Mr. Griffin. Let me ask you the second question, on the protection of Lee Oswald. Did you observe any inadequacies in the manner in which Oswald was protected that you would be able to bring to our attention?

Mr. Pappas. I am not a police officer. I don’t know what is adequate and what is not. I could not tell you. I am not a law officer.

Mr. Griffin. That is all right. I appreciate that. Do you have any other observations that you would want to make about your experiences in Dallas on those 3 days?

Mr. Pappas. Just that it was one of the saddest assignments that I have had to cover ever, and that it was professionally a challenge. That is all I could say generally about It.

Mr. Griffin. You haven’t any information that you think would be of significance for us?

Mr. Pappas. Nothing; no. I have just told the story so many times. I have just made every statement that I think could be made by me. That is what I know at this point. Unless you can think of something else specifically that you are puzzled about.

Mr. Griffin. No; I haven’t anything in mind. I think we have covered it pretty well as far as we are concerned. One final question, then. You and I have not had any off-the-record conversations, or prior conversations before we began taking your deposition, have we?

Mr. Pappas. Only when you wanted to finish your coffee.

Mr. Griffin. When I saw you out in the hallway and asked you to wait a few minutes?

Mr. Pappas. Yes.
