Representative Ford. Mr. Specter—was there ever a recording kept of the questions and answers at that interview, Dr. Perry?
Dr. Perry. This was one of the things I was mad about, Mr. Ford. There were microphones, and cameras, and the whole bit, as you know, and during the course of it a lot of these hypothetical situations and questions that were asked to us would often be asked by someone on this side and recorded by some one on this, and I don't know who was recorded and whether they were broadcasting it directly. There were tape recorders there and there were television cameras with their microphones. I know there were recordings made but who made them I don't know and, of course, portions of it would be given to this group and questions answered here and, as a result, considerable questions were not answered in their entirety and even some of them that were asked, I am sure were misunderstood. It was bedlam.
Representative Ford. I was thinking, was there an official recording either made by the hospital officials or by the White House people or by any government agency?
Dr. Perry. Not to my knowledge.
Representative Ford. A true recording of everything that was said, the questions asked, and the answers given?
Dr. Perry. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Dulles. Was there any reasonably good account in any of the press of this interview?
Representative Ford. May I ask——
Dr. Perry. I have failed to see one that was asked.
