(Testimony of Russell Lee Moore ( ) Knight)

Mr. Griffin.
quaintanceship with Jack Ruby. My questions will be directed along that line.
If you have any information at all that would bear on the assassination of President Kennedy, why, we would like to have that also.
Now, the Commission has promulgated a series of rules and regulations, and under the rules and regulations of the Commission, I am designated to take your testimony.
There is also a provision in the rules that a witness is entitled to have a 3-day written notice before he appears for testimony. I think the first thing I will ask you, you did get a letter from us 3 days before you showed up here?
Mr. Moore.
Well, it was Tuesday.
Mr. Griffin.
Then I will ask you if you are willing to waive the written notice of the deposition.
Mr. Moore.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you have any questions about the general nature of the testimony that will be taken here this afternoon before I get started?
Mr. Moore.
No. I have some things that I can add after your questions.
Mr. Griffin.
Very good. Let me ask you then if you will raise your right hand and I will administer the oath to you. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Moore.
I do.
Mr. Griffin.
