Mr. Coleman. No, sir; he was in the hospital before he came into the Embassy.
Mr. Dulles. That is correct.
Mr. Coleman. His suicide attempt was before October 31.
Mr. McVickar. Now it says leaving the hotel, but it doesn't say—and I think that would be all the information that would have been available at the time that I wrote that, I think the implication was that he was going to leave town as well, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he wouldn't have spent the ensuing weeks in some other place in the city of Moscow.
Mr. Coleman. In the P.S. you also indicated that "he will be trained in electronics." Did you get that information from Miss Johnson?
Mr. McVickar. Well, yes; I think so, according to this.
Mr. Coleman. Did she say any more than just he would be trained in electronics? Did she say what type of training he would get?
Mr. McVickar. I am afraid I have no more memory than what is written here. In fact, I didn't even remember that I had written this memorandum until I saw it the other day.
Mr. Dulles. Is the language "he will be trained" or "he had been trained"?
Mr. McVickar. "He will be," that is what I wrote.
