I'm working on an edit for the Wikipedia article on the roll program that some rockets used when getting into orbit. I found a good reference for the Saturn V, but the article's original authors claim that the Titan II rolled as well. I haven't been able to find anything that confirms or denies that. Did it execute a roll program at launch?

Yes, I believe so. The first reference I found was a transcript of Jim McDivitt's presentation to the Society of Experimental Test Pilots where he narrated a film of an unmanned Gemini flight (bold is mine):
This will be a little faster than normal time. There's ignition! You can see the first-stage tank pressures coming down. We've got the roll program where the booster is aligning us up with the flight path. Now we've started the pitch program. These are rate needles here.
Here's another mention, from "Gemini Flies!", referring to Gemini 3:
Just two seconds into the mission, Grissom reported that the onboard clock had started. This was followed ten seconds later by confirmation that the vehicle had begun its planned roll program and then by the pitch over at T+25 seconds.
