Mr. Rowley.

I think there are certain things that you have to allow the man who is operating as a politician, and not as head of state. I mean this makes a difference in your operation.

Mr. Rankin.

Chief Rowley, did you give us a report of the activities in protecting the President at and around Parkland Hospital?

Mr. Rowley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

And is that Commission Exhibit No. 1026?

Mr. Rowley.

Yes, sir.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1026 for identification.)

Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence Commission Exhibit No. 1026.

The Chairman.

It may be admitted.
(The document heretofore marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 1026, was received in evidence.)

Mr. Rankin.

Do you have any additions or corrections you care to make in that exhibit?

Mr. Rowley.

No, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Chief Rowley, did you give us a report about protective activity subsequent to Dallas on behalf of the Secret Service?

Mr. Rowley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

I will hand you Commission Exhibit No. 1027 and ask you if that is the report that you have just referred to.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1027 for identification.)

Mr. Rowley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Chief Rowley, I ask you, are there any problems with regard to Commission Exhibit No. 1027 concerning security, and whether that should be that document should be made public? You just take your time if you want to glance over it.

Mr. Rowley.

No; as I read it, it is general enough, sir, that it can be included.
(At this point, Mr. Dulles entered the hearing room.)

Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence Commission Exhibit No. 1027.

The Chairman.

It may be admitted.
(The document heretofore marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 1027, was received in evidence.)
(At this point, Representative Boggs entered the hearing room.)

Mr. Rankin.

Are there any of the various answers that you give in the answers to the questions attached to Commission Exhibit No. 1027 that you care to elaborate on at this time?
I am not asking you or urging you to do it, because I assume that you answered them with care at the time. I just wanted to give you that opportunity.

Mr. Rowley.

No; not at this time.

Mr. Dulles.

May I ask a question there?
You consider that the criteria as now furnished by you to the FBI and other investigative agencies would cover a case like Oswald's?

Mr. Rowley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

You think they would?

Mr. Rowley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

You think they understand that?

Mr. Rowley.

Well, as we stated in the covering letter when we sent this out--we haven't gotten any reaction--we asked for their cooperation and suggestions in connection with such guidelines.

Mr. Dulles.

Defectors are not specifically covered. are they, by your criteria?

Mr. Rowley.

Well, they are given to us now. We are being furnished the names of defectors, and they are being investigated, so that their background and history will be furnished to us, and we will be in a position now to determine whether they represent a risk or not.

Mr. Rankin.

Chief Rowley----

Representative Boggs.

May I ask a question there?
Would you have any notion as to why names of defectors were not provided to you prior to November 22?

Mr. Rowley.

Yes; under the broad picture, Mr. Congressman, there was no
