Mr. HOSTY. Auxiliary office.
Mr. STERN. Operating on the request of the New Orleans office to try to
locate him, is that correct?
Mr. HOSTY. That is correct.
Mr. McCLOY. This has all been previously testified to?
Mr. DULLES. I am sorry to have missed that.
Mr. HOSTY. That is all right, Mr. Dulles, that is entirely all right.
Mr. DULLES. Just one question. Are cases of this kind administratively
transferred by agreement between two offices, or does that have to go
up to Washington?
Mr. HOSTY. Washington always gets a copy of these communications. They
know what we are doing. Actually the original is sent to Washington,
and a carbon is sent to the other field office.
Mr. DULLES. But you can transfer it directly from one office to another?
Mr. HOSTY. Right.
Mr. DULLES. And just notify Washington as to the possibility of its
being transferred?
Mr. HOSTY. Right; because he is now residing and employed in our
division. There is no more needs to be done.
Mr. DULLES. I am clear. Thank you very much.
Mr. STERN. I think perhaps we can just complete the line of inquiry
started by Congressman Ford. Do your records or notes show when you
first reduced to writing your notes on the interviews that began on
October 29 and the last one of which occurred on November 5?
Mr. HOSTY. I can only say that it would have been sometime between the
22d of November and the 2d of December, because it went out in a report
on the 2d of December.
