Mr. Jenner.

By transcript I meant that it has been retyped, that it is literal.

Mrs. Paine.

That is the document; yes.

Mr. Jenner.

That is interesting. You noticed that the document was in English.

Mrs. Paine.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Jenner.

You saw it. And it was folded at what point, now that you have the transcript of it before you?

Mrs. Paine.

At the top of what I could see of the paper. In other words, it was just below the fold. It said, "The FBI is not now interested in my activities."

Mr. Jenner.

Is that what arrested your attention?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

What did you do?

Mrs. Paine.

I then proceeded to read the whole note, wondering, knowing this to be false, wondering why he was saying it. I was irritated to have him writing a falsehood on my typewriter, I may say, too. I felt I had some cause to look at it.

Mr. Jenner.

May I have your permission, Mr. Chairman. The document is short. It is relevant to the witness' testimony, and might I read it aloud in the record to draw your attention to it?

Mr. Mccloy.

Without objection.

Mr. Jenner.

Mrs. Paine, would you help me by reading it, since you have it there.

Mrs. Paine.

Do you want me to leave out all the crossed out--

Mr. Jenner.

No; I wish you would indicate that too.

Mrs. Paine.

"Dear Sirs:
"This is to inform you of events since my interview with comrade Kostine in the Embassy of the Soviet Union, Mexico City, Mexico."
(Discussion off the record.)

Mrs. Paine.

He typed it early in the morning of that day because after he typed it we went to the place where you get the test for drivers. It was that same day.

Mr. Jenner.

It was election day and the driver's license place was closed, is that correct?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And that was November 9?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Now you have reached the point where you are reading the letter on the morning of November 10.

Mrs. Paine.

That is right; after I had noticed that it lay on my desk the previous evening.
"I was unable to remain in Mexico City (because I considered useless--)"because it is crossed out.

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me, Mr. Chairman. In this transcript wherever there are words stricken out, the transcriber has placed those words in parenthesis and transcribed the words, but then has written the words "crossed out" to indicate in the original the words crossed out.
Proceed, Mrs. Paine.

Mrs. Paine.

"Indefinitely because of my (visa--crossed out) Mexican visa restrictions which was for 15 days only.
"(I had a---crossed out) I could not take a chance on applying for an extension unless I used my real name so I returned to the U.S.
"I and Marina Nicholyeva are now living in Dallas, Texas. (You all ready ha--crossed out).
"The FBI is not now interested in my activities in the progressive organization FPCC of which I was secretary in (New Orleans, La.--crossed out) New Orleans, Louisiana since I (am-crossed out) no longer (connected with-crossed out) live in that state.
"(November the November-crossed out) the FBI has visited us here in Texas on November 1st. Agent of the FBI James P. Hasty warned me that if I attempt to engage in FPCC activities in Texas the FBI will again take an 'interest' in me. The agent also 'suggested' that my wife could remain in the U.S. under
