Hathaway Helms: lawyer, when Svetlana then did come to the United States the lawyers could control the press conference. In other words, as lawyers they could tell the press to get lost or that they could be searched or that they could only ask her this and they could not ask her that. In short, she was brought here: she was resettled: there was a minimum of diplomatic flap and fuss about the whole matter. The lawyers handled things extremely well. And she went on with life. I mean her later life and some of her problems in the United States are not part of this story. But that was the way she was brought to the United States and settled here. I'm not sure I follow. What was the basis of State's reasoning that they didn't want her to leave India? I don't know, you'll have to ask Secretary Rusk. Hathaway: Rusk, I gather, never found out about your stalling? Helms : Obviously not because I didn't tell him. Hathaway: That's a good story. I, of course, had not heard that story before. That's a good story. . . . What about led to the expulsion of 105 Soviet nationals. Helms : I never knew the case. The name doesn't mean anything to me. Hathaway: What about the case we codenamed -1 Apparent- ly someone called your house and said he would like to work in place with us?
