The testimony of Max E. Clark was taken at 2:10 p.m., on March 25,
1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Wesley J. Liebeler,
assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. LIEBELER. If you will rise and raise your right hand, please, I
will place you under oath.
(Complying.)
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to
give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so
help you God?
Mr. CLARK. I do.
Mr. LIEBELER. Mr. Clark, my name is Wesley J. Liebeler. I am a member
of the legal staff of the President's Commission investigating the
assassination of President Kennedy. Staff members have been authorized
to take the testimony of witnesses by the Commission pursuant to
authority granted to the Commission by Executive Order 11130 dated
November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress No. 137. I
understand that Mr. Rankin sent you a letter last week telling you I
would be in touch with you, with which he enclosed copies of those
documents plus copies of the rules of procedure pertaining to the
taking of testimony. I presume you did receive those documents with
that letter, is that correct?
Mr. CLARK. That is right.
Mr. LIEBELER. I want to take your testimony in two basic areas; first,
your knowledge of Lee Oswald gained as a result of somewhat limited
contact with him, your knowledge of his relations with this so-called
Russian community here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and, two, to
some extent, I want to ask you about your knowledge of Mr. George De
Mohrenschildt.
Mr. LIEBELER. Would you state your full name, please?
Mr. CLARK. Max E. Clark.
Mr. LIEBELER. You are an attorney?
Mr. CLARK. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. A member of the Bar of Texas?
Mr. CLARK. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Any other State?
Mr. CLARK. No, I am licensed to practice in the Federal courts and
American Bar Association.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you maintain your offices in Fort Worth, is that
correct?
Mr. CLARK. That is correct.
Mr. LIEBELER. What is your home address?
Mr. CLARK. 4312 Selkirk Drive West.
Mr. LIEBELER. How long have you been a member of the bar?
