Mr. SEELEY. My duties are mainly supervisory and to review material that has been prepared in the Passport Office Legal Division, and on some occasions to clear information or material that has been prepared in other divisions of the Passport Office. Mr. COLEMAN. I take it you are a lawyer? Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir; I am. Mr. COLEMAN. Are you a member of the Bar? Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir; I am. Mr. COLEMAN. Of what State or States? Mr. SEELEY. I am a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia. Mr. COLEMAN. How long have you been with the Department of State? Mr. SEELEY. I have been with the Department of State since 1954. Mr. COLEMAN. Could you tell me the first time you heard, read or saw the name Lee Harvey Oswald? Mr. SEELEY. Well, Mr. Coleman, I don't have an independent recollection of that. I feel that probably the name first appears in the file on March 28, 1961. Mr. COLEMAN. So, therefore, by consulting the file, to refresh your recollection, you think that the first time you heard or saw the name Lee Harvey Oswald was in March 1961? Mr. SEELEY. It is possible, it may have been that I had heard of it before, though, because he did have some publicity, and I usually follow those items, but I don't have any recollection of it. Mr. COLEMAN. What happened in March 1961, that occasioned your knowing or hearing the name Lee Harvey Oswald? Mr. SEELEY. May I look at the file? Mr. COLEMAN. Certainly. I take it, sir, you are looking at the file which is the file of the passport--the original passport file of the State Department. Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir. Mr. COLEMAN. That is the file that has been given State Department file No. X, is that correct? Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir. The first time my name appears in the file is on a form DS-10, which is a reference slip, and it is addressed to Mr. Cacciatore in PT-F, and to Mr. Seeley, in PT-LS. It requests to know insofar as I am concerned, should instruction be classified confidential. Mr. COLEMAN. Sir, I will mark for the purposes of this deposition a document as S-1, meaning Seeley Exhibit No. 1, which is the State Department document which already has been marked by the State Department as X-45. Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir. (The document referred to was marked Seeley Exhibit No. 1 for identification.) Mr. COLEMAN. Who is the reference slip dated March 28, 1961, from? Mr. SEELEY. Mr. Kupiec. Mr. COLEMAN. To two persons, and you are one of the two persons, Mr. Seeley, is that correct? Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir. Mr. COLEMAN. I show you the document which has been marked as S-1 and ask you is that a copy of the document you referred to? Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir. Mr. COLEMAN. I take it that you got this because someone asked whether the instructions should be classified as confidential. Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir. I don't have an independent recollection of this, but I assume that it is referring to this instruction which is State Department's document X-47, which had been classified as Official Only.
