Mr. Coleman. The accuracy of that statement?
Miss James. Because we, the Office of Soviet Union Affairs, try to get all offices in the Department to clear everything that is going to Moscow.
Mr. Coleman. After clearing the telegram, what was the next time that you had anything to do with the name Oswald, to the best of your knowledge?
Miss James. As I recall, we had a copy of the report that came in from the Embassy telling more in detail about his appearance at the Embassy, and I also read it in the Washington papers.
Mr. Coleman. Could we mark as James Exhibit No. 1, and I show you—a reference sheet from Bernice Waterman to EE:SOV, Virginia James, under date of November 25, 1959, and I ask you do you remember seeing that reference sheet?
(The document referred to was marked James Exhibit No. 1 for identification.)
Miss James. Yes; I remember seeing it in this form [pointing to document in the file].
Mr. Coleman. That [James Exhibit No. 1] is a photostatic copy?
Miss James. Yes; I mean the yellow [copy in the file] I recall.
Mr. Coleman. Do you know why you asked them to send you a copy of the telegram of November 2?
