Mr. Dean. Yes, sir.
Mr. Griffin. What were those instructions?
Mr. Dean. That they were to let no one in other than—well, first that they were to let no one in until we had completely searched the basement, and then that we would notify them after we had completed the search, and then they were to let no one in except authorized pressmen, properly identified pressmen, newsmen, or policemen.
Mr. Griffin. Did you have some reason to think that those people might be coming through the entranceways that they were guarding?
Mr. Dean. Did I have some reason to think this?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Dean. It was strictly security. I was doing exactly what my orders were, to keep all people out. As far as any reason other than strictly security; no.
Mr. Griffin. What I am suggesting, really, is that you could have given them a blanket order, "Don't let anybody in there"?
Mr. Dean. That's right.
Mr. Griffin. Any reason why you didn't give them that blanket order? Off the record.
