Mr. HOSTY. Because I knew I was going to get this into a report. The
next report was written, and I would put it in a report form and
destroy the notes.
Mr. DULLES. Do we have a copy of that letter of November 4?
Mr. HOSTY. I don't know.
Mr. DULLES. That you sent to headquarters and to New Orleans?
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. STERN. You tell us you have reviewed these two pages?
Mr. HOSTY. Yes.
Mr. STERN. Is there anything you would like to add?
Mr. HOSTY. No, sir.
Mr. STERN. Anything you would like to correct?
Mr. HOSTY. No, sir.
Mr. STERN. This accurately states the interviews that you covered. May
this be admitted in the record?
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted, No. 830.
(The document marked Commission Exhibit No. 830 for identification was
received in evidence.)
Representative FORD. May I ask one question here?
Mr. HOSTY. Yes, sir.
Representative FORD. Why in these notes that are now Commission Exhibit
830 didn't you mention the fact that Mrs. Paine had said that Oswald
was a Trotskyite Marxist?
Mr. HOSTY. No; that is set forth down here, sir.
Representative FORD. Yes; right.
Mr. HOSTY. In this second to the last paragraph, the last line.
Mr. McCLOY. May I ask you this, Mr. Hosty. In your contacts with Mrs.
Paine, did you get the impression that she was cooperative throughout?
Mr. HOSTY. Yes, sir; yes, sir.
Mr. McCLOY. Nothing that she said seemed to be inconsistent with any
facts that you knew?
Mr. HOSTY. No.
Senator COOPER. May I ask a question? I believe you said that all the
papers that you had respecting Lee Harvey Oswald were supplied to the
office at New Orleans.
Mr. HOSTY. At the time they were made origin; yes, sir. In the summer
of 1963, that is correct, all the files.
