Two-page KRLD-TV news voiceover copy about Lee Harvey Oswald's arrest and possible involvement in the assassination titled "Suspect, Prime..." written by Bob Huffaker. The report would have been read over silent news footage, the lengths of which are indicated by numbers written at the top and in the margins of the pages.The report is printed in purple ink on white paper with many handwritten notes by Huffaker in black ink throughout. The story was still so new that Lee Harvey Oswald's name was not yet well-known and can be seen here typed originally as "Lee Harvey Oswald," later corrected by hand as "Lee Harold Oswald."
