Mr. Snyder. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Had you ever seen him before?
Mr. Snyder. No, sir.
(At this point, Representative Ford entered the hearing room.)
Mr. Coleman. Had you ever heard about him before?
Mr. Snyder. No.
Mr. Coleman. Could you state for the Commission just what happened when you saw Mr. Oswald on October 31. 1959, indicating the time of day, what he said, and what you did?
The Chairman. Before you answer that question, may I say that this is Congressman Ford, a member of the Commission.
This is Mr. Snyder of the State Department now stationed in Tokyo, and who was stationed at the Embassy in Moscow when Oswald attempted to defect.
Representative Ford. Thank you.
