Mr. Stern. Your report indicates at page 8 that the files of the office of naval intelligence in Louisiana were checked. Was that done at your request, if you recall? Did you check those files?
Mr. Fain. I did not. That would have been checked in the New Orleans division.
Mr. Stern. Would this have been done at your request or on the instructions of someone else?
Mr. Fain. I am of the opinion that that information probably came along with the other information or subsequent to the other information on which this case was predicated. I don't recall asking them to make any check like that.
Mr. Stern. The first paragraph on page 1 reads a little differently. It says, "Information received by communication from the Naval District," and on page 8 you refer to a check of the files of Naval Intelligence.
Mr. Fain. It sounds like a check was made, and they had made some information available to us, and I incorporated it in this report.
Mr. Stern. "They" is—who do you mean by "they"?
Mr. Fain. The New Orleans Division of the FBI.
Mr. Stern. Of the FBI?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir.
