Mr. Ofstein. The only thing he mentioned along that line was the military headquarters and to the best of my recollection, it was a secret police.
Mr. Jenner. You mentioned in the—is that what you mean by the secret police, the NVD?
Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And, that they had a headquarters there in Minsk?
Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Did he make any comment about the MVD?
Mr. Ofstein. Only that they had inquired about him several times and that they didn't follow him around. He said they were somewhat like our own Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Jenner. Did he ever make any comparison that was, you thought, an attempt at being invidious with respect to the FBI as against the MVD?
Mr. Ofstein. No, sir; he just said that their operations were somewhat similar in checking out people they wanted to check on.
Mr. Jenner. Other than that, did he ever say anything about the FBI?
