Mrs. Kennedy gave her testimony June 5 at what was then her Georgetown home to Chief Justice Earl Warren and the counsel of the Warren Commission, J. Lee Rankin. The then Atty.

Gen. Robert F. Kennedy was present. The testimony was included in the volumes of evidence on which the Warren Commission made it: report Sept. 27.

Some of these volumes have just become available to the Associated Press.

She said, for example, she has no recollection of crawling toward the back of 5 Auto J-1-ril ii-inr i HER FIRST AGONIZED THOUGHTS after the assassination were that she might have been able to save the President's life.
