Mr. Stern. This did not come about, this change did not come about, through any request from the Secret Service or discussion with the Secret Service?
Mr. Belmont. No. We made these changes, as I say, in an effort to provide any additional information in the light of what happened that might be of assistance to Secret Service and might assist in protecting the President.
Mr. Dulles. I wonder, Mr. Belmont, whether you would consider possibly changing in section (d) the word "and" to "or" whose prior acts or statements depict propensity for violence" and then it now reads "and hatred against organized government". There have been cases, I believe, where the propensity for violence had not been previously noted but the hatred of organized government has.
Mr. Belmont. We will be happy to change that.
Mr. Dulles. I just suggest for your consideration, I don't wish to rewrite it.
Mr. Belmont. We would be happy to change it, Mr. Dulles.
Mr. Stern. Following Mr. Dulles' thought, in the line above that, Mr Belmont, should that "and" before (d) be "and" or "or"? Do you mean these——
Mr. Belmont. We do not mean that all of these items must be coupled together if that is your thought.
Mr. Stern. That is right.
Mr. Belmont. We will be happy to change the "and" before (d) to an "or".
