Miss Waterman. I do.
Mr. Dulles. Would you please advise Miss Waterman of the general purpose of the testimony we will ask of her.
Mr. Coleman. Miss Waterman was with the Department of State until 1962, at which time she retired. Miss Waterman was the adjudicator in the Oswald case, and she is being called to testify with respect to certain memorandums and actions she took in connection with Lee Harvey Oswald. These actions dealt with the question whether he had expatriated himself, and whether a passport should be reissued to him in 1961. And also she has some information concerning the waiver for Marina under 243(g).
Mr. Dulles. Miss Waterman, I wonder if you would just give us a brief outline of your experience with the State Department.
Miss Waterman. Well, I entered the Passport Office in March of 1926, and I was there until I retired in February 1962, and during that time I progressed from the position of typist to working on citizenship cases, and became an adjudicator.
Mr. Dulles. Can you hear?
Miss Waterman. Then I became in charge of a section adjudicating citizenship cases from certain places. I continued in citizenship work until I retired.
Mr. Dulles. Would you proceed, Mr. Coleman.
Mr. Coleman. Miss Waterman, I have had marked 25 documents beginning with Commission Exhibit No. 957 and going through Commission Exhibit No. 982, and just before you came in, I showed you a set of those files. Have you had opportunity to review those files?
Miss Waterman. Yes; I did look over the State Department file. I don't mean State Department files, I mean Passport Office files on Oswald.
