Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Meyers. Now, somewhere in this conversation he swung from his competitors to these poor people. Now, this could have been early in the conversation that I had with him that night or later in the conversation, in the same conversation, that is, and when he went from speaking directly about his competitors to these poor people, I still assumed he was speaking about his competitors. My belief since, of course, is that he was no longer speaking about his competitors. He was speaking about the Kennedy family.
Mr. Griffin. Was this conversation a conversation in which Jack would pause frequently and you would say something or was it something which——
Mr. Meyers. It was pretty much his conversation to me and me saying Jack, calm down, unwind, you know, get it off your mind, or something of this type.
Mr. Griffin. Try to think about your side of the conversation and tell us what things you were saying to him?
Mr. Meyers. Well, actually, Mr. Griffin, I said very little to him other than to—I used the words, pacify him. He was obviously very upset, and again I thought he was upset because of his competition and he was upset obviously because of the assassination. My conversation to him—my words to him were nothing specific more than typical pacifying comment every now and then when he would let loose another tirade.
Mr. Griffin. Is there any possibility in your mind that this conversation could have taken place after midnight?
Mr. Meyers. No. I would be extremely surprised if that took place after midnight. I couldn’t have lost that much time. It would have to have taken place somewhere around—10 that night. It might have even been closer to 11 but it couldn’t possibly have been midnight because I was not yet asleep.
As a matter of fact, I was in bed reading, either reading or watching television, I don’t know.
Mr. Griffin. You mentioned Jack’s concern about the Weinsteins being what he apparently called money hungry Jews. In your experiences with Jack, would you say that Jack was any less interested in making money than the Weinsteins?
