Mr. Lawson. No.
Mr. Dulles. In some cases it is noted, "Subsequent activity none." It is stated, "Periodic checkups were not deemed necessary. Prosecution was declined."
This was the case of a remark made by a gentleman at a bridge party. You don't recall that case?
Mr. Lawson. No, sir; I wouldn't have any occasion to know what cases have come into PRS.
Mr. Dulles. Even if they related to Dallas?
Mr. Lawson. Only if they related to Dallas, and I have been told that these individuals were in the active file, it was an open case, and that we should be watchful of this particular individual, but I was given none of this information.
Mr. Dulles. In your case when you left Washington you weren't given any cases that you considered dangerous in the Dallas area?
Mr. Lawson. No, sir.
Representative Ford. When they do give you the name and the case of an individual such as in the instance of Buffalo, what do you get? What is given to you, I mean?
Mr. Lawson. You are given the name and the number of the case, and then there is a file in Buffalo just like there is a file in Washington, and you can review that file there, and depending on the circumstances you would again have the person followed, or try something to keep him away from the President.
