subsequent violent death of Lee Harvey Oswald. In particular as to you, Mr. Bellocchio, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine what facts you know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent facts you may know about the general inquiry, and about Jack Ruby and his movements and his operations and associates and so forth. I think you have appeared here today by virtue of a letter written to you by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, general counsel of the staff of the President’s Commission asking you to come here; is that correct?
Mr. Bellocchio. That’s correct.
Mr. Hubert. When did you receive that letter?
Mr. Bellocchio. Approximately 6 days ago, I believe, 5 or 6 days ago.
Mr. Hubert. Would you stand and take the oath, please, and raise your right hand. 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?
Mr. Bellocchio. I do.
Mr. Hubert. Your name is Frank Bellocchio; is that correct?
Mr. Bellocchio. That is correct.
Mr. Hubert. Where do you live, sir?
Mr. Bellocchio. 9832 San Lea Drive, Dallas.
