Mr. Chayes. She is a passport adjudicator.
Mr. Coleman. Now, were have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 929 an Operations Memorandum from the Department of State to the Embassy in Moscow, dated March 28, 1960, which stated that:
"An appropriate notice had been placed in the Lookout Card Section of the Passport Office in the event that Mr. Oswald should apply for documentation at a point outside the Soviet Union."
I would like to show you this Commission exhibit and ask you are you familiar with that memorandum?
Mr. Chayes. I have seen this, but only since the assassination in my general review of the files.
Mr. Coleman. Now, has your office made a check to determine whether a lookout card was prepared?
Mr. Chayes. Yes; Mr. Coleman. In connection with the preparation of this memorandum, and the responses to the supplemental questions for the Commission, we did examine the question of whether a lookout card was prepared. I should say again that the matter of preparation of lookout cards is not under my jurisdiction, and my knowledge of this is only from a subsequent investigation.
Mr. Coleman. Your examination revealed that a lookout card actually was never prepared, is that correct?
Mr. Chayes. I think we have to say that our examination does not reveal that a lookout card was prepared, and that on balance examining all the relevant considerations, it appears more likely than not that no lookout card was prepared.
Representative Ford. But there was none in the file.
