Mr. Coleman.

Is that the despatch which you received?

Mr. Snyder.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. And then again on May 26, 1961, you sent another despatch to the State Department indicating that you received another letter from Oswald, and stating that you thought you would return to Oswald his passport, and that has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 936.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 936 for identification.)

Mr. Dulles.

Mr. Chairman, I note a reference in the margin here, in Commission Exhibit No. 934.
Do you know whose handwriting that is in, Mr. Snyder?

Mr. Snyder.

Yes, sir; that is my handwriting.

Mr. Dulles.

What does that say?

Mr. Snyder.

It says, "May be necessary give him before he can arrange depart."

Mr. Coleman.

Now, Mr. Snyder, on or about July 10 or 11, 1961, Mr. Oswald physically appeared at the American Embassy again, did he not?

Mr. Snyder.

Yes; I saw him once more I believe once more possibly twice.

Mr. Coleman.

Actually he came in on a Saturday, did he not, which was July 8, and then you saw him again on the following Monday, isn't that correct? Didn't you actually see him twice during that period?

Mr. Snyder.

I think that I must have. As I say, I think I must have, because of my review of the record at the time indicates that I think I saw him on the 8th, and the application was taken on the 10th, which means, I presumably saw him twice.

Mr. Coleman.

Do you recall when he came into the Embassy on the 8th and what he said, and what you did?

Mr. Snyder.

No; in fact, I have no recollection of his having come in at that time, Mr. Coleman.

Mr. Coleman.

In the course of theSe two interviews on the 8th and on the 10th, he actually filled out an application for renewal of his passport, did he not?

Mr. Snyder.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Coleman.

And you handled that application? That is correct?

Mr. Snyder.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Coleman.

I next have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 938, a six page document which purports to be an application for renewal of passport, together with a questionnaire which was attached thereto, and ask you whether that is a copy of the application for renewal which you filled out at that time.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 938 for identification.)

Mr. Snyder.

With reference to his visit on the 8th, it is possible that he telephoned. Again, I don't know quite what our record shows on that.

Mr. Coleman.

Well, to help you refresh your recollection, sir, there has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 935 a Foreign Service Despatch dated July 11, 1961, in which you described the meeting with Oswald. Perhaps you would want to be reading that.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 935 for identification.)

Mr. Snyder.

This is the interview which I thought I had on the 10th.

Representative Ford.

What does it mean in this questionnaire [Commission Exhibit No. 938] where Oswald says, and I quote, "I received [sic] a document for residence in the U.S.S.R. but I am described as being 'Without Citizenship'"?

Mr. Snyder.

This undoubtedly refers to his so-called internal Soviet passport, Mr. Ford. Every Soviet citizen living in urban areas, and also in the border areas, bears an internal passport which identifies him, has certain other information about him, and bears a notation of nationality. There are, as I recall, three varieties of this. One is for Soviet citizens, one is for citizens of foreign countries, I believe, and another is for stateless persons.

The Chairman.

What is the last category?

Mr. Snyder.

Stateless persons. My mind is not clear at this stage as to whether the passports for foreigners and stateless persons is the same or not.
