(Testimony of Seth Kantor Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
I am going to mark the cover of this notebook in the following manner: "Seth Kantor, Deposition June 3, 1964, Exhibit No. 3."
(The document referred to was marked Seth Kantor Exhibit No. 3, June 3, 1964, for identification.)
Mr. Kantor.
May I say something off the record?
Mr. Griffin.
Sure. (Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Griffin.
Then on the page "Yarb-third car back," I will cross out where I have written the identification in full and I will write "3-A," so that we are correct here. Does this page which I am pointing my finger to, is that a note that was taken at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. Kantor.
At approximately 1:30 during the afternoon.
Mr. Griffin.
If you would, could you find the first page in here that you believe was made at the Dallas Police Station?
I am going to mark these pages at the bottom, subletter "3-B," "3-C,' et cetera, the ones he has identified as having been made at the Dallas Police Station, so that we will have subletters in here and in the record a list of the pages which Mr. Kantor indicates were made contemporaneously with his activities at the police station.
Mr. Hubert.
Is that correct, Mr. Kantor?
Mr. Kantor.
Correct.
Mr. Hubert.
And you have picked out the ones that fit the definition just given by Mr. Griffin?
Mr. Kantor.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
The last page is where I have put the paper clip.
Mr. Hubert.
We want all of them between the paper clips. I have marked all of the pages starting with 3-A, Mr. Kantor, and running through the alphabet and then starting another series of 3 using double A and double B and so forth through 3 double R, and I ask you if it is not a fact that all of these pages so marked are in your handwriting.
Mr. Kantor.
Yes; they are.
Mr. Hubert.
They were notes made by you contemporaneously with the events to which they relate?
Mr. Kantor.
Yes; they were made contemporaneously.
Mr. Hubert.
All right. We will have these photostated and give the book back to you.
Mr. Kantor.
All right.
(The documents referred to were marked Seth Kantor Exhibits Nos. 3-A through 3-RR for identification.)
Mr. Hubert.
Now, Mr. Kantor, you have handed me a series of papers which seem to be in order, that is to say, pages running from 1, I think, through 19.
Mr. Kantor.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
Which I am marking for identification on the first page by placing the following at the bottom: "Washington, D.C., June 3, 1964, Exhibit No. 4, Deposition of Seth Kantor," and I ask you what these documents purport to be.
(The document referred to was marked Seth Kantor Exhibit No. 4 for identification.)
Mr. Kantor.
These documents are notes which I made upon my return from Dallas after spending 16 days following the assassination of the President. They are notes which, by and large, I hadn't written down as events occurred but which I wanted to put down on paper while I still remembered everything in as great a detail as possible.
Mr. Hubert.
Were these notes which have been marked as Exhibit No. 4, made all at one time?
Mr. Kantor.
No; they were not. They were made over a 1-week period.
Mr. Hubert.
What period was that, in point of calendar date?
Mr. Kantor.
They were in December 1963.
Mr. Hubert.
They were made by you?
Mr. Kantor.
They were made by me.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you make them in fact?
Mr. Kantor.
I rented a tape recorder and spoke all of this into the tape
