Mr. Jenner. I am correct about that, am I not?
Mr. Oliver. You are correct about that. The nature of the event that would create this shock was, of course, necessarily speculative.

Mr. Oliver. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Who felt that the Communist conspiracy as you call it had reached a point at which it needed some shocking event.
Mr. Oliver. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. Or as you say at the bottom of page 21 and the top of page 22, “The conspiracy’s schedule called for a major incident to create a national shock before Thanksgiving.”
Mr. Oliver. Yes.
