(Testimony of Patrick Trevore Dean)
Mr. Dean.
trajectory of the line of fire. My impression of him was that since he said that he had talked it over with his attorney and didn't know what to do with these things, that he seemed to be scared as to whether to keep them or throw them away or what. When he told me that he would send them to me, that he said, "You can have them. I haven't developed them, and you don't have to send me any copies of them back."
Mr. Griffin.
Will you notify .us as soon as they receive those films?
Mr. Dean.

Mr. Griffin.
Yes.
Mr. Dean.
I was just wondering if you had the FBI report on it?
Mr. Griffin.
We do. And I just wanted to make sure that as far as any statements are concerned, that you have made, or report, that you had a chance to look at them, and to my knowledge, I think I have shown you every
one that we have on it.
Mr. Dean.
All right.
Mr. Griffin.
Okay. That's all.
