Miss Waterman. Right.
Mr. Coleman. And you had no part in connection with the drafting of that memorandum?
Miss Waterman. No, no; our branch had sent the case to our Division Chief, either to comment or authorize the mailing of the instruction which I had prepared.
Mr. Coleman. And then after this memorandum of March 31, 1961, was drafted, a decision was finally reached in the Department as to the form of the State Department instruction which is in your file as X-38?
Miss Waterman. Yes.
Mr. Coleman. And we have marked it as Commission Exhibit No. 971.
Miss Waterman. Yes
Mr. Coleman. And that is the instruction that was actually sent to the Embassy?
Miss Waterman. Sent to the Embassy; yes. That was a replacement of the instruction which I had originally drafted, and I redrafted that according to the dictates of the memorandums which had been exchanged with our office and Miss Knight's office.
Representative Ford. May I ask a question here, Mr. Coleman?
