Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Now, when you got the telegram on your desk, did you also get the file with it?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir; the passport file.
Mr. Coleman. That came to you at the same time, or did you get the telegram and then send for the file?
Mr. Seeley. I had the whole thing. I am morally certain on this, that I had the whole file. I can tell by the reconstruction on this. Mr. Ritchie and myself have discussed this. We are both sure how this went about.
Do you want me to give this reconstruction?
Mr. Coleman. You can, if you wish to; yes.
Mr. Seeley. I notice that there was a little note. "Mr. Anderson pull previous." "Previous" means to pull the file, whatever file there is. This was on October 17. The file was pulled according to our records in our office on October 17 or 18, I forget the exact date. It was within a day or so thereafter this. And I presume that this was first reviewed by Mr. Ritchie and then reviewed by myself.
Mr. Coleman. When you pulled the file which is the State Department file X——
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
