Mr. Rankin. When did you do that?
Mr. Tormey. Well, it was—it would be sometime in the latter part of November or the early part of December of 1963.
Mr. Rankin. How did you happen to make that search?
Mr. Tormey. Well, I had been told that a letter had been received from me by him, and I decided to conduct a routine check.
Mr. Rankin. What was the nature of that search? Will you tell us so we can know how complete it was?
Mr. Tormey. Yes; well, first I kept copies of all communications that I had with anyone.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mr. Tormey. So I would assume in advance that there was a copy, and I asked the person who was managing the office at the time that I was there to look into the files to see if it were possible that such a communication did exist. I found that copy of communication.
Mr. Rankin. Was the person that you asked to make that search a person under your control and direction?
Mr. Tormey. At the time I was with Hall and Davis.
