Mr. Jenner. Upon what source did you rely in making the statement that the special detachment to which you refer began to rehearse for the funeral a week before the assassination?
Mr. Oliver. I relied primarily on the interview given by Captain Cloy to the Jackson, Miss., Clarion-Ledger.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have a copy of that?
Mr. Oliver. On the 21st of February, 1964.
Mr. Jenner. May I mark it? We will have an exhibit number on it.
I have marked as Oliver Exhibit No. 8 a photostatic reprint of an article headlined “A lot to remember, McComb Army officer big part in Kennedy funeral” by Kenneth Tolliver, and in the center is written, I assume, in—is that your handwriting, the black lettering?
Mr. Oliver. Mrs. Oliver’s, I believe, which picks up the words “Clarion-Ledger” from the next reproduction.
Mr. Jenner. For purposes of reproduction, it reads, “Jackson, Mississippi, Clarion-Ledger, February 21, 1964.” I take it, sir, that the clipping, I guess this is an actual clipping pasted on here, the upper portion, in any event is either the clipping or a reproduction of it upon which you relied?
(The document referred to was marked Oliver Exhibit No. 8 for identification.)
Mr. Oliver. This is a reproduction of the clipping.
