Representative Ford. Now, did Lawson or anybody else communicate to you what was going on in this regard?
Mr. Kellerman. No, no. I do not think Mr. Lawson got in this investigative part at all. It would not be any part of his duties.
Representative Ford. I am only reading from the report.
Mr. Kellerman. Yes.
Representative Ford. And the report goes on to say, "Their investigations did not bring to light the name or the individual Lee H. Oswald, and he or his name was not known to them or any other Secret Service agent in Dallas or elsewhere prior to this shooting of the President." Would that be the same as far as you are concerned?
Mr. Kellerman. That is very true.
Representative Ford. You did not know of Lee H. Oswald?
Mr. Kellerman. None whatsoever.
Representative Ford. Was it surprising to you that when the President was going to a city as large as Dallas, that there were no names turned over to you, either by your Protective Research Section or by any other Federal agents—individuals or an individual dangerous to the President?
Mr. Kellerman. I recall, to give you an answer, Congressman, that it did seem strange that here we are hitting five cities in one State and—and from the apparent trouble Ambassador Stevenson had down there one evening, we certainly should have had some information on somebody.
