C. 20515 RE: Individuals subpoenaed to the Orleans Parish Grand Jury Dear Jon: Following is a list of persons I recall as having testified before the Grand Jury in connection with our inquiry into the assassination of President Kennedy.

Dean Andrews, who clearly lied during his Grand Jury testimony, was subsequently charged with perjury (essentially, as I recall the charge) with regard to his testimony that Clay Shaw was not the "Clay Bertrand" who contacted him about representing Lee Harvey Oswald.
