Mr. JENNER. What was used to make the tape? Did you have a tape and you
made a copy of the tape?
Mr. STUCKEY. No; they took my original tape and from that they made the
disc.
Mr. JENNER. I see. We are a little confused here. You have an audio
tape of the 37-minute interview, do you?
Mr. STUCKEY. Yes; I do.
Mr. JENNER. And you also have a wax disk?
Mr. STUCKEY. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. It is the wax disk which is the disk recording from the
original tape?
Mr. STUCKEY. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. And it is the wax disk that was made by the commercial
people you have named?
Mr. STUCKEY. True.
Mr. JENNER. What I am getting at, Mr. Stuckey, was an audio tape
transcript made of your interview with him on the 17th of August 1963?
Mr. STUCKEY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Who made the original tape?
Mr. STUCKEY. The original tape was made by WDSU radio in the studios of
WDSU, and the engineer doing the taping was Mr. Al Campin.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know what happened to that original tape?
Mr. STUCKEY. Yes; I have it; it is in my possession.
Mr. JENNER. Did you bring it with you today?
Mr. STUCKEY. No; this is a copy which you have in your hand.
Mr. JENNER. Did you bring a copy of that tape, which is Stuckey Exhibit
No. 4?
Mr. STUCKEY. That is correct?
Mr. JENNER. From what source did you obtain the original tape?
Mr. STUCKEY. From WDSU. When the management of WDSU decided not to run
that tape but instead to have the debate, the second show, then they
gave me the tape.
Mr. JENNER. What is now marked as Stuckey Exhibit No. 4 is a
reproduction on tape of the original tape?
Mr. STUCKEY. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Who made the reproduction which is Stuckey Exhibit No. 4?
Mr. STUCKEY. Cosimo's Recording Studio.
Mr. JENNER. Where are they located? Do you happen offhand to recall the
address?
Mr. STUCKEY. It is on Governor Nichol's Street in the 500 block.
Mr. JENNER. Would you tell us the full name of that company?
Mr. STUCKEY. Yes; Cosimo's Recording Studio, I believe it is.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have more than one tape reproduction made of that?
Mr. STUCKEY. Yes; I have had--how many do I have? I have two copies and
the record in addition to the original tape, so there are four pieces
of, four items involved.
Mr. JENNER. You will recall, Mr. Stuckey, that you were good enough
when I was in New Orleans to take me over to the radio station, what is
the name of it again?
Mr. STUCKEY. WDSU.
Mr. JENNER. WDSU, and there was played in my presence and in my hearing
a tape transcript of your 37-minute interview with Oswald on the 17th
of August 1963. Is the tape which I have in my hand, marked Stuckey
Exhibit No. 4, the tape that was played that evening in my presence?
Mr. STUCKEY. It is.
Mr. JENNER. And it is in the same condition now as it was at the time I
heard it?
Mr. STUCKEY. Exactly.
Mr. JENNER. It is in the same condition now as it was when it was
prepared by Cosimo's?
Mr. STUCKEY. Correct.
Mr. JENNER. Subject to my understanding with you that you will receive
a communication from Mr. Rankin respecting the preservation of this
tape against commercial use, I offer Stuckey Exhibit No. 4 in evidence.
I am going to return the tape to you so that there will be no question
in your mind but what, in the meantime, until you do receive Mr.
Rankin's letter, that the tape has been in your possession, and no one
has made, surreptitiously or otherwise by accident or any fashion, a
copy of it.
Mr. STUCKEY. Very good.
Mr. JENNER. I think I will state for the record, Mr. Reporter, that in
an off-the-record discussion with Mr. Stuckey respecting the audio tape
of the interview of August 17, 1963, Stuckey Exhibit No. 4, Mr. Stuckey
has agreed that he will supply or return, let us say, Exhibit No. 4 to
us upon his receipt of a communication from Mr. Rankin, as counsel for
the Commission, that the tape when redelivered to us and becomes part
of the record of the Commission, will not be subjected to use for any
commercial purpose and reproduction.
Mr. STUCKEY. I would like to ask for one qualification.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
