Mr. Jenner. You made a deduction from that fact of publication?
Mr. Oliver. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. Proceed to page 21. The lower right-hand corner of page 21 commences a paragraph the first few words of which or the first sentence of which reads “Careful observers were aware of the feeling of crisis in conspiratorial circles before the assassination.”
On what was that statement based, or to be more accurate what was the source from which you made that deduction, if it is one.
Mr. Oliver. My conversations with fairly numerous observers of the conspiracy and its operations in this country.
Mr. Jenner. Are you using “conspiracy” in a general sense rather than a particular conspiracy directed toward this event?
Mr. Oliver. The Communist conspiracy as a whole; yes.
Mr. Jenner. You then go on to state what appears to be a statement of fact or you represent it to be.
“In June of 1963 an experienced American military man made a careful analysis of the situation at that time, and in his highly confidential report concluded, on the basis of indications in Communist and crypto Communist sources, that the conspiracy’s schedule called for a major incident to create national shock before Thanksgiving.”
Who is that experienced American military man to whom you had reference?
