Senator Cooper. Was there anything in the files from the FBI or any other security agency which would give you that information?
Miss Knight. None that I saw; no, sir. I do know that there were two recent intelligence reports from the FBI, and they were dated October 31, 1963, and October 25, 1963, and these were logged into the Passport Office on November 20, 1963, and on November 22, 1963, respectively.
Senator Cooper. They were then, of course, would have been, received in the office after the time.
Miss Knight. That was the date of the assassination.
Senator Cooper. After the time that the passport had been renewed.
Mr. Coleman. That included the information that he was active in the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
Miss Knight. That is correct, and these were referred to us by the Office of Security, and then on 5:30 a.m. on November 23, 1963, these reports were called for on an urgent basis by the Administrator of the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs and we delivered them to him at approximately 7:30 that morning.
I never saw these reports and no one in the Passport Office had an opportunity to read them or see them.
Senator Cooper. The point I am making is, am I correct or are you correct, when you say at the time Oswald's passport was either issued or renewed to make the trip to Mexico City, that there was no evidence in his files of any kind which would indicate that he was a member of a Communist organization?
Miss Knight. No, sir; there was nothing in the file.
