Many persons other than those who were actually subpenaed to 
testify, were contacted and interviewed during the course of the sub- 
committee’s inquiry. Moreover, many documents and exhibits were 
received from various sources which have become a part of the official 
files of the subcommittee but which do not appear in the official tran- 
script of the hearings. Such information and documentation will be 
incorporated into this report whenever applicable and relevant. 
As the chairman pointed out in his concluding remarks on the last 
day of the hearing, the reluctance to mention the 28 men who lost 
their lives in this “tragic occurrence was not because of lack of con- 
cern, interest, or appreciation for the sacrifice that they made nor 
because of lack of sympathy for their relatives and loved ones. So, 
too, in this report the recognition which they so rightly deserve is 
expressed at the outset by the committee, the Congress, and the coun- 
try for the service and sacrifice which they made. We bow in appre- 
ciation of their service and respect to their memory as they were in- 
deed patriots in every sense of the word. They deserve the same rec- 
ognition and tribute of the country as do those persons who have 
similarly sacrificed their lives on the battlefields of war in preserva- 
tion of our liberties and freedom and way of life.
