Mr. Belmont. No; I did not.
Mr. Stern. This liaison function.
Mr. Belmont. This is something we have done for years on the basis that we consider it our responsibility not only as far as the President goes. As you know, Mr. Chairman, we have also followed the same policy relative to other high officials when it appears desirable.
Mr. Stern. Have you subsequent to the assassination augmented your instructions to special agents in this respect?
Mr. Belmont. Yes. On December 26, 1963, we prepared additional instructions reiterating those already in effect, and adding other dissemination to Secret Service concerning the security of the President.
The Chairman. Where do those new ones appear in the exhibit, Mr. Belmont?
Mr. Belmont. They appear as an attachment—working from the back, I think, Mr. Chairman, I can help you most.
The Chairman. Yes.
Mr. Belmont. Eight pages from the back it starts, it reads, "Manual of Instructions Section 83."
The Chairman. Yes; I have it.
