I note that a good many of these cases are marked closed, but I wanted to ask whether the reports of these cases were brought to your attention either before you left or after you got to Dallas, or are you familiar with them?
Mr. Lawson. I am not familiar with them, but if they are active cases, people that——
Mr. Dulles. In some cases it is stated, "Investigation completed." This particular case, CO2-34007, says:
"Investigation completed on December 12, 1963, by the Dallas office in Texas."
That means that this case at least was closed after the assassination. You don't recall that.
This is a report from a student at the university about a subject that made derogatory remarks against the President. You don't recall that case having been brought to your attention?
Mr. Lawson. I know that Special Agent Howlett told me. I believe this might be connected with one of those informant things outside of Dallas that I was speaking about, but I don't know this—I know it was Texas. Whether this is the same one or not I don't know. But I would only have knowledge of something that was brought to their attention that the President's life was threatened, and I was given no information that such had occurred.
Mr. Dulles. And so you don't recall any of these 10 or 9 other cases here? A good many of them are noted as closed. That situation would not be brought to your attention?
Mr. Lawson. No; they would not.
Mr. Dulles. Would not?
