MEMDRANDUM December 4, 1967 TO: JIM GARRISON, District Attorney FROM: TOM BETHELL RE: AL CLARK * * * On Sunday, December 3, 1967, I spoke to AL CLARK at Dixieland Hall, and asked him about his state- ment to HAROLD WEISBERG that he had seen DEAN ANDREWS talking to LEE HARVEY OSWALD. CLARK stated that when he saw OSWALD on television after the assassination his immediate reaction was that he had seen him before. After thinking about it he came to the conclusion that he had seen OSWALD with ANDREWS. ANDREWS, CLARK recollects, was in the habit of bringing his friends into the back door of Dixieland Hall, and he believes he saw ANDREWS and OSWALD sitting together in the patio right behind Dixieland Hall. CLARK said he did not mention this before because he thought it was common knowledge. that ANDREWS knew OSWALD, and he didn't think it was important. ANDREWS had always told him that he knew OSWALD, and therefore he attached no significance to it. CLARK did not see OSWALD on television in New Orleans when he passed out leaflets in front of the Trade Mart.
