(Testimony of Kenneth Lawry Dowe)

Mr. Dowe.
the premises of the radio station. However, he is pretty positive that he has never seen Ruby at the station except on his introduction to him."
I can't remember giving anybody any report saying I had seen him several different times. I don't think I did, but I only saw him one time in the station. They had that earlier in the report to show that, really, it repeats itself, but that should make that correct.
With those corrections, that is as well as I can recollect at this time what is the actual truth of the matter.
Mr. Griffin.
Fine. To clarify this in your own mind, I think in the first report they had written referring to "he has been in Dallas for about 6 weeks, and after the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, he recalled that an individual who stopped by the radio station on a couple of occasions was Jack Ruby."
Mr. Dowe.
Apparently that was it. I might be misled on a couple of occasions. What I was trying to say was, that he had been by there on probably several occasions. I said a couple of occasions, but I only met him once.
Mr. Griffin.
Fine, I think it is clear. I certainly have no mistake after listening to the testimony as to how many times you have seen him.
Is there anything else that we haven't covered that you think we should have covered?
Do you have any other information that might be valuable to the Commission?
Mr. Dowe.
Not a thing. It has been so long, that really after so many reports, I hope I haven't confused you, but I think this is it.
Mr. Griffin.
Let me ask you one further question, I think we neglected to ask you at the beginning. Are you presently employed with KLIF?
Mr. Dowe.
Yes, I am.
Mr. Griffin.
All right, thank you very much. I appreciate your spending the time with us this morning.
Mr. Dowe.
You are very welcome.
Mr. Griffin.
Nice meeting you.
Mr. Dowe.
Come back and visit Dallas.
Mr. Griffin.
I may be back.
Mr. Dowe.
It is a nice place. Thank you for letting me come this morning. I am sorry I couldn't make it this afternoon.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you please sign your name on Exhibit No. 2? [Mr. Dowe Signs name.]
Mr. Griffin.
Fine. Thank you very much. Bye.
Mr. Dowe.
Bye, bye.

T. M. Hansen, Jr.

-----------------------

The testimony of T. M. Hansen, Jr. was taken at 1 p.m., on July 24, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Burt W. Griffin, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.

Mr. Griffin.
Let me introduce myself again for the record. My name is Burt Griffin.
Mr. Hansen.
G-r-i-f-f-i-n?
Mr. Griffin.
That's right. I am a member of the general counsel's the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.
Mr. Hansen.
Before we begin the actual testimony, it has been our practice to explain to you very briefly what this is all about. Then if you have any questions that you want to ask before we swear you in, why do that too.
The President's Commission was established by virtue of an Executive order of President Johnson, which was issued last year in November, and also of the rules of a joint resolution of Congress.
We have been speifically directed to investigate into and evaluate and report back to President Johnson on all the facts that had to do with the assassination of President Kennedy and the death of Lee Harvey Oswald.
