Mr. Goodson. Well, when he came up there, he was about two-thirds drunk, and he was kind of loud, and he came over to the door and was as though he was going to walk in, and I asked him who he was, and he began asking me what had happened and what was going on and what was being done so far as what had happened, and he said that he wanted inside, and I asked him who he was, and he said he was with a newspaperman from the White House press, and he never did show me any identification.
Mr. Hubert. He did show you?
Mr. Goodson. He did not. I told him that he would have to wait in the hallway with the other news people.
Mr. Hubert. Now were you aware that they were checking the people on the third floor for identification as news people?
Mr. Goodson. Well, I didn’t know whether they were or not. They had some officers assigned there at the elevator and the stairway. I don’t know what their job was.
Mr. Hubert. Did you call attention to anyone that this man you have just described had attempted to get into the office, and that he was in what you considered to be a drunken condition, or semidrunken condition?
Mr. Goodson. No; I did not.
Mr. Hubert. Did he just go away then?
Mr. Goodson. Well, he stood around there for quite awhile talking to the other newsmen.
Mr. Hubert. Was he passing out cards or anything of that sort?
