Representative Ford. Was Oswald familiar with that, as you could tell from your conversation with him?
Mr. Snyder. Well, he obviously was familiar with what one does. That is, he had made application to the Supreme Soviet, which is what one does.
Representative Ford. Did he tell you that?
Mr. Snyder. Oh, yes.
Representative Ford. He did?
Mr. Snyder. Yes, sir; this is not something which is common knowledge. One would have to have inquired and found out, and had someone show you or give you the proper form on which to make application, and tell you where to address it, and this sort of thing.
Representative Ford. What did he tell you had happened when he did that?
Mr. Snyder. All he said was that he had made application.
Representative Ford. He didn't indicate the application had been processed and approved?
Mr. Snyder. No; I cannot recall what our conversation was on that score. It was quite clear that he had not received Soviet citizenship.
