Mr. Coleman. I take it you actually read the instructions which went forward on April 13, 1961.
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir. My initials are at the bottom.
Mr. Coleman. The fact that your initials are at the bottom indicates that you approved them?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. What was the next occasion on which you had anything to do with the Oswald file or heard the name Oswald?
Mr. Seeley. I will have to check the file. The next occasion where the record shows that I had something to do with the Oswald file concerns Item X-31. It is a Department of State instruction, W-7, dated July 11, 1961, drafted by Mrs. Waterman, and I cleared this particular instruction.
Mr. Coleman. Can we note for the record that that instruction has already been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 975?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. You cleared those instructions prior to the time you received word from Mr. Snyder in the Embassy in Moscow that Oswald had appeared at the Embassy on July 8, 10, or 11?
Mr. Seeley. Of 1961?
