Chief Curry. Not any particular person, but by the news media that was present.
Mr. Hubert. Do you remember whether anyone advised against allowing the news media in the basement?
Chief Curry. Not that I recall.
Mr. Hubert. Was there any reason, Chief, why the plans for the transfer of Oswald were not made prior to Sunday morning?
Chief Curry. Because we didn’t particularly know when he would be transferred, and we knew that it wouldn’t take a great deal of time to set up security, so we didn’t see any particular need for doing this prior to the time that we did it.
Mr. Hubert. Do you recall any conversation with Captain Fritz just prior to the move as to whether the security precautions were set up?
Chief Curry. I can’t recall. He tells me that he asked if everything was ready in the basement, and I believe that is the words he used, and he says that I said “Yes.” I am sure that I told him this if he says I did, because prior to this, I had sent Chief Batchelor down to be sure that everything was ready.
Mr. Hubert. These various officers that you mentioned would be responsible for carrying out the plan? I think you mentioned Stevenson and Batchelor particularly? They were all briefed as to the overall plan, were they not?
Chief Curry. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. So everyone in control knew what was going to happen?
