Mr. Pic. He showed us his card which stated dishonorable or bad conduct, something like that. I think it was dishonorable. He showed it to me.
Mr. Jenner. What was his—what impression did you have as to his overall attitude? What impression did you have as to his state of mind?
Mr. Pic. He impressed me that he was glad to be back, that he didn't really enjoy his stay in Russia. He commented about the hard life they had there.
Mr. Jenner. What did he say about that?
Mr. Pic. What did he say, sir?
Mr. Pic. A shortage of food, rationing of certain items, about eating a lot of cabbage. He did say that the U.S. Government gave him the money to come back on. He was in the process of paying them back. In fact, he let it be known that regardless of anything else he was going to pay the Government back.
Mr. Jenner. Did he say "regardless of anything else, I am going to pay them back"? On what do you base that conclusory statement?
Mr. Pic. Well, he made the statement they paid and he is paying them back, and he has got this job and he was telling me his financial situation, and saying so much money is going to pay the Government back.
Mr. Jenner. What did he say about his financial situation?
