Mr. Snyder. Well, this doesn't show the date of receipt, but it was sent on February 1, and was received within a week of that time.
Representative Ford. And according to the records, the letter written by Oswald on February 5, 1961, which was received—was received February 13, 1961.
Mr. Snyder. Yes.
Representative Ford. And this document, Commission Exhibit No. 933, shows a reply was given February 28, is that correct?
Mr. Snyder. I think that is correct, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Does that mean it took 8 days to go from Minsk to Moscow?
Mr. Snyder. Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Isn't that an unusually long time?
Mr. Snyder. Well, not too much of that time is transit time.
Mr. Dulles. That is what I was getting at.
