Representative Ford. Your first contact with Mr. Hosty was in the basement there?

Mr. Revill. Yes, sir.

Representative Ford. What did he say there?

Mr. Revill. He come running up to me, and he said, "Jack, a Communist killed President Kennedy." I said, "What? What are you talking about?" He said, "Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy," and at that I said "Who is Lee Harvey Oswald?" And then he told me about him having him in their security files, and then that, "We had information that he was capable of this." By "we" I assumed he meant the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Representative Ford. Then Brian, Hosty, and yourself walked to the elevator?

Mr. Revill. Yes, sir.

Representative Ford. And the three of you took the elevator up to the third floor?

Mr. Revill. Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles. It is about 10 feet as I remember it.

Mr. Revill. No, sir; it is more than that.
