Mr. JENNER. What impression did you get in that respect?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I had assumed his picketers were part of it.
(At this point, Representative Ford withdrew from the hearing room.)
Mr. JENNER. You were repeating to the best of your recollection that
telephone conversation.
Mr. WEISSMAN. The gist of the conversation; yes.
Mr. JENNER. As best you are able to recall.
Mr. WEISSMAN. That is right. I really cannot swear to its 100 percent
accuracy, but I would say it is 75 percent accurate anyway.
Mr. JENNER. Have you now exhausted your recollection as to all that was
said, in substance?
Mr. WEISSMAN. In substance; yes.
Mr. JENNER. In the course of that conversation.
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. I take it he urged you to come to Dallas?
Mr. WEISSMAN. He did.
Mr. JENNER. That this Stevenson incident had stimulated things to
the point that CUSA--you members of CUSA should come to Dallas, and
everything was ripe?
Mr. WEISSMAN. He said we can pick up the ball and start running.
Mr. JENNER. Now, you and Mr. Burley then went to Dallas, did you?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That is right. We left on the 2d of November.
Mr. JENNER. And that would have been following the receipt of the
letter of October 29, which we have identified as----
Mr. WEISSMAN. Commission Exhibit No. 1032.
Mr. JENNER. How did you get there?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I drove in my car.
Mr. JENNER. Did Mr. Burley accompany you?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did you stop off anywhere on the way?
Mr. WEISSMAN. We stopped at his mother's house in South Carolina for
about 4 or 5 hours.
Mr. JENNER. And when you reached Dallas, did you find a room, or what
did you do?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That night we stayed at Larrie's house. We got there
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr. JENNER. Where does he live?
Mr. WEISSMAN. At that time he was living at the Eden Roc Apartments, in
Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. Is he a married man?
Mr. WEISSMAN. He was.
Mr. JENNER. I take it he was separated from his wife at that time?
Mr. WEISSMAN. No, no. He has been divorced since.
Mr. JENNER. But he was living with his wife at that time?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. By the way, is Mr. Burley a married man, also?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I spoke with him just the other day. His divorce will be
final in about 6 weeks, he thinks.
Mr. JENNER. He was married at that time?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; separated.
Mr. JENNER. Where was his wife living?
Mr. WEISSMAN. In West Virginia, I believe.
Mr. JENNER. He had a family, did he not, several children?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Four or five children.
Mr. JENNER. You stayed with him at the Eden Roc Apartments?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. That is, with Mr. Schmidt?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And then you and Mr. Burley arranged a room somewhere, did
you?
Mr. WEISSMAN. We rented an apartment. I think we stayed with Larrie for
2 days, 2 or 3 days. Then we rented an apartment in Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. Where was that?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I don't recall the address offhand.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, approximately where are we now, as a matter
of time in this period?
