Collier, assistant Senate counsel in the hearings, testified on the basis of a two-hour talk with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover that the document was not a copy of any letter in FBI files.

"Accurate Summary" But McCarthy asserted that the document was an "accurate summary" of an FBI report, and demanded that the investigators ask Hoover to verify this. Collier agreed that the three-page document produced by McCarthy appeared to be a summary of a 15-page FBI report delivered to the Army in 1951 and warning of security risks at Ft. Monmouth. Dispute over the purported letter from Hoover dominated proceedings at the 19th session of the Senate Investigating Subcommittee's marathon hearing on the Army's charge that McCarthy sought special favors for his drafted aide, Pvt.
