Mr. Saunders. That is correct. I will.
Mr. Hubert. Will you stand, then, so that I may administer the oath.
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. Saunders. I will.
Mr. Hubert. Now, first of all, I have previously handed to you so that you could read it, a document consisting of three pages, and which I have marked for identification as follows: On the first page in the right-hand margin I have marked “Dallas, Texas, June 26, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, Deposition of Richard L. Saunders”, below which I have signed my name. The document as I said, consists of three pages and I have marked on the second and third pages my initials in the lower right-hand corner. This purports to be an interview of you by FBI Agents Peden and Garris on December 4, 1963.
I have asked you to read it and to state to me now whether or not this is a correct report of that interview. I notice that there are some little question marks that you have here and perhaps it is best to take them one by one.
Mr. Saunders. In general substance, that is a correct statement. There are some minor clarification points which I would like to bring out.
Mr. Hubert. I notice that there is a question mark, apparently, next to the last sentence of the second paragraph on page 1, which sentence reads as follows: “He estimated that it took him a total of 10 minutes to arrive at his office after the President’s car passed him and said that this would make his arrival time at approximately 12:40 p.m.” Do you have any comment to make about that, sir?
Mr. Saunders. The travel time of 10 minutes is correct. The arrival time of 12:40 would be dependent upon the time of the assassination, which I am not aware of at this moment. In other words, if the President was shot at 12:30, I would have arrived at approximately 12:40.
Mr. Hubert. Where were you when the President himself passed you?
