# JAMES J. ROWLEY, CHIEF, SECRET SERVICEJUNE 18, 1964Mr. 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.

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

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.

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 anwered them with care at the time. I just wanted to give you that opportunity.Mr. ROWLEY. No; not at this time.Mr. DULLES.

You think they would?Mr. ROWLEY. Yes, sir.Mr. DULLES. You think they understand that?Mr. ROWLEY.

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.
