Miss Waterman. I might say that in the meantime during the time from November 1959 up into 1960, beginning about early in February 1960, I was replaced in this section or branch by an attorney and a member of the bar, and at this time I was then the assistant of the section, and not the head of it.
Mr. Coleman. Well, was the attorney that replaced you G. W. Masterton?
Miss Waterman. Yes.
Mr. Coleman. I would like to ask you to identify Commission Exhibit No. 983.
Is that a copy of the sheet you referred to, to indicate the file had been called for?
Miss Waterman. That is right. A new report had been received and our control clerk, we call her, our person looking after the records in our particular section had made that call slip for the file.
Mr. Coleman. Is there anything else in the original file which you could look at to try to advise us whether you think in your judgment a lookout card was ever prepared?
Miss Waterman. Well, I wouldn't be able to know. All I could say is it is very surprising, because it seems to me that we had—well, I could not say how many lookout cards and refusal cards on all kinds of subjects. And I can only guess that this file was caught up in some large number of files that were on hand to have refusal cards or lookout cards made, or something of that nature, or that the process of having the card made was interrupted by the receipt of the new material from our Embassy at Moscow.
Mr. Coleman. But——
Mr. Dulles. Could I ask one question?
