Mr. Hosty. The only other thing that they sent was a photograph of Lee Oswald taken at the New Orleans Police Department when he was arrested during the summer of 1963. The report of Milton Kaack of the 31st had covered everything else.

Mr. Stern. Just to be clear, you were not waiting for this shift of administrative responsibility before you did anything?

Mr. Hosty. No; I mean if there was anything else to do, I would have gone ahead and done it.

Mr. Dulles. Was that action in Washington or New Orleans?

Mr. Hosty. New Orleans.

Mr. Stern. Had anything else arrived at your Dallas office that you were told about at that point?

Mr. Hosty. Not at that point, no; nothing had arrived then. I then took the file to the agent in charge.

Mr. Dulles. May I ask one point here?

Mr. Hosty. Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles. From the point of view of the administration, is the New Orleans office over the Dallas office, or are they equal?
