Mr. Coleman. Did you know that he had defected or attempted to defect in 1959?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Did you know that when he attempted to defect that he had indicated that he was going to pass some radar information to the Russians if they gave him citizenship?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Did you know that the Soviet desk had indicated in 1961 or 1962 that it would be to the interests of the United States to get him out of Russia and back to the United States?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Coleman. Did you note in his passport application for his 1963 passport that he indicated that one of the countries that he intended to travel to was Russia?
Mr. Seeley. I don't have an independent recollection of that. I presume I did note that.
Mr. Coleman. And you are saying with all that information that you would look at that file, I take it you did it on October 22?
Mr. Seeley. Yes, sir.
