Mr. Johnson. Yes. Well, he is not working at all now, and I—he was in town a few days ago seeing doctors, and I told him about this request. I asked him specifically whether he knew anything about—anything further about this letter, and so forth. He did not recall a thing.
Mr. Rankin. Did you ask him whether he had any other contacts with Lee Harvey Oswald except the one that is referred to in that letter?
Mr. Johnson. He did not recall it. I asked him that. I also made a search of his back files and found nothing.
Mr. Rankin. Did you make any inquiry as to whether he knew anything else about Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Johnson. I inquired, I asked him that—this was all on the telephone—and he said, no. And he went to this thing out in the country some place, just to sort of recover from this illness.
Mr. Rankin. And there is a Mr. Tormey that is referred to in that letter. Do you know him too?
Mr. Abt. Mr. Tormey is here, and he is prepared to testify.
Mr. Johnson. Yes; I do.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know what position he occupied about that time?
Mr. Johnson. About that time he was the executive secretary of the Hall-Davis Defense Committee.
