Mr. Hubert. Now, did you have occasion to be near the Main Street entrance of the Dallas Police Department on the morning of Sunday, November 24, 1963?

Mr. Tasker. I was.

Mr. Hubert. Would you tell us, please, how you came to be there?

Mr. Tasker. Well, I picked up a news reporter. I’ve forgot which one of the papers he was with. I don’t know whether it was United or—I believe it was United, but I’m not for sure now, which press he was with.

Mr. Hubert. It was a national press system, was it?

Mr. Tasker. Well, it was one of these reporters with the United Press, I believe. I believe that was it or either the Associated Press?

Mr. Hubert. You don’t know his name?

Mr. Tasker. No; and he hired me to stay with him and I drove around the block there and parked.

Mr. Hubert. What time did he hire you?

Mr. Tasker. Well, now, that—I’ve forgotten, sir. It was up around between 9 and 10 o’clock in the morning, I believe now. Now, I might be wrong—now—I won’t say.
