Mr. HAYS. And I think the record should show at this point, since this may be an appendix, that the letter from the manager, Mr. Robert Bennett, credit manager, indicates that Mr. LaPlace checked into the Sheraton Wilshire Hotel on January 18 and checked out on January 25, 1966.

By Mr. O'Connor:

Q. Do you have any other?

A. Yes, sir. I would also like to submit-after talking to you, sir, I communicated with United Air Lines and Trans World Airlines in an effort to confirm my departure from Los Angeles on the 25th; a copy of a telegram that I sent to this is to TWA and I requested a copy be sent to me.

Here is a wire from a supervisor in the revenue accounting office, United Air Lines, confirming the ticket issued to me by United Air Lines. And also a letter from supervisor of passenger records of Trans World Airlines, sir.

Mr. O'CONNOR. May the record show that the witness has submitted three documents, one a telegram dated December 14, confirmation copy from the witness to the supervisor of passenger records, Trans World Airlines, requesting a copy of his ticket on flight 62 from Los Angeles, Calif., to Baltimore Friendship Airport on January 25, 1966.

The second document is a telegram, Western Union telegram, reading as follows. Addressed to the witness:

Los Angeles-Washington, D.C. portion ticket 016-253-745456, billed UALWhich is United Air Lines

by TWA ticket indicates TWA flight 62 of 1-25–66. And signed:

Hudson, Revenue Accounting, United Air Lines.

The third document referred to by the witness is a letter dated December 15, 1966, from D. G. Roper, supervisor, passenger records, TWA, reading as follows:

According to our records, Flight Coupon No. 26 United Airlines Ticket 016253745456 was used on TWA Flight 62, January 25, 1966.

Mr. HAYS. Let the record show that it is E. G. Cooper, not "Roper.'

[ocr errors]

The WITNESS. I have one other document I would like to submit, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. O'CONNOR. At the time the audit was performed, the indications were Mr. LaPlace had returned to Washington, D.C., January 21, along with investigators Schwartz and Buckley. Subsequent investigation by the committee failed to establish the travel ticket for Mr. LaPlace on January 21 and this subsequent record, and after my interview with him, it was indicated strongly that he did return on January 26.

Do you have an additional

The WITNESS. I have my passenger coupon for the flight, sir. Mr. O'CONNOR. I think it would be well to enter that in the record also.

The WITNESS. Also indicating a cash outlay by me of $14.18, that United Air Lines took the original ticket issued January 11 and exchanged that for another ticket for my return, to reroute me to Los Angeles and back to Washington.

By Mr. O'CONNOR:

Q. You mean after you were ordered back to Los Angeles from San Francisco you had to make an outlay of personal funds in that

amount?

A. Yes. You will see it on the voucher, sir.

Mr. O'CONNOR. Without objection, Mr. Chairman, I'd like for these four documents to be stapled together so that they will not become detached and entered as LaPlace exhibit 3.
