Mrs. Paine.

Yes, on November 9, which was election day, Saturday, in Texas.

Mr. Jenner.

This was the weekend he was home?

Mrs. Paine.

This was the weekend that he was home, which was the last weekend he was home, don't call it home though.

Mr. Jenner.

I am sorry. It was the last weekend that he was at your home?

Mrs. Paine.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And he arrived the previous day, evening or late afternoon?

Mrs. Paine.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Now starting with that Friday afternoon, please relate the course of events?

Mrs. Paine.

Well, I will say that we went Saturday morning to a station in Dallas where you can take the written test and eye test that permits you to get a learner's permit, but when we got there that is all of us, children, Lee, Marina and myself, driving in my car to Oak Cliff--when we got there it was closed, being election day. I hadn't thought, realized that this would mean it would be closed. So we returned. The next weekend---

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me, before you reach that.

Mrs. Paine.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

Are you reasonably certain that he came home or came to Irving the previous afternoon?

Mrs. Paine.

Certainly.

Mr. Jenner.

Perhaps to refresh your recollection, do you remember a weekend in which Lee Harvey Oswald called from Dallas and said to Marina that he would not be in that Friday afternoon because he was going to do some job hunting the next morning, and that he would come the next day? Could it be that this was that weekend?

Mrs. Paine.

Well, he had already had 'a job that weekend, didn't he? So he wouldn't have been job hunting. I recall he was there in the morning, Saturday morning.

Mr. Jenner.

Looking for another job?

Mrs. Paine.

Oh, Well, no.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't recall any discussion of his being dissatisfied with

the job at the Texas School Book Depository?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

And was undertaking to look for another job?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

There is no discussion?

Mrs. Paine.

There is one Saturday that he came out later but that was still in October. It was the second weekend that he came out, altogether he came out on the weekend of the 4th, so he would have come out on October 12, Saturday. It doesn't check with my recollection.

Mr. Jenner.

So just to make sure, it is your present recollection that you can recall no occasion when you were advised by Marina or directly that Lee Harvey Oswald called and said he would not be in on that particular Friday but would come the next day?

Mrs. Paine.

I would be quite certain it was not that weekend. It is possible that this happened, I don't recall any discussion, nor did I have any idea that there had been any occasion when he had to look for a different job.

Mr. Jenner.

Never any discussion on that subject?

Mrs. Paine.

Never.
Just to complete the discussion of automobile driving, I will go on to the next weekend then when he did not come out to my house, but I----

Representative Ford.

That would be the weekend of the 18th?

Mrs. Paine.

Just prior to the assassination. The 16th I was having a birthday party for my little girl and said I couldn't possibly take him again to this place so he could take a test. But that he didn't need a car. This was news to him. He thought he needed a car for his initial test, learner's permit. I said he could go himself from Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

This was a conversation between you and Lee Oswald?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

How did it take place?
