Mr. Snyder. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Calling your attention to the date of October 31——
Mr. Dulles. Could I ask one question, Mr. Coleman, about that? What previous posts had you had before going to Moscow?
Mr. Snyder. Well, my first post in the Foreign Service——
Mr. Dulles. I am interested as an old Foreign Service officer.
Mr. Snyder. I see. I served for a brief time in HICOG in Frankfurt, Germany and then for about 2 years in Munich, in the consulate general, which was my first post in the Foreign Service.
My second post, I spent 1 year in the boondocks of Japan, in Niigata, on the Sea of Japan, in a one-man cultural center.
Mr. Dulles. As a Foreign Service officer?
Mr. Snyder. As a Foreign Service officer; yes, sir. I was assigned to this duty at a time when USIS was still part of the State Department, and when I reached my post it had already been separated, so I was on loan to them. And then a year and a half in Tokyo. Then a summer and an academic year at Harvard, in Russian area studies.
Mr. Dulles. In what school there?
