Mr. FRITZ. I don't think it is a good idea at all because I don't know
what that man might say.
Mr. BALL. I agree.
Mr. McCLOY. You would have jurisdiction to keep out foreign
correspondents if you wanted to?
Mr. FRITZ. Keep them out of the office; yes, sir.
Mr. McCLOY. Keep them out of the building?
Mr. FRITZ. Yes, sir; I wouldn't have charge of the building but I can
keep them out of my office, up to that door, I can have enough officers
I can take care of that fine. Out in that building, that is more or
less a job for the uniform division.
Mr. DULLES. A job for the uniform division, the police?
Mr. FRITZ. A job for the uniform division, they can take charge of it
and they have uniforms.
Mr. DULLES. Who establishes the policy?
Mr. FRITZ. The chief of police establishes the policy. He has
assistants, of course.
Mr. McCLOY. You have testified that you were really hampered in your
investigation, in your interrogation of Oswald by reason of the
confusion.
Mr. FRITZ. I think so.
Mr. McCLOY. By reason of too many people being around, isn't that right?
Mr. FRITZ. I think so, but I am not sure that could have been avoided
under these circumstances.
