Mr. Ritchie. No; I knew nothing about it. It had been placed on my desk for review. I read the telegram, noted that copies had been sent to SCA, that is the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs, CMA, Mexico, the Soviet desk, and the press section of RAR.
Mr. Seeley. American Republics Political Division.
Mr. Coleman. Then what did you do after you got the telegram?
Mr. Ritchie. I reviewed the entire file.
Mr. Coleman. That means you read every document in the file?
Mr. Ritchie. Yes.
Mr. Coleman. And do you have any idea how long it took you?
Mr. Ritchie. Not more than a half hour.
Mr. Coleman. And then what did you do after you read or reviewed the file?
Mr. Ritchie. I don't want to say I read every item. I read the majority.
