Mr. DEAN. This is the page where I started to make some traffic
assignments and they changed it, so, I--now, these are the traffic
assignments just prior to the movement of Oswald. At Commerce and
Pearl I assigned Officer Erwin, initials I don't know. At Commerce
and Central, Officer Burton. At Central and Main, Officer Wages. At
Central and Elm, Officer Gregory. At Pearl and Elm, Officer Tolbert.
At Harwood and Elm, Officer Fox. At St. Paul and Elm, Officer Wise.
At Elm and Ervay, shows here Brock. Brock. At Stone and Elm, Officer
Raz. Akard and Elm, Officer Hibbs. At Field and Elm, Officer Anderson,
and at Lamar and Elm, Officer Ferris. Now, these were just tentative
assignments. I think in one of my reports that is already in evidence
is the permanent assignments, but these are the originals that I made
that afternoon which were tentative.
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
rather your----
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 of the----
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.
Transcriber's Notes:
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant
preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Misspellings in quoted evidence not changed; misspellings that could be
due to mispronunciations were not changed.
Some simple typographical errors were corrected.
Inconsistent hyphenation of compound words retained.
Ambiguous end-of-line hyphens retained.
Occasional uses of "Mr." for "Mrs." and of "Mrs." for "Mr." corrected.
Dubious repeated words, (e.g., "the nature of the inquiry tonight is to

Several unbalanced quotation marks not remedied.
Occasional periods that should be question marks not changed.
Occasional periods that should be commas, and commas that should be
periods, were changed only when they clearly had been misprinted (at
the end of a paragraph or following a speaker's name in small-caps at
the beginning of a line). Some commas and semi-colons were printed so
faintly that they appear to be periods or colons: some were found and
corrected, but some almost certainly remain.
Occasional missing periods at the ends of sentences have been remedied.
