Mr. Snyder. I really don't know.

Mr. Slawson. Do you believe that if you had given Mr. Oswald the opportunity to carry through with the procedures, that he would have renounced his citizenship at that first appearance?

Mr. Snyder. Yes; I have every reason to believe he would have.

Mr. Coleman. Sir, I also would like to show you a copy of a passport issued by the United States, which has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 946, and ask you whether that is the passport that Mr. Oswald gave to you when he came into the Embassy on October 31, 1959.

Mr. Dulles. May I ask a preliminary question about Exhibit No. 913?

This is undated. Do we know the date of the receipt of this by the Embassy?

Mr. Coleman. Yes, Mr. Dulles; the testimony is that when Mr. Oswald came into the Embassy, sir, he handed this document to Mr. Snyder.

Mr. Dulles. That is the first time he came in, he handed this document to you?

Mr. Snyder. Yes, sir.

This is undoubtedly his passport; yes, sir.
