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.

Mr. Jenner.

You did not take

Mrs. Paine.

Number taken down.

Mr. Jenner.

You did not take the number down and place it on that piece of paper?

Mrs. Paine.

I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

Or give it to Lee Harvey Oswald or to Marina?

Mrs. Paine.

I did not. I was never at any time interested in the license plate number. I wondered why anyone else would have been.

Mr. Jenner.

In any event, the first you heard of the license number was after the assassination?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

Under the circumstances you have now related?

Mrs. Paine.

I might describe the second meeting with Mr. Hosty a little more in detail.

Mr. Jenner.

That is November 1?

Mrs. Paine.

That is the only way I can guess as to how this license plate number was in Oswald's room.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mrs. Paine.

Hosty and I, and a second agent was with him, I don't know the name, stood at the door of my home and talked briefly, as I have already described, about the address of Oswald in Dallas. Marina was in her room feeding the baby, or busy some way. She came in just as Hosty and I were closing the conversation, and I must say we were both surprised at her entering.
