Mr. Fain. This information there was furnished by the Office of Naval Intelligence. I didn't check the records on that. That came in by communication. Does that answer the question, Mr. Ford?
Representative Ford. What I was inquiring about was did you have this information available to you at the time you interviewed him on July 13 or 14——
Mr. Stern. June 26.
Representative Ford. June 26?
Mr. Fain. June 26; yes, sir. I am sure I did, because that is on March 20. I read they had sent it.
Representative Ford. In other words, you undoubtedly had——
Mr. Fain. I had access to anything in our files there pertaining to this case.
Representative Ford. You had information. For example, you were familiar with the statement in a report that, and I quote, "Subject allegedly told the embassy he had advised unnamed Soviet officials that as a former Marine radar operator he would make available to them information about his Marine Corps specialty when he became a Soviet citizen."
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir; that was an allegation that was made over there. As I recall that was obtained in a check at the embassy, United States Embassy.
