Mr. Rowley. That is correct.
Mr. Rankin. Now, do you have any information of a credible nature that would suggest to you that Oswald was or could have been an agent or informant of any Federal agency?
Mr. Rowley. I have no credible information of that kind; no, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Was he an agent or informant or directly or indirectly connected with the Secret Service in anyway?
Mr. Rowley. Not in any way. We did not know of him until the event.
Mr. Rankin. From the way that the Secret Service employment is arranged, and the records are kept, and the payments are made, if he had ever been placed in any such capacity with the Secret Service, would it have come to your attention?
Mr. Rowley. It would; yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. And you are certain that he never was hired directly or indirectly or acted in that capacity.
Mr. Rowley. He was never hired directly or indirectly in any capacity.
Mr. Rankin. Do you have any credible information that would cause you to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was an agent of any foreign country.
