Mrs. Bates. The Russians.
Mr. Jenner. Uh-huh.
Mrs. Bates. He wouldn't leave—his visa was out but he wouldn't leave until they let her go.
Mr. Jenner. Uh-huh.
Did he express orally to you any views or opinions respecting the Government of the United States?
Mrs. Bates. Never.
Mr. Jenner. Did you gather anything with respect to his attitude toward the United States?
Mrs. Bates. No; I've thought and thought—and, of course, I've been asked questions all along. And he didn't discuss anything. If you got 10 words out of him at a time, you were doing good. He just didn't talk—except explaining those notes and, at times, he would go into detail on them. Conversations—he had actual conversations that he had had with different people over there.
Mr. Jenner. Oh, he had?
Mrs. Bates. If you could find those notes, I tell you—they were fascinating to read. "Inside Russia"—was what it was. And they were coherent and they were well written. And he had them all in sequence. I mean, they weren't just haphazard. He had them all in sequence according to city and dates and things like that.
