I believe Mr. Rankin sent you a letter last week?

Mrs. RAY. Yes; and I read it and have your name, too.

Mr. LIEBELER. He sent with that letter copies of the Executive order

and the joint resolution as well as copies of the rules and procedure

governing the taking of testimony of witnesses. Did you receive that

letter and copies of such documents?

Mrs. RAY. Yes.

Mr. LIEBELER. Mr. Ray previously mentioned that the letter was routed

to the wrong post office box and you did not get it until Sunday.

Mrs. RAY. Monday.

Mr. LIEBELER. Under the rules of the Commission each witness is

entitled to 3 days' notice before he has to testify and I suppose

technically since you did not get the letter until Monday you do not

have to testify today or you can waive that notice, and I presume you

are willing to go ahead with the questioning at this time; is that

correct?

Mrs. RAY. Yes.

Mr. LIEBELER. We want to inquire of you today, Mrs. Ray, concerning the

events at a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Declan P. Ford which was

held in Dallas in December 1962, as the events at that party related

to or involved Lee Harvey Oswald. We also want to question you about

meetings and/or parties that you went to at other places in Dallas

during the period shortly after December 28, 1962. Before we get into

that, would you state your full name for the record?

Mrs. RAY. Me?

Mr. LIEBELER. Yes; what is your full name?

Mrs. RAY. Natalie.
