Mr. Chayes. If you look at the Schwartz memorandum, it says that the Oswald case highlights the necessity of maintaining up-to-date lookout cards in the files of the Passport Office, "for persons who may have defected to Communist countries or areas or redefected. Subsequent to the Oswald incident, I requested the Department of Defense to furnish this office with identifying information on military personnel in this category. Information with respect to these military personnel has now been received from all three services and copies are attached.
"On the basis of the attached information, please bring up to date the lookout cards of the Passport Office."
And then it simply lists the names of the people that came over from the military.
Mr. Coleman. Mr. Chayes, is the document we have marked Exhibit No. 951, the standard operating notice as of February 28, 1962?
Mr. Chayes. Yes.
Mr. Coleman. In the attachment in category K you have "Known or suspected Communists or subversives" as a category on which there should be a lookout card.
Mr. Chayes. Yes.
Mr. Coleman. Wouldn't Mr. Oswald have fallen in that category, based upon the passport file?
Mr. Chayes. I don't think so. There is nothing to indicate that he had ever been a member of the Communist Party. Maybe you would have regarded his Fair Play for Cuba activities as falling within the notion subversive. I have to say that I think K dates from an earlier period before the Kent Case, in which we were denying passports very broadly to a category of people who might be called subversive. Rockwell Kent himself, Brehl, the other defendant, people as to whom there was no real membership information, but who had generally, what had been thought of as having subversive views or connections.
With the Kent and Brehl cases, it may well have been that that category fell into some desuetude. I think it is worth inquiring of Miss Knight whether that category was maintained after the Kent case, or whether we simply took those out.
