Mr. Hosty. The internal security squad.
Mr. Stern. What did you do on October 3 and thereafter?
Mr. Hosty. Well, there wasn't too much to go on, just a woman driving a station wagon with a Texas license plate. I went to the immigration office to check to see if they had any information, tried to determine if we had any persons around the area, I tried to think of anyone who spoke Russian who had a station wagon and who was a friend of Marina Oswald's. I went to Fort Worth and checked in his old neighborhood, Lee and Marina's old neighborhood, attempted to locate Robert Oswald, his brother, and determined that Robert Oswald had left the Fort Worth area, had moved to Arkansas.
I then sent out a lead to the Little Rock office which covered the area of Malvern, Ark., where Robert Oswald was living, and requested that he be contacted to see if he knew where Lee Oswald was. Then I continued checking through the Dallas and Fort Worth area attempting to determine if the Oswalds had returned to the Dallas or Fort Worth areas.
Mr. Stern. Was this a usual or unusual amount of effort?
Mr. Hosty. I would say usual amount. I went to neighborhoods where I knew they had been, checked with relatives who had previously been cooperative, just the usual.
Mr. Stern. Was there any notion of urgency in locating him that you got from the New Orleans office?
Mr. Hosty. No particular note of urgency. Just to let me know that he had left and be on the alert for him.
Mr. Stern. Did they tell you anything about what he had been doing in New Orleans?
Mr. Hosty. Not at that time.
