Now, this is just a note that I had written down from a Bob Stewart. He worked for WRR, and he was giving me some information that he had received. I don't remember from where he had received it, but he stated to me, and I had written it down here, a Serge Fliger, he is with Mutual News in Vienna, Austria, and that in essence—now, I can interpret these notes for you, if you would rather.
Mr.Hubert. Why don't you just read them and then interpret them.
Mr.Dean. That source of Serge's information from behind the Iron Curtain that a man told him, and he—it was a man that he stated that he trusted completely, that there was a group of dissident Russian soldiers, that this whole thing was an international plot, and that the Communists would kill off Oswald as quick as possible.
Mr.Hubert. Now, with reference to those last few notes about Fliger, what you have read is not exactly what is in the book itself, but it is ratheryour——
Mr.Dean. More of an interpretation of my notes, because I had written it rather hurriedly.
Mr.Hubert. But, let the record show that as I read the notes the interpretation of them seems consistent with what I read.
Mr.Dean. I believe that is all that is in here, Mr. Hubert. I believe that's all.
Mr.Hubert. Now, may I ask this; were all those notes that you have just shown to me and read into the record with interpolations written in your own hand?
Mr.Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr.Hubert. Were they written at the time that you made the various assignments and so forth?
Mr.Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr.Hubert. And that includes also that information about that Serge Fliger from Austria?
Mr.Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr.Hubert. All right.
Mr.Dean. And also, Mr. Griffin wanted me to find, if I could obtain a copy of the—regarding a tape recording. It was an interview with radio station KLIF, and this interview took place about 2:30 on November 24.
Mr.Hubert. 2:30 p.m.?
Mr.Dean. That afternoon. Yes, sir; I do have a copy of that and I have listened to it and it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, sir.
Mr.Hubert. Are you proposing to give me the tape itself, or a transcription of it?
Mr.Dean. Well, that is a transcript, I assume. I just asked KLIF would they make me a copy of it and this is, a transcript.
Mr.Hubert. Do you propose to let me have the film, or this little record, or seems to be tape on a regular roll. Do you want it back?
Mr.Dean. Could I have it back when the Commission gets through with it?
Mr.Hubert. Yes, sir; but I don't know when that will be, you know.
Mr.Dean. Well, whenever it might be.
Mr.Hubert. I am trying to see how we are going to mark this.
Mr.MacMasters. Could it be placed in a sealed envelope and initialed across it and seal it and so forth?
Mr.Hubert. I have placed my initials, LDH, on one end of the tape, and I have done that also, on the other end of the tape and giving the exhibit number of—by marking it "EX, 5138," with ball point pen on both ends of the tape, and then I'm also marking the small box, "5138" on one side, and "5138" on the other side, with my initials on both sides.
Mr.Dean. Do you want me to initial it?
Mr.Hubert. Oh, I don't know that that is necessary if you have heard that recording.
Mr.Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr.Hubert. And it is a true recording of an interview of you, as I understand it, that you had with some reporter ofthe——
Mr.Dean. At KLIF.
Mr.Hubert. Do you remember his name?
Mr.Dean. Glenn Duncan. It is on the tape also.
Mr.Hubert. All right, sir. You think it is a correct recording of a conversation?
Mr.Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr.Hubert. All right, anything else?
Mr.Dean. No, sir; I, well, when these film, if they do come in, this fellow does send them to me, I will make them available to you.
Mr.Hubert. You can do so through Mr. Barefoot Sanders. Contact us immediately.
Mr.Dean. All right, sir.
Mr.Hubert. I will accept this and place these various exhibits you have given me today in with the other exhibits in the folder that we are putting all these exhibits in.
Mr.Dean. All right.
Mr.Hubert. Any other matters?
Mr.Dean. No, sir.
Mr.Hubert. That is all. Thank you very much. Mr. MacMasters, thank you very much.
