Mr. Belmont. No, sir.
The Chairman. It may be admitted as Exhibit No. 834.
(The document referred to, previously marked Commission Exhibit No. 834 for identification, was received in evidence.)
Mr. Stern. Mr. Belmont, can you identify this letter dated February 6 with an attached affidavit which has been marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 835?
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 835, for identification.)
Mr. Belmont. Yes; this is a letter dated February 6, 1964, to the Commission from the FBI to which is attached an affidavit by Director J. Edgar Hoover.
Mr. Stern. What is the subject?
Mr. Belmont. Stating flatly that Lee Harvey Oswald was never an informant of the FBI.
Mr. Dulles. Would you define informant. Obviously in the sense he knew some information as previously indicated from the previous interviews. I mean for the record, would you just define what you mean by an informant in this sense?
Mr. Belmont. An informant in this sense is an individual who has agreed to cooperate with the FBI and to furnish information to the FBI either for or without payment.
