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.
Senator COOPER. At the time that he was engaged in----

Mr. Hosty.

In the Fair Play for Cuba work; yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. What do you call it--Fair Play for Cuba?

Mr. Hosty.

Fair Play for Cuba; yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Now Mr. Fain testified that he had interviewed Oswald I think in 19----

Mr. Hosty.

1962.
Senator COOPER. 1962.

Mr. Hosty.

That is correct.
Senator COOPER. The year before. Mr. Quigley testified that Oswald told him that he had married a Russian girl whose maiden name was Prossa, and also in that file there was another statement in which Oswald had said that he had been married, that he had married a girl in Fort Worth. Now were all those papers available to the office in New Orleans?

Mr. Hosty.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. I suppose this would be a question of Mr. Quigley, really, but if all those factors were known, it would appear that the facts that Mr. Fain had secured, which showed the defection and his marriage in Russia, and the fact that he had told someone else he was married in Texas, that there would have been some further investigation of it in New Orleans.

Mr. Hosty.

Well, this would be something that Mr. Quigley would have to answer.

Mr. Mccloy.

You had a record of inconsistent statements in there.

Mr. Hosty.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Continuing that line, Mr. Hosty, do you recognize Commission Exhibit 826, I now hand you?

Mr. Hosty.

Yes.

Mr. Stern.

That is the report of----

Mr. Hosty.

Milton R. Kaack.

Mr. Stern.

And it is dated?

Mr. Hosty.

October 31, 1963. I received it on November 1.

Mr. Dulles.

Do you recall whether that inconsistent statement, that inconsistency was picked up in New Orleans at this time, in the New Orleans office?

Mr. Hosty.

I don't; no, sir. You mean about----

Mr. Dulles.

About marriage.

Mr. Hosty.

About marriage? I picked it up when I saw it.
