United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir; in connection with the answer to this question,
we did a research job on a list of defectors which had been furnished
to the Department of State by the Department of Defense, and our search
disclosed that only one of these individuals, a Paul David Wilson, had
applied for passport facilities since his return to the United States,
and he was issued a passport.
Mr. COLEMAN. To go where, sir?
Mr. SEELEY. To visit Mexico, Colombia, South America, and was uncertain
of others.
Mr. COLEMAN. Was that done routinely or was that done after looking at
his file?
Mr. SEELEY. My recollection of this, that this was a routine issuance
of a passport to a person on whom we had no information.
Mr. COLEMAN. In other words, this was another case where because you
didn't have a lookout card----
Mr. SEELEY. Yes.
Mr. COLEMAN. Nobody ever looked at the file?
Mr. SEELEY. Yes, sir; well, there was no file. We have no file on this
man other than his name. The Passport Office has no file on this man,
Paul David Wilson.
Mr. COLEMAN. But there has been no case where you had a file, you knew
he had defected, and then applied for another passport and before you
issued the second passport you had to make a decision as to whether you
could refuse to issue him a passport?
Mr. SEELEY. None to my knowledge.
Mr. COLEMAN. I have no further questions, unless you have something
else you would want to say.
Mr. SEELEY. I have nothing further, Mr. Coleman. I will be glad to help
all I can. That is all I can say.
Mr. COLEMAN. Thank you for coming over.
