Mr. Dulles. Not a review of the book, but if there are allegations there, any evidence you can factually deny, that would be helpful to have it.
Mr. McCloy. Do you have any record of Buchanan? Do you know anything about Buchanan's background?
Mr. Belmont. No, sir; I do not recall.
Mr. Dulles. I wish you would check.
Mr. Belmont. We can send you a letter.
The Chairman. We have the record.
Mr. McCloy. He seems to be very much Ivy League, Lawrenceville School and Yale.
Mr. Dulles. He was at one time, I believe, he admitted to being a Communist at one time. He was at one time employed by the Washington Star, I am advised, and I believe, according to the information I have, that he was terminated by the Star some years ago.
Mr. Belmont. I thought he had been in touch with the Commission.
The Chairman. He came in, he did come in here, and made a statement which we have recorded. His testimony wasn't taken. He just walked in off the street.
