Mr. Coleman. Did you say anything to him, like for example, "This guy the last time he was abroad tried to, or at least threatened that he would give to the Soviets whatever he had learned in the Marine Corps with reference to our radar information"?
Mr. Ritchie. I have no recollection of my conversation with Mr. Seeley. All I know is my usual procedure is I review a case. If there is no passport action to be taken, I place it, mark it "file" and place it in the box to go to file.
Mr. Coleman. Without Mr. Seeley taking a look at it?
Mr. Ritchie. Without Mr. Seeley ever seeing it.
Mr. Coleman. And this one you felt——
Mr. Ritchie. And this one I felt he should see.
Mr. Coleman. But you didn't give him any memorandum——
Mr. Ritchie. No, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Or point out what he should look at?
Mr. Ritchie. I may have directed his attention to the case, but I have no independent recollection of it.
