Didn't Get Doto
From HooYet's Office

Didn't Get Data
From Hoover's Office
Mr.. Jenkins-Is that the end
of your answer, Senator?
Senator McCarthy-That is
the end of the answer.
Mr.. JenkinS-Then do we
understand, Senator McCar-
thy, that you did not get the
two-and-a-quarter-p page docu-
ment from the Federal Bureau
of Investigation?
Senator Mccarthy did
not, sir.
Mr.. Jenkins am not go
ing to ask you. and / did not
intend to ask you the name
of the individual who gave you
that document.
Senator Mccarthy thank
you.
Mr.. Jenkins-But, as I do
understand it, Senator Nc
Carthy, and we are trying to
pursue this question to its log
ical end so that the committee
may know all of the facts,
that two-and-a-quarter-page
document was delivered to you
by some one from the Army?
Senator McCarthy-YeS. I
can go a step further, Mr..
Jenkins.
Mr.. Jenkins-And perhaps
in the intelligence depart
ment? Can you go that far?
Senator McCarthy-An Of
f1cer in the intelligence de-
partment.
Mr.. JenkinS-Very well.
Senator, when was that let
ter, that two-and-a-quarter-
page document, delivered to
you?
Senator Mccarthy - Mr..
Jenkins, I would have diff
Guilty giving you an exact date,
but it was early last spring,
roughly a year ago. Counsel
says he thinks May or June.
and Mr.. Carr says he thinks
also, perhaps, in June. I think
it was earlier. I think we had
it before Mr.. Carr came with
us. Is that not right, Frank?
Mr.. Jenkins-When it was
delivered to you last spring.
approximately a year ago,
which would be in early May.
1853, were you then advised,
Senator, that it was not q
copy of an-an exact copy-of
the 15-page document in the
files of the intelligence de-
partment, but a condensation
of it, as we would call it? That
is, what information did you
receive at that time with re-
spect to this two-and-a-quar-
ter-page document in relation
to a 15-page document, if you
had any such information?
Senator Mccarthy - May I
say, Mr.. Jenkins, as I recall.
1 discussed with the officer
who delivered this the fact
that the document itself shows
that there has been deleted
security information. That will
appear on page two
Mr.. Jenkins~-I will ask.you-
this to shorten and clarity it.
At the time the two-and-a-
quarter-page document was
delivered to you by an officer
in the intelligence department
Of the Army, state whether or
not you were advised by him
that the information he gave
you in the two-and-a quarter
page document was taken from
a 15-page document
Senator Mccarthy No, I
was not.
Mr.. Jenkins-All right. What
information did he give you
with respect to the two-and-a-
quarter-page document.
Senator M Mr..
Jenkins, to the best of my
knowledge. and keep in mind
that I talk to a vast number
of people each day. to the best
of my knowledge, and I can't
quote him verbatim. I got the
impression that this was the
document that was circulated
as a result of an FBI report,
because it is obvious on the
face of it that there has been
deleted security information.
That may be an incorrect i'm
preston. Do you follow me on
that, sir? In other words, if the
FBI reports to the head of G-2
on some 80 individuals as they
did here. the normal thing
would be that CO would, I as
sumo, either send a complete
copy or a summary of this to
be put into the files of each
individual concerned. AS I say,
it is obvious that the security
information has been deleted.
Beyond that, it has been testi-
fed it is complete, word-tor-
word, verbatim transcript Of
the FBI report. I was very
happy to learn that this morn
ing. I knew it would be the
same material, and I am very
happy to learn it is word for
word, verbatim.
Learned of Longer Paper
On Previous Night
Mr.. jenkins: When did you
learn of the existence of the
15-page document testified to
by Mr.. Collier?
Senator McCarthy:s About
1870 last night. Mr.. Cohn
called me and told me he had
heard that this was merely
a summary of a document,
that I think he said was IL
