Mr. Dulles. Who was going abroad again?
Mr. Chayes. No; not unless the FBI and the CIA had asked us to notify them. However, what we might have done would be to use FBI facilities to make a further investigation of the situation. That is possible.
Mr. Coleman. Mr. Chayes informed us prior to the commencement of his testimony that he would have to leave at 4 p.m., but would return tomorrow morning to complete it. He will now be excused. Thank you, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Thank you very much.
TESTIMONY OF JOHN A. McVICKAR RESUMED
Mr. Coleman. Do you recall, Mr. McVickar, we were trying to determine whether Mrs. Oswald came into the Embassy in July or in August 1961, and you said that if you had an opportunity to look at the State Department file that you might find something which would aid you in recollecting.
Have you had such opportunity.
Mr. McVickar. Yes; I have. I observe two items in here. There is a despatch prepared by Mr. Snyder which says that Mrs. Oswald was expected to come in very shortly. This despatch was prepared I believe on the same day that Mr. Oswald was in the office.
Mr. Coleman. Is that despatch dated July 11, 1961?
Mr. McVickar. Yes.
