Mr. Gallagher. I have been with the FBI approximately 18 years.
Mr. Redlich. Very briefly, what has been the nature of your affiliation with the FBI?
Mr. Gallagher. The greater part of that 18 years I have been assigned to the FBI Laboratory, and in particular to the Physics and Chemistry Section. I work in the spectrographic unit of the FBI Laboratory.
Mr. Redlich. And this is what you have been doing for the greater portion of your 18 years with the FBI?
Mr. Gallagher. That is correct.
Mr. Redlich. What is your educational background, Mr. Gallagher?
Mr. Gallagher. I graduated from Boston College with a bachelor of science degree in 1939, and I returned for 2 years on a fellowship to obtain a master of science degree.
When I entered the military service I was sent for a 9-month course at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in meteorology. Following my discharge from the Army, I joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I received special agents’ training, and have taken specialized courses during my period in the FBI, one of which was a course in neutron activation analysis at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory—correction—at Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, from September 24 to October 5, 1962.
Mr. Redlich. Are you familiar with a technique of analysis which is called neutron activation analysis?
Mr. Gallagher. Yes, sir; I am familiar with the technique known as neutron activation analysis.
