Mr. JENNER. And his part in it, if any.
Mr. WEISSMAN. He said that he had helped organize this demonstration
and it went off beautifully, there is going to be national publicity,
the newspapers were all over the place, he had given statements to the
news media, to the television. He said he was on TV and radio, and had
given out statements, and that he was--it seemed that he was going to
be heading for, not trouble, but a good deal of difficulty because it
seems that he was the only one that came out as one of the organizers
of the demonstration, who openly came out and said so.
Mr. JENNER. And identified himself with the demonstration?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes, sir. He said he had--what did he say--something to
the effect that he had a bunch of his people down there, the University
of Dallas students.
Mr. JENNER. Did he identify them as students?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I don't recall. I met the students several weeks later
when I got to Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. The students he had employed?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That had participated in the demonstration; yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did he describe what the demonstration was insofar as his
part and his group's part in it was?
(At this point, Mr. Dulles reentered the hearing room.)
Mr. WEISSMAN. Well, just to the effect they had picketed and carried
signs and made some noises inside the auditorium. Not he and his
group, but that the picketers had raised quite a hullabaloo inside the
auditorium.
Mr. JENNER. Were they his picketers?
