TESTIMONY OF JOHN CARTER VINCENT, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS COUNSEL, WALTER STERLING SURREY, WASHINGTON, D. C., AND HOWARD REA, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Mr. SOURWINE. Mr. Vincent, at the conclusion of the hearing yesterday we were up to the period of about December 1942.

Mr. VINCENT. You mean in reading over my-yes, sir.

Mr. SOURWINE. To the extent that we were taking things chronologically we had about reached that point.

Mr. VINCENT. Yes.

Mr. SOURWINE. You may remember that during the afternoon session yesterday afternoon there was some questioning about your approval of a talk which was made by Mr. Service before the IPR or before a group of IPR people.

Mr. VINCENT. Yes; I remember that.

Mr. SOURWINE. Am I correct that it was your testimony that you remembered nothing about having authorized such a talk?

Mr. VINCENT. Yes; I had no recollection of that, sir.

Mr. SOURWINE. Mr. Chairman, this is the State Department employee loyalty investigation hearings before a subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate of the Eighty-first Congress, second session, part 2, appendix. On page 2234 appears the text of a document which was apparently entitled "Personal Statement of John S. Service-Part 2." I read this paragraph, Mr. Vincent, and ask if it refreshes your memory in that regard.

Shortly after my arrival
