Around 7 AM on November 22, 1963 Jim Files drove to the Dallas Cabana Hotel to pick up John Rosselli. Next he drove Rosselli to a pancake house just off a major highway in west Fort Worth. Inside the pancake house, Roselli met with Jack Ruby who gave him a 5" X 9" envelope. Among other things in the envelope was:

"a map in there of the exact motorcade route that would take it through Dealey Plaza. Johnny Rosselli said well they only made one change. That was when he (Roselli) informed me they was coming off of Main Street on to Elm or on to Houston there ... they made the zig-zag, the little turn that they should have never made.
