Representative Ford. I think it would be helpful wherever you say, Mr. Chayes, there are cases, that the record show the citation of the cases.
Mr. Chayes. I think most of the cases that I am relying on are cited in the memorandum to which I am referring. But there may be others that I am recollecting. If I could have a chance to review the transcript, I will submit exact citations in each case.
Representative Ford. I think that would be very helpful. Otherwise I think the record is——
Mr. Chayes. Yes; I agree.
Representative Ford. Is not clear or not complete, and as far as I am concerned, and I think the Commission would agree, that you should review the transcript to supply those citations for those particular categories of cases.
Mr. Chayes. I will be very glad to do so, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Coleman. Now do you want to address yourself to section 349(a) (1)?
Mr. Chayes. Well (a) (1) is obtaining naturalization, and there just wasn't any indication, there wasn't any evidence at all that he had become a naturalized Soviet citizen.
We knew that he applied for naturalization, but even on the basis of his Soviet documents he had not been given Soviet citizenship.
Mr. Coleman. I take it your testimony is that after reviewing all of the files, your office has determined that Oswald committed no act which would justify the Department stating that he had expatriated himself.
