Mr. McCloy. It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 770 was received in evidence.)
Mr. Stern. The newspaper advertisement was a series of questions addressed to President Kennedy asking why he had done certain things.
Mr. Dulles. I remember seeing it. Have you any idea as to the number of these circulars that were distributed, any estimate?
Mr. Lawson. No sir; I have no idea how many were put out. They appeared in certain sections of the city I was told. The police told me they had no idea who had put them out or when they had been put out, and Mr. Sorrels said that some had been brought over to his office by the FBI, which is how he had known about it, and that neither he nor they knew the source of them.
Mr. Dulles. And nobody was apprehended or seen in the act of circulating these.
Mr. Lawson. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Dulles. By any authority as far as you know?
Mr. Lawson. That is right.
Mr. Stern. In respect to questions like what steps are taken to assure the security of the President on the trip and how to work out liaison arrangements with local Federal and municipal authorities, what is your understanding of the division of responsibility between yourself as the advance agent and the head of the local Secret Service office?
