Miss Knight. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. I have just one more thing I want to inquire about.
Are you familiar with the—were you the Chief of the Passport Division at the time Oswald returned from Russia to the United States?
Miss Knight. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. Who was empowered to issue passports in Moscow to Oswald?
Miss Knight. Well, it was the consul, but he would not issue a passport or, in this particular case even limit the passport for return to the United States, without clearance from our office.
Senator Cooper. Then when Oswald made his application to return to the United States and to secure a passport to return to the United States, that application had to be cleared by the division, your division, in Washington?
Miss Knight. Yes.
Senator Cooper. Did you make the determination as to whether the passport should be issued to him?
Miss Knight. I personally did not. This was made by experienced citizenship lawyers.
