Mr. Dulles. Did you clear this with the Dallas or Fort Worth office? How do you work out that liaison?

Mr. Hosty. How do you mean, sir?

Mr. Dulles. I mean with the FBI. At this time this was the territory, I assume, of Dallas or Fort Worth.

Mr. Hosty. Right. Irving, Tex., is in the Dallas territory; yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles. The Dallas territory?

Mr. Hosty. Right.

Mr. Dulles. Did you clear or notify the Dallas office either before or after?

Mr. Hosty. You mean after I determined this?

Mr. Dulles. Yes.

Mr. Hosty. Oh, yes, sir. This occurred on the 1st. This was a Friday. I returned to the Dallas office. I covered a couple of other leads on the way back. I got in shortly after 5 o'clock and all our stenos had gone home. This information has to go registered mail, and it could not go then until Monday morning.
