GANNAWAY, W. PATRICK, DPD captain; officer in charge of the DPD Special Service Bureau. Gannaway said that Oswald's description was broadcast following the shooting of JFK because he was missing from a "roll call" at the TSBD. There is evidence, however, that no such roll call ever took place. Besides, Oswald was already under arrest by the time he was a named suspect.

Harold Weisberg on this topic, 1966:[....] The witness Howard Brennan. Perhaps the least credible witness in any official proceeding. This is a man who qualified himself as a witness by saying that he lied when it served his convenience. He was taken to a lineup to identify Oswald, and he is presumably the source of the description, and yet at the lineup, he said he couldn't identify Oswald. O’Connell: When you say the description, you mean the description that went out over the police radio, with reference to a suspect in the President's slaying? Weisberg: Yes, now this addresses, this simple thing of the description that went out over the police radio, in a very comprehensible way, addresses itself to the integrity of everybody involved. We're led to believe that this description came from Brennan. Recognizing the improbability of it, the commission said, "Most probably." Now here we have a man, who is the source of the identification of an assassin. A presidential assassin. The police presumably are going to solve this crime. And they get a description from him and they broadcast the description. But strangely enough, the police don't know who gave them the description, so when the case comes to trial as presumably it was always intended to, they have no way of producing the eyewitness. Either Brennan was the eyewitness who gave them the description that was broadcast, or he was not. Either the description that was broadcast came from an eyewitness or it did not. Now if it came from an eyewitness, how in the world were the police going to produce him if they didn't know his name? How are they going to have a witness for the trial? The description that is broadcast is not that of Brennan. It contains information that Brennan did not give, if any of this can be regarded as information.
