Mr. Curry.

I believe he would be the first to issue orders. I could be mistaken on that but as I recall he was the first officer.

Mr. Dulles.

You did not give those orders yourself?

Mr. Curry.

No, sir; not myself.

Representative Ford.

How many men participated in the search of the building?

Mr. Curry.

I would just have to guess but I would suggest probably 20 people.

Representative Ford.

Did you check with those who went through this process?

Mr. Curry.

No; I didn't check with each individual officer.

Representative Ford.

Did you get a report?

Mr. Curry.

I got a report from Inspector Sawyer, and also from Chief Lump-kin as to the manner in which it was searched.

Representative Ford.

How long did it take them, do you have any idea?

Mr. Curry.

I believe they were, perhaps, maybe a couple of hours altogether, searching that building.

Representative Ford.

Did they give you an oral or written report on what they found or didn't find?

Mr. Curry.

I believe there were some written reports made. I don't recall now.

Representative Ford.

If there are written reports could we have them?

Mr. Curry.

I think----

Mr. Rankin.

Off the record.
(Discussion off the record.)

Representative Ford.

Back on the record.
Are you familiar with any written report, Chief, on what transpired during the search of the building?

Mr. Curry.

Only what Deputy Chief Lumpkin in his report here in a chronological report that we made, and you have this, as best we could, after this occurred, the deputy chiefs and myself all sat down together went over this from the time we received notice that the President would visit Dallas until the shooting of Oswald, and step by step we tried to go through this as to what we did, and this is what we call a chronological report.

Representative Ford.

If there is a report in anybody's files in the Dallas police department on what transpired during this investigation of the building, there would be no reason why that report couldn't be made available?

Mr. Curry.

No, sir; if we have one it certainly would be made available.

Representative Ford.

Will you check the files of the department and if there is a report available will you submit it to the Commission, please?

Mr. Curry.

Yes, sir; I was trying to.

Mr. Rankin.

Chief Curry, I think that your chronological report does not purport to go into the detail of how the search was made and so forth.

Mr. Curry.

No, sir; it just states in here how Chief Lumpkin, how he formed the search and it tells something about while he was there.

Mr. Mccloy.

The chronological report part of our record yet?

Mr. Belin.

We have a chronological report, yes.

Mr. Mccloy.

Is this the same one as the Chief is looking at?

Mr. Rankin.

We will check that.

Mr. Dulles.

It is not yet an exhibit, is it?

Mr. Rankin.

No; we have, and we were discussing yesterday, a number of items in the form of affidavits and other evidence that we will have to introduce into the record of the Commission before we get through which has been examined by the staff and in some cases called to the Commission's attention but is not formally a matter of record and we will have to complete that before we can complete our report.

Mr. Mccloy.

Is that the same chronological report that the Chief has?

Mr. Curry.

If it isn't I can leave you these copies but they were submitted to Attorney General Cart, two copies. This is what is in this report. "Upon arrival,"--this is Chief Lumpkin----"Upon arrival at the Texas School Book Depository we found Inspector Sawyer was in front of the building and with the assistance of other officers was in the process of detaining anyone or everyone who had any knowledge whatsoever of the shooting. This was discussed with Sawyer. We decided that we would get all persons in that category away
