The proceeding reconvened at 2:10 p.m.
Mr. GRIFFIN. I will repeat what we say at the beginning of each
session. We are taking this deposition under the same conditions that
we started out with, and you are under the same oath that you have been
under at the outset.
Just before we took a break for lunch we had been through a number of
notebooks which had many, many names in them. Let me ask you about some
other names.
Did you know or hear Jack mention a Lawrence Meyers?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This man would have been from Chicago and he would have
been engaged in a sales capacity in sporting goods.
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, wait a minute. You mentioned sporting goods. That’s
right. I met someone up there. As a matter of fact, Jack got a pair of
pushups from him.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Barbells?
Mr. SENATOR. If it is Lawrence Meyers. I think that is the name. I am
not sure. Barbells, yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now you met some man or you heard of some man?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Who you think might be Lawrence Meyers?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; I know who you mean. When you mentioned sporting
goods, then it——
Mr. GRIFFIN. How do you happen to know of this man?
Mr. SENATOR. I met him at the Carousel one night when he was in town.
Mr. GRIFFIN. How long before Oswald was shot would that have been?
Mr. SENATOR. I don’t know. I think it was in the summer. I think it was
this past summer. I think it was in the summer of 1963.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Would it have been in the month of November of 1963?
Mr. SENATOR. No; I think it was much longer, much before that. Well,
it couldn’t have been that. The reason I say that is because I wasn’t
living with Jack then.
Mr. GRIFFIN. In November of 1963 you were.
Mr. SENATOR. I was living next door to Jack. I wasn’t living with him.
When you mentioned—was it November?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
