Representative Ford. When one of the Secret Service agents went down to Dallas prior to the assassination in his preparation for the visit of the President he checked through informants in certain right-wing elements in Dallas to see whether or not there was to be any violence at the time of the President's visit. There have been allegations to the effect that Oswald was in some way connected with such alleged right-wing organizations. Did you have any knowledge of that?
Mr. Fain. No, sir; no, sir.
Representative Ford. Did you have any reason to check it?
Mr. Fain. No; all the information that I had and as these reports will reflect, he was along the lines of Marxist, Communist, if anything, and I don't think you will find any indication that he was on the other.
Representative Ford. You had no information that he was in any way whatsoever connected with the alleged right-wing organizations?
Mr. Fain. That is right. That is right, I did not.
Mr. McCloy. Did any Secret Service people get in contact with you prior to the visit of the President, or did you get in contact with them?
Mr. Fain. No, sir. You see, I retired from the FBI October 29 of 1962. The President was down there November 22, of 1963.
Mr. McCloy. I forgot.
Mr. Dulles. That was how long, I didn't catch the date, how long before the assassination attempt?
