Representative Ford. Who is your superior. By telephone, not in writing?

Mr. Lawson. No, sir.

Representative Ford. Is this the case in all instances?

Mr. Lawson. Well, it usually doesn't happen. Usually I know when you are going some place if the function is to be at the Statler Hotel or something like that.

Representative Ford. Do you know whether or not Mr. Behn made any recommendations on this?

Mr. Lawson. I have no idea.

Representative Ford. You gave him your observations and your recommendations?

Mr. Lawson. I don't know if I gave it to him. I gave his office. Now there were at that time two assistants.

Representative Ford. Did you make a recommendation one over the other?

Mr. Lawson. No; I did not. I said that I was sure we could effectively handle both situations. Again the motorcade was to be taken into consideration also. If you went to the Trade Mart you would have certain ways to go and if you went to the Women's Building you would have certain ways to go. And so they had to decide, someone had to decide whether they wanted the Trade Mart or certain motorcade specifications also, in the 45 minute time lapse.
