Representative Ford. Do you come to that conclusion based on the total content of the July 11, 1961, memo from the Embassy in Moscow, or something specifically set forth in that memorandum?
Miss Waterman. Well, I think all of the material together. In other words, Oswald was not documented as a Soviet citizen. Apparently he didn't expect to be. The Embassy had questioned him. And, in addition to their knowing that during his visits to the Embassy itself he had not expatriated himself, they received no information from him in what questioning they could do that he had performed any act at all to expatriate himself under U.S. laws.
Representative Ford. Mr. Coleman, do you have that paper we had yesterday, where the cross-out was present?
Mr. Coleman. Yes, sir; here it is.
Representative Ford. On Commission Exhibit No. 938, Oswald crossed out "have not"——
Mr. Dulles. What is the date of that, Mr. Ford?
Representative Ford. It is dated——
Mr. Coleman. July 11, 1961, and it is Oswald's application for renewal of passport.
Mr. Dulles. I remember the paper. That is subsequent to this document here that we are discussing now.
Mr. Coleman. Done at the same time. The State Department document shows—I mean the Embassy document shows that one of the covering material sent to the State Department was the application for renewal of passport executed by Oswald July 10, 1961.
