Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. When you saw him come out of this room and leave the
building?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Are you and Philip good friends?
Mr. BLALOCK. I wouldn't say real close friends, but we are friends.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you talk about this incident or talk about Oswald at
all after this time but prior to the assassination?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir; I don't believe we did. We talked about the Cuban
Student Organization.
Mr. LIEBELER. Were you aware of the fact that Oswald was subsequently
arrested here in New Orleans in connection with his activity on behalf
of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee?
Mr. BLALOCK. No; I didn't know about that until after the assassination.
Mr. LIEBELER. You didn't hear Oswald debate Carlos on the radio
program----
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Or you didn't see Oswald on television?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir. I might have. I just don't remember it.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did Philip say anything about having seen these things?
Mr. BLALOCK. Not to me he didn't.
Mr. LIEBELER. So you never had any real discussions, as far as you
remember, with Philip about Oswald until the time of the assassination?
Is that correct?
Mr. BLALOCK. That is correct.
Mr. LIEBELER. You must have talked to Philip about Oswald after the
assassination.
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you recall to each other and discuss with each other
the meeting that you had with Oswald in the store on Decatur Street at
that time?
Mr. BLALOCK. I think I was the one that recognized him. I called it to
Philip's attention, and the next day at school he said, "Yes, that is
the man we met at the store." I recognized Oswald late one night when
I was just about going to bed. I told my Daddy, "I went uptown and met
that man up there."
Mr. LIEBELER. This was shortly after the assassination?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes; during the time they didn't have any shows but the
funeral and----
Mr. LIEBELER. [Exhibiting photograph to witness.] Let me show you a
picture that has been marked as Exhibit 1 to the affidavit of Jesse
J. Garner taken at New Orleans, April 6, 1964, and I ask you if you
recognize the individual portrayed in that picture.
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir; I recognize him.
Mr. LIEBELER. And do you recognize him as the man you met in the store
that day?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir; Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. LIEBELER. Can you think of anything else now about your contact
with Oswald, or can you think of anything else that you know about him
that I haven't asked you about and you think the Commission should know
about?
Mr. BLALOCK. I can't think of anything else.
Mr. LIEBELER. I don't have any other questions. If you can't think
of anything else, we will terminate the deposition. On behalf of the
Commission, I want to thank you very much.
