Mr. Rankin. And you hoped the information would not get out?
Mr. Revill. By hoping——
The Chairman. He didn't say exactly that, Mr. Rankin. He said he hoped he wouldn't have to use it against Hosty as I understood him to say.
Mr. Revill. Yes, sir; my opinion, and this was my personal opinion that it would not serve any purpose. In your scope of the investigation, yes, I can see where it would, but I hated to get involved in a controversy with the FBI, because of our past relations.
Mr. Rankin. Did you recently have a conversation with Lieutenant Hopkins of Fort Worth?
Mr. Revill. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Where was that?
Mr. Revill. Lieutenant Hopkins and I went to Sacramento, Calif., to a law enforcement intelligence unit conference and shared a room.
Mr. Rankin. Did you discuss this matter with him?
Mr. Revill. Yes, sir; it broke in the papers while we were there.
