Mr. Coleman. Are you presently employed by the Federal Government?

Miss James. I am employed by the Department of State in the Office of Soviet Union Affairs.

Mr. Coleman. What is your official title?

Miss James. International Relations Officer.

Mr. Coleman. Did you occupy that position from 1959 through to date?

Miss James. I did; and do still.

Mr. Coleman. I have shown you, and I take it you are generally familiar with, the resolution of Congress which was adopted by Congress in connection with this Commission.

Miss James. Yes.

Mr. Coleman. To the best of your present knowledge, Miss James, could you tell me the first time you heard the name Oswald?

Miss James. When I read a copy of the telegram from the American Embassy at Moscow, dated, as I recall, October 30, 1959, saying that Oswald had called at the Embassy and had attempted to renounce his American citizenship.
