Mr. Belin. Anything else about Russia? Did he ever say anything about going to Mexico? Was that ever covered?

Mr. Holmes. Yes. To the extent that mostly about—well—he didn't spend, "Where did you get the money?" He didn't have much money and he said it didn't cost much money. He did say that where he stayed it cost $26 some odd, small ridiculous amount to eat, and another ridiculous small amount to stay all night, and that he went to the Mexican Embassy to try to get this permission to go to Russia by Cuba, but most of the talks that he wanted to talk about was how he got by with a little amount.

They said, "Well, who furnished you the money to go to Mexico?"

"Well, it didn't take much money." And it was along that angle, was the conversation.

Mr. Belin. Did he admit that he went to Mexico?

Mr. Holmes. Oh, yes.

Mr. Belin. Did he say what community in Mexico he went to?

Mr. Holmes. Mexico City.

Mr. Belin. Did he say what he did while he was there?

Mr. Holmes. He went to the Mexican consulate, I guess.
