Mr. Stenhouse. Yes.

The chief of my division gave me a very fine recommendation. A colleague who was in the China legal section gave me a very fine recommendation.

Mr. Velde. Did either Mr. Carter or the chief of your division know that you were a member of the Communist Party?

Mr. Stenhouse. No; they did not.

Mr. Velde. What type of formal application did you make for the position you sought and afterward obtained in the United Nations?

Mr. Stenhouse. I don’t recall now any formal application. I have in my files a letter of appointment, but I don’t recall a formal application.

Mr. Velde. Proceed, Mr. Counsel.

Mr. Tavenner. After accepting the position with the United Nations, were you sent on a project to China?

Mr. Stenhouse. Yes, sir.

Mr. Tavenner. Before your selection for that project, were you interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation?
