Senator Cooper. Of the procession which passed the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Hosty. That is correct, sir.
Senator Cooper. Did it occur to you to communicate this information to the Secret Service or the Dallas police about Oswald?
Mr. Hosty. No, sir; there would be no reason for me to give it to them.
Mr. McCloy. You did know he was lying though, didn't you?
Mr. Hosty. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCloy. Don't you think the combination of the fact that you knew that he was lying and that he was a defector and that he had this record with the Fair Play for Cuba, that he might be involved in some intrigue that would be if not necessarily violent, he was a dangerous security risk?
Mr. Hosty. He was a security risk of a sort, but not the type of person who would engage in violence. That would be the indication.
Representative Ford. What are the criteria for a man being a potential violent man? Is this a subjective test?
Mr. Hosty. You mean to the point where we would report him to the Secret Service?
