Mr. JENNER. And you did tell the agent that?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes. It had to have been that session. I know I certainly
told him, and it had to have been that time because the second meeting
was very brief and had only to do with the address.
Mr. JENNER. And that was not on a Friday?
Mrs. PAINE. No; it was not.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said about the agent remaining because Lee
Oswald would be along, he was expected?
Mrs. PAINE. No. May I interject here to recall to your mind that as I
looked through my calendar trying to find if there was any time, any
weekend other than the weekend of October 12, that Lee arrived on a
Saturday instead of a Friday, it had to be that weekend by deduction.
And I don't recall whether he arrived that Friday evening.
I do recall when he arrived we told him about this meeting and I gave
him the piece of paper on which I had written Mr. Hosty's name and the
normal telephone number for the FBI in Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. But you recall no conversation. May I suggest this to
you as possibly refreshing your recollection. That on that Friday
afternoon, which I may say to you now, Mrs. Paine, is reported by Agent
Hosty as having taken place on November 1, and he has made his report
accordingly, was there any discussion of a suggestion that Lee Oswald
would be out that weekend, that is either that you told him he would
not be or that he would be, that you would expect him?
Mrs. PAINE. My recollection is that I said he came out here on weekends
and he could be seen then.
Mr. JENNER. Go ahead.
Mrs. PAINE. And I have no recollection of ever thinking he was not
going to come that weekend.
Mr. JENNER. You have also testified that you were also advised in
advance when he was coming?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. He asked permission. So if he were coming on the 1st of
November, that very day, you would have been advised in advance that he
was coming, would you not, according to your testimony.
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I would think so.
Mr. JENNER. But you don't recall saying anything to Agent Hosty that he
was coming that evening, at least that you expected him to be there.
Mrs. PAINE. I may have. I don't specifically recall.
Mr. JENNER. But you do have a recollection that you told him at least
generally that Lee Oswald came to your home on weekends?
Mrs. PAINE. I feel certain of that.
Mr. JENNER. In any event, Agent Hosty did not remain?
Mrs. PAINE. He did not remain. I don't think it was very close to 5
when he left. It was earlier in the afternoon.
Mr. JENNER. You are inclined to think the interview took place earlier
in the afternoon, that is prior to 5 o'clock?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; more likely 2 to 3 or 3:30.
Mr. JENNER. During the slumber hours of your children?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. Now you are certain in your own mind that you had no
interview or no FBI agent interviewed you prior to November 1?
Mrs. PAINE. That is right.
Mr. JENNER. And if an FBI agent did interview you, you were not aware
that you were being interviewed?
Mrs. PAINE. That is absolutely correct.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have a recollection that on October 29, that would
be 2 days before the Friday session that you have testified about, that
some sales person or purporting to be a sales person or a drummer or
somebody came to your door and made some inquiries of you about the
Oswalds?
Mrs. PAINE. October 29 is a Tuesday. I don't recall any such encounter.
Written on my calendar is "Dal" for Dallas "Junie" meaning we went to a
clinic in Dallas in the morning. It doesn't say about the rest of the
day.
Mr. JENNER. Now when you reported to Lee Oswald the name of the agent
and the telephone number, you put that on a slip of paper.
Mrs. PAINE. I did.
Mr. JENNER. And handed the slip of paper to him?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I did.
Mr. JENNER. Was there any conversation between you then as to FBI
agents having at any time prior thereto interviewed Lee Oswald.
Mrs. PAINE. There may have been. I am certainly clear that I was told
probably by Marina that he had been interviewed, or by both of them,
that he had been interviewed in Fort Worth when they first returned
from the Soviet Union. This I knew before the time of the assassination.
Mr. JENNER. Did Marina say whether she had been interviewed in Fort
Worth?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. This was only that Lee Oswald had been interviewed at Fort
Worth?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. But you recall no conversation in which either Lee or
Marina said or intimated to you that they had, either of them had been
interviewed either in New Orleans or in Dallas.
Mrs. PAINE. Nothing was mentioned of having been interviewed in New
Orleans or Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. You made some reference yesterday, and I want to keep it in
context, to the license number of the FBI agent.
Mrs. PAINE. Not in testimony. Did I?
Mr. JENNER. I thought you had.
Mrs. PAINE. Perhaps.
Mr. JENNER. It would be well if we went into that. Would you please
recite what that incident was?
Mrs. PAINE. I am confused by the question.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall the matter of the taking of the agent's
license number from his automobile?
Mrs. PAINE. I was told by Agent Hosty well after the assassination
that they had found in Oswald's room in Dallas a slip of paper which
included not only Hosty's name and the telephone number of the FBI in
Dallas, but also the license plate number with one letter incorrect,
one number incorrect, of the car that Hosty had driven out. This was
the first I had heard anything about their having been a license plate.
