Mr. Oliver. No. I take it that the references are to sources that I had at my disposal at the time I wrote this article.
Mr. Jenner. Yes, sir.
Mr. Oliver. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. It may be that you have repeated the statement subsequently, and if you have any subsequent sources I wish to have them since the Commission continues to function until it renders its report. That is, you may have discovered something in the meantime that is of a more primary source than you have indicated, which would, of course, be important to the Commission. If you have discovered such a source since then would you please mention it.
Mr. Oliver. I believe some confirmation of this statement will come out later in the testimony.
Mr. Jenner. I see. At some subsequent point of your article?
Mr. Oliver. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. You go on to say, “In April of 1963 he was sent to Dallas where he tried to murder General Walker.”
What is the source of your statement that he was sent to Dallas and by whom?
Mr. Oliver. That statement is based upon the consideration that it is extremely improbable that a Communist agent would do anything of importance except under orders from his superiors. The extremely rigid discipline to which Communists are subjected in the neophyte stage is, I think, very lucidly set forth by Frank Meyer in his “Molding of Communists,” I believe.
