Representative Ford. Is this unusual?
Mr. Kellerman. Yes. But let me reserve the right to recheck that question again; may I?
Representative Ford. Absolutely. All we want in this case, as in any other, are whatever the facts are to the best of records that are available.
Mr. Kellerman. All right.
Representative Ford. In the report from the Secret Service it says, and I quote, "Because of the incidents on the occasion of the visit of Ambassador Stevenson to Dallas earlier in the fall, special attention was given to extremist groups known to be active in Dallas. Appendix A describes the action taken in Dallas in more detail." Were you familiar with that part of the Secret Service activity prior to your departure for Texas?
Mr. Kellerman. I have knowledge of that; yes, sir.
Representative Ford. How much knowledge?
Mr. Kellerman. But not enough to be written up, that I recall, sir.
Representative Ford. Well, could you describe for the Commission what knowledge you did have in this regard?
Mr. Kellerman. The only knowledge I can describe to you, sir, is the fact that we were aware of what this Ambassador went through down there. However, we had no information that such an incident would happen to President Kennedy on his trip into that State.
