Mr. COLEMAN. Prior to that time, you had nothing to do with the visa request or the section 243(g) waiver? Miss JAMES. No; I don't recall having anything to do with it. Mr. COLEMAN. Do you recall---- Miss JAMES. As I recall, it was a surprise to me that it was refused. Mr. COLEMAN. But you had nothing to do with the first petition? Miss JAMES. No. Mr. COLEMAN. You weren't the one that sent the petition from the Department of State to INS? Miss JAMES. No; that is routine visa work. Mr. COLEMAN. Do you recall when Mr. Crump informed you that INS had refused to grant the waiver under section 243(g)? Miss JAMES. I don't recall the date. I do recall his informing me that they had had this information from INS that the petition was approved, but that the section 243(g) waiver was not approved and, therefore, it looked as though Mrs. Oswald would not be able to come directly to the United States. If she came at all she would have to go via another country that did not have this sanction against it. Mr. COLEMAN. Could you explain for the record just what the sanction is under section 243(g)? Miss JAMES. Yes; the sanction is that the United States will not issue an immigration visa to a citizen of a country which refuses to accept a deportee from the United States based on the reasoning that if you can't deport to that country, if a person turns out to be an unsatisfactory immigrant, you are stuck with that immigrant. Mr. COLEMAN. Does that mean that the person cannot come into the United States? Miss JAMES. No; it means that Mrs. Oswald could have gone to Belgium, France, England, any other country that accepts deportees, and applied for an immigration visa and have been admitted without any question on a section 243(g) waiver. Mr. COLEMAN. I have marked as James Exhibit No. 2 a memorandum from Robert I. Owen to John E. Crump, under date of March 16, 1962, and the subject of the memorandum is: "Operation of sanctions imposed by Section 243(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act in case of Mrs. Marina N. Oswald." (The document referred to was marked James Deposition Exhibit No. 2, for identification.) Mr. COLEMAN. Did you prepare the original of that memorandum. Miss JAMES. Yes; I prepared it under Mr. Owen's supervision. Mr. COLEMAN. Do you recall Mr. Owen asking you to prepare it? Miss JAMES. This was my responsibility, this case, but I had long discussions with Mr. Owen on the case as to how we should proceed with it before I wrote the memorandum. Mr. COLEMAN. And Mr. Owen told you, "Why don't you draft a memorandum for Mr. Crump explaining to him the situation?" Miss JAMES. We came to agreement in a talk as to how to handle the case, and I drafted the memorandum which would go to Mr. Crump because he was the officer in the Visa Office handling the case.
