Evaluation of Secret Service Performance in Dealey Plaza

The Treasury Department reviewed the performance of the Secret Service agents assigned to the motorcade in Dallas and omitted an importance piece of evidence. This evidence was the recording of Secret Service radio communications. In fact the authorities behaved as if the SS radio network operated illegally by failing to maintain logs of their radio traffic. So in the extraordinary event of not having an automatic recording system in place then a written log of transmissions was required by law.
Both records are missing and nobody in Washington blinked an eye.
Special agent Lawson confirmed that the WHCA had records of the Secret Service radio network traffic.

Mr. McClOY. Did you see anybody in the School Book Depository?
Mr. McClOY. Did you see anybody in the School Book Depository?
Mr. LAWSON. No, sir; at this point just as we started around that corner I asked Chief Curry if it was not true that we were probably 5 minutes from the Trade Mart, and it is quite usual to make a radio call to your next point of stop that you are 5 minutes away. Therefore right about the time we turned that corner and were a little ways past it, I am sure I was speaking on the radio, because the White House Communications Agency has about the time I gave the 5 minutes away warning signal, and within seconds after that the shots were fired.
