Mr. Stern. Was anyone else present during this conversation?
Mr. Hosty. As I said, this took place in the outer office of Capt. Will Fritz. There were about 30 or 40 people milling around out there. There were three or four Texas Rangers. There were perhaps a dozen Dallas police officers. There were, as I said, five or six Secret Service agents.
There were three other FBI agents besides myself, various clerical personnel from the police department who were assigned to the homicide division. I recognized two postal inspectors. I directed this conversation to Mr. Sorrels. I called him to one side and directed this to him directly.
Mr. Stern. Did you repeat the same information to anyone else later on?
Mr, Hosty. No, sir.
Mr. Stern. What did you have in mind? What were the two pieces of information?
Mr. Hosty. The two pieces of information I had in mind were the contacts that Lee Oswald had with the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City, and the contact that he had had with the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Stern. Were you in touch with your Dallas office from the police headquarters regularly during the evening of the 22d?
Mr. Hosty. Yes. I went out and made phone calls to them, advised them of my interview and how things were going.
Mr. Stern. Did you make any calls directly to Bureau headquarters in Washington?
