Mr. Dulles. He did? He went by plane?
Mr. McVickar. I didn't realize that. But he flew from London to Helsinki and then entered the Soviet Union from Helsinki.
Mr. Coleman. By rail?
Mr. McVickar. By rail.
Representative Ford. What is so unusual and relatively uncomplicated about Helsinki as a point of entry?
Mr. McVickar. Well, I was thinking of this in the terms of a person who didn't know the situation and wasn't very familiar with it, and I think that it might be more logical to try to fly into the Soviet Union from Copenhagen or directly from London.
It might be more logical for some people to take the train into the Soviet Union through Warsaw.
Mr. Dulles. Where did he get his visa?
Mr. McVickar. He got his visa in Helsinki.
Mr. Dulles. That is it then. I think that is the answer to the thing. It is much easier to get a visa right there than go through the mill of a great place like London or Paris or any of the other places.
