Mr. Coleman. You treat with the question of whether a lookout card was in the State Department file on Oswald in 1961.
Mr. Chayes. Yes, sir; I think it is covered in the answers to questions 12 and 13. In particular the answer to question 13 shows the evaluation on which we reached the conclusion that it is probable that a lookout card was not prepared.
Mr. Coleman. Was there any other occasion as a result of acts by Oswald that you felt that a lookout card should have been prepared?
Mr. Chayes. Yes.
Mr. Coleman. What were those?
Mr. Chayes. Under the procedures of the Department, once Oswald was given a repatriation loan, as he was on his return to this country in, what was it, May of 1962, a lookout card should have been prepared and should have been maintained in the lookout file during the period when there was an unpaid balance on his repatriation loan, and in that case it appears pretty certainly that no card was prepared. We don't even have in that case a refusal slip indicating a direction to prepare a card.
Mr. Dulles. Can you refuse issuance of a passport when there is an unpaid balance due?
Mr. Chayes. I don't know what the courts would say, but a person who accepts a repatriation loan now signs an agreement that he will not apply for a passport until he has paid the loan.
At the time that Oswald got his loan, the form was a little different, but even then he signed a statement saying that he understood that passport facilities would not be furnished to him while an outstanding balance was——
Representative Ford. Could we have in the record the form that was in existence before and that which is now the form?
