Mr. Stern. Did that happen with respect to the interviews you conducted on October 29, November 1, and November 5?
Mr. Hosty. To make this a little clearer, this would be an interview of a subject, not of a witness, unless this witness has something that was quite pertinent to the investigation.
Routine-type matters do not have to be put on these interview forms, but pertinent interviews would be. Now everything in this case after the assassination was declared to be pertinent. All interviews, regardless of how insignificant, were to be put on these forms.
Mr. Stern. But the interviews you conducted at the beginning of November and the end of October were not within this rule?
Mr. Hosty. No; because they were not an interview of the subject or anything that contained anything of major importance.
Mr. Stern. Do you yourself destroy the notes?
Mr. Hosty. Yes.
Mr. Stern. Do you recall specifically destroying the notes of your interview?
Mr. Hosty. Yes, sir; in the wastebasket.
Mr. Stern. Your interview of Oswald, on November 22, you put the notes in the wastebasket?
