Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Did he say anything about being a Marxist?
Mr. Ofstein. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Was the subject ever mentioned?
Mr. Ofstein. No.
Mr. Jenner. You mentioned the secret police, did any conversation ever occur with respect to any contact of his with, or any contact by, the secret police with him?
Mr. Ofstein. He said that they talked to him once or twice while he was there and that was all, but that mainly it was just like the FBI would be running a check on someone here—they would speak with people who knew them or who were located around them.
Mr. Jenner. Was there anything ever discussed during the period he was employed about any particular problems of his in Russia, first, let me say this—any attempt on his part to defect from the United States and become a Russian citizen?
Mr. Ofstein. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Any illnesses on his part?
