Mr. Snyder. I don't know offhand whether Marina Oswald got her visa, her exit visa, that quickly and easily.
Mr. Dulles. Well, I think that is a matter of record—when she applied and when she got it.
Mr. Coleman. The American visa——
Mr. Dulles. This is the Soviet exit visa.
Mr. Coleman. You are talking about the Soviet passport? She applied for her passport——
Mr. Dulles. It is a visa to get out.
Mr. Snyder. It is both. She needs a Soviet passport. They are issued at the same time.
Mr. Dulles. That is correct.
Mr. Coleman. She applied for her Soviet passport in July 1961, and she was informed that it would be issued to her approximately on December 25, 1961.
Mr. Dulles. About 6 months. Do you know of any case where that has been accomplished in 6 months, other than this case, during your period there? I don't think I ought to ask you about any period other than the period you were in the Soviet Union.
