Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, I meant go on as far as the conversation was
concerned.
Mrs. PAINE. That is all there was.
Mr. JENNER. Mrs. Paine, I would like to return just for a moment to the
conversation in the Roberts' home.
Was any possible place of employment in addition to the Texas School
Depository mentioned?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. You have no recollection of any other suggestion as to
possible places of employment?
Mrs. PAINE. I have no recollection of that.
Mr. JENNER. You have no recollection of any other, at least two other
places being suggested, and you, in turn, stating that they would be
unsatisfactory, one because an automobile had to be used, or it would
be necessary for Lee to have an automobile, and the other that he was
lacking in the possible qualifications needed? None of that refreshes
your recollection?
Mrs. PAINE. None of that refreshes my recollection. I certainly
know that I thought, for instance, he couldn't have applied to Bell
Helicopter or to any place apart from the city area.
Mr. JENNER. But Bell Helicopter was not mentioned?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall it being mentioned.
Mr. JENNER. Your husband is employed by Bell Helicopter, is he not?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Had you made an inquiry of your husband as to the
possibility of employment by Lee Harvey Oswald with Bell Helicopter?
Mrs. PAINE. No; I hadn't, especially knowing that he had no way of
getting there.
Mr. JENNER. Unless he knew how to drive a car?
Mrs. PAINE. Unless he knew how to drive a car.
Mr. JENNER. You didn't believe he was proficient enough at this moment
to operate it?
Mrs. PAINE. We have got on record here that I gave him the first lesson
on the 13th of October.
Mr. JENNER. And in any event were you aware he had no driver's license?
Mrs. PAINE. I certainly was.
Mr. JENNER. Especially that week?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Did you give him the telephone number and the address of
the Texas School Book Depository on the occasion when you talked to
him, this is the 14th?
Mrs. PAINE. The address, I don't think so. I probably gave the phone
number. I don't recall that I gave him an address.
Mr. JENNER. Directing your attention to your address book, you have an
entry in your address book of the Texas School Depository, do you not?
Would you turn to that page?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have it here.
Mr. JENNER. Is there an entry of address of the Texas School Depository
on that page?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; which I believe I made after he gained employment
there.
Mr. JENNER. Rather than at the time that you advised him of this
possibility?
Mrs. PAINE. Indeed.
Mr. JENNER. Have you made an entry of the telephone number of the Texas
School Book Depository on that date?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I have and of the address.
Mr. JENNER. And that is the telephone number and the address of the
Texas School Depository Building where----
Mrs. PAINE. On Elm Street.
Mr. JENNER. I heard you mention the Texas School Depository warehouse.
Did you think the warehouse was at 411 Elm?
Mrs. PAINE. No. I had seen a sign on a building as I went along one
of the limited access highways that leads into Dallas, saying "Texas
School Book Depository Warehouse" and there was the only building
that had registered on my consciousness as being Texas School Book
Depository.
I was not aware, hadn't taken in the idea of there being two buildings
and that there was one on Elm, though, I copied the address from the
telephone book, and could well have made that notation in my mind but I
didn't.
The first I realized that there was a building on Elm was when I heard
on the television on the morning of the 22d of November that a shot had
been fired from such a building.
Mr. JENNER. For the purpose of this record then I would like to
emphasize you were under the impression then, were you, that Lee Harvey
Oswald was employed?
Mrs. PAINE. At the warehouse.
Mr. JENNER. Other than at 411, a place at 411 Elm?
Mrs. PAINE. I thought he worked at the warehouse. I had in fact,
pointed out the building to my children going into Dallas later after
he had gained employment.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever discuss with Lee Harvey Oswald where he
actually was employed, that is the location of the building?
Mrs. PAINE. No; I didn't.
Mr. JENNER. Did he ever mention it?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. There never was any discussion between you and, say, young
Mr. Frazier or Mrs. Randle or anyone in the neighborhood as to where
the place of employment is located?
Mrs. PAINE. No. It may be significant here to say, my letter to which I
have already referred----
