I returned to her office and asked for same. and she said she needed them for information. I then stated we had been to the American Council. and right away she returned our passports. She then conferred with another gentleman. and after their conference she granted us a visa for three days only. We finally saw my father who I found in a deplorable condition. He died three days after we left Hungary. which meant that the whole purpose of my trip was done in vain. because I was supposed to be there to help my mother with the funeral and in her grief.
