Mr. Coleman. Did you ever make such an inquiry of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?

Mr. Snyder. No, I think I did not.

Mr. Coleman. Do you know just when that Department instruction reached the Embassy in Moscow?

Mr. Snyder. The date should be stamped on the document.

Mr. Coleman. Well, on the copy we have, sir, there is no date. I take it you have no independent recollection?

Mr. Snyder. No; it should have been within a week, though.

Mr. Coleman. I take it, though, you would say that Commission Exhibit No. 930 went by diplomatic pouch.

Mr. Snyder. Yes, sir.

Mr. Coleman. This didn't go by cable?

Mr. Snyder. No, that is not a telegraphic form.
