Mr. Rankin. And was that direction promptly given?
Mr. Curry. I am sure it was passed on immediately. All orders are.
Mr. Rankin. How soon after the assassination?
Mr. Curry. I would say probably within the next day after we met and we decided that an investigation should be conducted into all phases of this.
Mr. Rankin. Did you give any directions about furnishing information immediately about what anyone knew about the killing of Oswald?
Mr. Curry. No specific directions. After Oswald was killed, I called and I talked with Deputy Chief Stevenson of the criminal investigation division the next morning of the next day, I believe this was Monday, and we decided we should appoint an investigative group.
Mr. Rankin. Who was that?
Mr. Curry. That was Inspector Sawyer, headed by Inspector Sawyer.
Mr. Rankin. Who else?
Mr. Curry. And Captain O. A. Jones, and then I think they had some lieutenants assigned to it and some detectives. Their assignment was to find out every person who was present in or around the city hall at the time that Lee Oswald was killed, and to get a report from them.
