Asked about other leaks, Lawson said the President's message was always known in advance in Wall Street. When these documents are given in the document, he said, "some people who then pass them about the street two or three days in advance." Another sort of leak, he said, was when somebody went into the street to "pedalize advance information regarding important government affairs. The latter might be confidential clerks, or others who might set the information in its physical preparation. Another sort of leak, he continued, "is when some executive officer of the government, some Cabinet officials, members of the Senate or House, may be interested in stocks or bonds, as certain information that will affect the market, passes the information on to his friends." Representative Campbell again pressed Law on names in connection with a "leak," but none. "I have been told," said Lawson, "and by a member of Congress, that a member of the Cabinet speculated on this market." Who told the president and what, the member of the Cabinet asked, "Is it not the President's business?" The President replied, "I am not going to the White House."  Law -on determinedly.
The presentative Campbell declared that the committee had the power to answer.
"When I say that the name was given to me in confidence on honor, not to be repeated, do so still insist upon an answer." Lawson asked.
