Mr. RANKIN. Did he say anything to you about it?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; he did. He told me to put this on paper.
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; and to which I told him that I hated to do that because of Mr. Hosty, that he might have been stating a personal opinion. He said, "You put it on paper and give it to me and I will take it to Chief Curry," and this I did.
Within 30 minutes to an hour after the thing happened.
Mr. RANKIN. Neither one of you said anything about this being strange that Agent Hosty would say anything like this?
Mr. RANKIN. You didn't say anything like that?
Mr. REVILL. I don't recall making such a statement.
Mr. RANKIN. And he didn't say anything like that to you that you recalled?
Representative FORD. Did you write this out in longhand?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; and then I dictated it to one of the stenos in the office. And she was to, this is what I mentioned earlier the time element, she was to, she got off at 4 o'clock and this was before she went home for the day.
Mr. DULLES. This is on November 22 you are talking about?
Mr. DULLES. Did you sign it on November 22 or at a later date?
Mr. DULLES. But you swore to it on the 7th day of April 1964?
Mr. DULLES. You swore that was your signature?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; at the time I was hoping it would never come up.
Mr. REVILL. Because of the relations that we had with the Bureau.
Mr. RANKIN. You thought this was a bad thing for the Bureau?
Mr. RANKIN. For them to admit to you that they knew----
Mr. REVILL. Not the admitting but to withhold it.
Mr. RANKIN. They thought this man was capable of being an assassin?
Mr. RANKIN. And yet you say that Agent Hosty just blurted that out?
Mr. RANKIN. Have you told us all that you remember about it?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; all that I remember.
Mr. DULLES. Could I ask a question that comes right along with that? Did he say anything to you about his having been in Russia and redefected?
Mr. DULLES. That did not come up in this conversation?
Mr. RANKIN. Did you ask him how he knew he was a Communist?
Representative FORD. In the statement that you gave on November 22 which you have signed, you say?
Representative FORD. "The subject was arrested for the murder of J. D. Tippit and is a prime suspect in the assassination of President Kennedy."
