Re: ASS:L.SSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY, 1.70vE:3ER 22, 1963, DALLAS, TEXAS The radio transmissions for the period 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. on November 22, 1963, and 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. on November 24, 1963, cn Channel 1 of Dallas Police Radio Station N.X3 364 were recorded on dictabelts using "Dictaphones" purchased by the Dallas Police Department in These dictabolts are badly worn from being played and, in many places, the dictabelt skips and some of the messages are garbled. The radio transmissions for the period 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. on November 22, 1963, on Channel 2 of Dallas Police Radio Station KIM 364 were recorded on a "Gray Audograph" recorder using 81/4" flexible Celluloid discs This equipment was purchased by the Dallas Police Department in the early 1950's. It was noted that these discs are badly warn from being played. In many places, the discs skip and portions of the messages are garbled. On July 21, 1964, Lieutenant.D.H...GASSETT, Plateau Commander, Dallas Police Department, advised that on November 22, 1963, between the hours of 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., three radio dispatchers were on duty at the Dallas Police Department at the same tire. Ho stated that two dispatchers handled Channel 1, each working an opposite side of the radio console which separated one dispatcher from the sight of the other. On this radio console, above each dispatcher, are a series of knobs with a unit number assigned to each knob. The purpose of the knobs is to indicate Which units are "in service" and Which units are "cut of service." Upon being contacted by any of the units the dispatcher, in addition to replying to the unit calling, adjusts the knob relating to the unit calling, to either the "in service" or "out of service" position. The third radio dispatcher's position is located at one end of the radio console. This position is for the Channel 2 dispatcher. Channel 2 is usually used only When a special situation is anticipated, as was the case on November 22, 1963, during the Presidential motorcade. This relieves the volume of - 2 -

Lieutenant GASSETC advised that each dispatcher has a time stamp clock before him and pointed out these clocks are not synchronized. He demonstrated by simultaneously time stamping a blank piece of paper, using two of the clocks. It wz.5. noted that one clock stamped the time as 11:16 A.M. and that the other clock stamped the time as 11:17 A.M. He stated this would explain a time element variation between Channel 1 and Channel 2. He further pointed out that the position of the hands on the clock appear different, depending on the angle. of sight from which one is looking at the clock. He stated a short person would have a different angle of sight than a tall parson. Lieutenant GASSETT stated this quite probably could explain the time element variation of the shooting of Officer J. D. TIPPIT with the Channel 1 entry indicating the approximate time as 1:16 P.M. and the Channel 2 entry indicating the approximate time as 1:18 P.M. Lieutenant GASSETT also pointed out that the information relating to the shooting of Officer TIPPIT was broadcast to the Dallas Police Department on Channel 1 by a citizen using Officer TIPPIT's police car radio, Which is a different radio frequency than Channel 2. He stated that this same information was then rebroadcast on Channel 2, which could also explain the time element variation between 1:16 P.M. and 1:1$ P.M. The following is a transcript of the radio transmissions from Channel 1 and Channel 2 of the Dallas Police Radio Station XI:3 364 for the periods 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. on November 22, 1963, and 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. on November 24, 1963, it being noted that Channel 2 was not operating during the period 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. on November 24, 1963, as they relate to the assassination of President KENNEDY, murder of Dallas Police Officer J. D. TIPPIT, investigations of said assassination and murder, and the security and movement of LEE HARVEY OSWALD to the Dallas County Jail: - 3 -
