Mr. Stern.

you have an opinion as to how many of those arise because of correspondence with the White House by the subject?

Mr. Bouck.

The great majority of them arise from telegrams, telephone calls, unwelcome visitors, letters to the White House.

Mr. Stern.

Unwelcome visitors at the White House?

Mr. Bouck.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

Do you know how many cases within the 7,337 noted here, which I understand is nationwide, were from Texas?

Mr. Bouck.

Yes. I believe we show that in the third paragraph, 115 cases were in Texas.

Mr. Stern.

Yes.

Mr. Bouck.

In addition to the cases investigated. It is up in the third paragraph from the top, right under the table, the second paragraph under the table, sir; right where your finger is, the first line there.

Mr. Dulles.

115?

Mr. Bouck.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

Did the name of Lee Harvey Oswald appear in your files at any time prior to the 22d of November 1963?

Mr. Bouck.

No, sir; we had never heard of him in any context.

Mr. Dulles.

His name doesn't appear at all?

Mr. Bouck.

Not as of that time. Prior to Dallas, it did not appear in any fashion. We had no knowledge of the name.

Mr. Dulles.

You had no report from the State Department or the FBI that covered his trip to Russia or anything of that kind?

Mr. Bouck.

No, sir.

Mr. Mccloy.

Or of the CIA?

Mr. Bouck.

No, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Mr. Bouck, what kind of information do you look for, what are the criteria you apply, in determining whether someone is a potential danger to the President? What do you ask other agencies, Federal, State, and local to be on the lookout for?

Mr. Bouck.

Our criteria is broad in general. It consists of desiring any information that would indicate any degree of harm or potential harm to the President, either at the present time or in the future.

Mr. Stern.

Had you ever prior to Dallas had occasion to---for any part of your activities---list criteria that you would apply in trying to determine whether someone is a potential danger?

Mr. Bouck.

We had not had a formal written listing of criteria as such except in this general form of desiring everything that might indicate a possible source of harm to the safety of the President. We had some internal breakdown of information for the processing of certain kinds of material where the criteria were involved.

Mr. Stern.

I didn't mean to restrict my question to criteria for external sources, but those you used internally as well.

Mr. Bouck.

We had some internal, as well.

Mr. Stern.

I show you now a one-page document entitled "The following criteria are used as guides in determining whether White House mail is to be accepted for PRS processing," which has been marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 763. Can you identify that?

Mr. Bouck.

Yes, sir; this is a document that I helped draft some years ago. It is a document I prepared for the Commission. It is a document that was used up to and at the time of Dallas.

Mr. Stern.

For what purpose?

Mr. Bouck.

For the purpose of screening White House mail. The White House gives us a considerable quantity of mail, not all of which we it is desirable that we keep, and this is a guide to the agents in determining what we should keep and what should go back to be answered by the White House staff.

Mr. Stern.

This guide is not used by the White House mailroom? This is an internal guide for your own agents?

Mr. Bouck.

My own agents.

Mr. Stern.

What instructions does the White House mailroom have as to mail that is to be sent to you?
