Mr. Hosty. As I say, the place was swarming with people. Just the two of us were going up the stairs together. My conversation was with Lieutenant Revill only.

Mr. Stern. I now show you a document marked for identification Commission 831, a letter dated April 27, 1964, from Director Hoover to Mr. Rankin, the General Counsel of this Commission, having attached a one-page copy of a newspaper article and an affidavit. Do you recognize this letter?

Mr. Hosty. Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Stern. Where have you seen it?

Mr. Hosty. I have seen the file copy of this letter in the FBI files.

Mr. Stern. Do you recognize the newspaper article which is the first attachment to this letter?

Mr. Hosty. Yes, sir. It appeared in the Dallas Morning News on April 24, 1964, I believe.

Mr. Stern. And the attachment after this is?

Mr. Hosty. My affidavit.

Mr. Stern. Your affidavit of five pages?
