Mr. JENNER. Mr. Chief Justice and members of the Commission, the
three-page document relates to a meeting held in the home of Dr.
Morris. Is that Dr. Robert Morris?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That is right, of Dallas, Tex.
Mr. JENNER. Which recounts the plans for infiltration of conservative
groups in Dallas, Tex., upon which the witness has somewhat expanded
in his testimony this morning.
Mr. DULLES. Has the witness indicated who Mr. Bob Morris was? I don't
recall that.
Mr. WEISSMAN. Bob Morris at that time was president of the Defenders of
American Liberties in Dallas, Tex., and recently was a candidate for
political office in Dallas.
Mr. DULLES. What office?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I believe he was running in the primary for Senator.
Mr. JENNER. U.S. Senate.
Mr. WEISSMAN. U.S. Senator.
Mr. JENNER. I just want to be sure I have covered this. You received
both of the documents now marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 1050 and 1049
in due course through the U.S. mail at your station in Munich, Germany?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. JENNER. The next series is--consists of a two-page letter which has
been marked Commission Exhibit No. 1044, addressed to "Dear Bernie" at
Dallas, Tex., on June 13, 1963, also signed in typing "Best, Larrie."
That is again Larrie Schmidt, is it?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1044 for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. That document was enclosed in what?
Mr. WEISSMAN. In this envelope here.
Mr. JENNER. And the envelope is marked Commission Exhibit No. 1046?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That's right.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1046 for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. For the purposes of the record, Commission Exhibit No.
1046 is an envelope postmarked at Dallas, Tex., on June 14, 1963.
The envelope is imprinted with "Young Americans for Freedom. Inc.,
Southwestern U.S. Regional Headquarters, P.O. Box 2364, Dallas 21,
Texas," and addressed to Pfc. Bernie Weissman. That is you?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Was there anything else enclosed in an envelope?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I believe it was this.
Mr. JENNER. A newspaper clipping from the Dallas Morning News which
has been marked and identified as Commission Exhibit No. 1045. Is that
right?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That's right.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1045 for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. The caption of this reads "Panel Reports Birch Society
Dedicated But Not Dangerous."
Those three documents were received by you from Larrie Schmidt?
Mr. WEISSMAN. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. The third from the last of this series, a letter dated at
Dallas, Tex., June 2, 1963, addressed to "Dear Bernie," Commission
Exhibit No. 1037. Also in typing "Larrie." Who is that?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Larrie Schmidt.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1037 for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. There is some handwriting at the bottom of that letter--do
you recognize it?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; that is Larrie Schmidt's.
Mr. JENNER. Did you receive that document?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I did.
Mr. JENNER. And was the handwriting on the document when you received
it?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; it was.
Mr. JENNER. Was it enclosed in an envelope?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; it was.
Mr. JENNER. You received the mail, then.
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. In the envelope I now show you marked Commission Exhibit
No. 1037-A?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1037-A for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. Addressed to you. Was there something further enclosed with
those?
Mr. WEISSMAN. I think this piece.
Mr. JENNER. Which is Commission Exhibit No. 1037-B.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1037-B for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. This is a handbill of Young Americans For Freedom, Inc.
Mr. WEISSMAN. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. You received all three documents I have now identified as
Commission Exhibits Nos. 1037, 1037-A, and 1037-B in due course through
the U.S. mail.
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; I did.
Mr. JENNER. Next to the last of this series is a letter, single page
marked Commission Exhibit No. 1038, dated June 26, 1963, at Dallas,
Tex., addressed to "Dear Bernie" signed again in typewriting as
"Larrie." Have you seen that document before?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; I have.
Mr. JENNER. When did you first see it?
Mr. WEISSMAN. When I received it in the mail.
Mr. JENNER. I show you an envelope marked Commission Exhibit No. 1038-A.
(The document was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1038-A for
identification.)
Mr. JENNER. Is that envelope the envelope in which Commission Exhibit
No. 1038 was enclosed?
Mr. WEISSMAN. Yes; and as a reference, the handwriting on the outside
of these envelopes on this and the other exhibits that refer to the
contents were put on by me about a week ago, so I could identify it.
Mr. JENNER. Please read what you have written on the face of Commission
Exhibit No. 1038-A.
