Mr. Rankin. That is all that I have, Mr. Chief Justice.
The Chairman. Have you anything further, or you?
Mr. Dulles. Tippit was not under your jurisdiction, was he?
Mr. Revill. No, sir; he was not.
The Chairman. Lieutenant, I am not familiar with the newspaper report that you are speaking of. What, in substance, did it say?
Mr. Revill. There were several articles written. The Dallas papers carried articles on it and the Sacramento, Calif., paper carried an article on it. In essence it had to do with this conversation that Hosty and I had and about this report and somewhere, someplace some newspaper reporter must have seen a copy of this because he knew how many paragraphs they had in it and he quoted, I believe, the last paragraph of the report verbatim, and this is what concerned me, that a report such as this would fall into their hands.
Now, who the reporter is, there were several reporters that were curious about the thing, and I don't even recall which newspaper carried the verbatim paragraph about Agent Hosty's conversation.
The Chairman. And that is what caused you and Lieutenant Hopkins to have a discussion?
Mr. Revill. Yes, sir.
The Chairman. Did he bring the matter up to you or did you bring it up to him?
