Mr. Hall. Seven years. The reason I hesitate, I am also vice president of the company, but that is not really the main function here in Dallas.
Mr. Hubert. As manager of the company, do you have occasion to actually drive the vehicles that are used by the company? Did you often do so prior to November 24? Had you done so frequently?
Mr. Hall. Not frequently; as manager of the company, it is our obligation to make sure all our vehicles are in running order. We test drive them, periodically, because we go out on trips with the men. The capacity of driving a vehicle is part of knowing what is going on.
Mr. Hubert. Prior to the time you became manager, were you connected with the company as a driver?
Mr. Hall. No; as a salesman.
Mr. Hubert. I think you were interviewed by the FBI on June 24, 1964, the FBI agents interviewing you being Mr. W. James Wood and Manning Clements. I have, heretofore, a few minutes ago, handed to you a report by those two FBI agents of their interview with you. For the purpose of identification, I have marked the document, which consists of four pages, on the first page as follows, to wit: “Dallas, Texas, July 13, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, deposition of Bert Hall.” Under which I have signed my name, and I have placed my initials on the succeeding three pages in the lower right-hand corner of each page. I think you have had an opportunity, have you not, sir, to read this 4-page document now marked as Exhibit No. 1?
Mr. Hall. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. I ask you if this document is correct, or whether you desire to make any corrections or modifications or additions to this document?
Mr. Hall. There are minor adjustments to it; sir.
Mr. Hubert. Now you have called my attention to the fourth paragraph on page 1 of that document, which describes Ed Dietrich as assistant crew chief. What comment have you to make as to that statement?
