Mr. Coleman. How long did you remain in Moscow?
Mr. McVickar. I was there from June of 1959, until September of 1961.
Mr. Coleman. I take it you have been shown a copy of the Congressional resolution with respect to the formation of this Committee?
Mr. McVickar. I am not sure but I think so. With respect to this Commission?
Mr. Coleman. Yes.
Mr. McVickar. Do you want me to read it now?
Mr. Coleman. No, just generally have it available.
Directing your attention to the fall of 1959, did you have occasion to see or to talk to Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. McVickar. I had occasion to see him and to talk briefly to him. I was present in the office at the time he was interviewed by Mr. Snyder. We had an office about the size of this room with two desks in it, and Mr. Snyder's desk was at one end and mine was at the other, and we did our business in effect in the same room separately, but this was an unusual case, and I recall the man coming in and I recall parts of the conversation.
Mr. Coleman. Was the day he came in October 31, 1959?
