Mr. STERN. Why don't you read it through carefully now and, as you go
through, add to it in any way that you wish to, tell us anything else
that you remember, any small detail that occurs to you. I don't mean
read it out loud, read it to yourself.
Mr. FAIN. I see.
Our primary objective at this time was to ascertain whether or not the
Soviets had demanded anything of him in letting him get out of the
country and permitting his wife to come along with him, and you will
notice down there in paragraph 12----
Mr. STERN. Page 12.
Mr. FAIN. Excuse me, page 12, paragraph 4 of page 12, he stated that
the Soviets made it very difficult for him to obtain permission for his
wife to leave Russia, and that the process of obtaining permission for
her to leave was a long, difficult course requiring much paper work.
But he was just referring there to the length of time, and he denied
that they had attempted to get anything from him or demand anything
from him; and he denied that they had ever sought information from him
of detriment to our country.
