United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. So the license plates would have been screened by the
Oldsmobile?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Have you given us all you have in mind with respect to the
incidents?
Mrs. PAINE. There is one other thing which is a little different, and I
had forgotten it but it is recalled by our conversation. I have already
said that I said to Agent Hosty that if in the future Marina and Lee
are living together, and I know, or I have correspondence with them I
would give him his address if he wished it. Then it was the next day or
that evening or sometime shortly thereafter Marina said to me while we
were doing dishes that she felt their address was their business. Now
my understanding is she doesn't understand English well. The word in
Russian for address is "adres," and she made it plain that this was a
matter of privacy for them. This surprised me. She had never spoken in
this way to me before, and I didn't see that it made any difference.
Mr. JENNER. Did this arise out of, or in connection with, or was it
stimulated, by any discussion between the two of you of the visit of
Agent Hosty?
Mrs. PAINE. So far as I could see, it arose separately.
Mr. JENNER. So far as you can recall?
Mrs. PAINE. As far as I can recall.
Mr. JENNER. Did you make any effort to obtain Lee Oswald's address so
that you could give it to the FBI?
Mrs. PAINE. No. As I have testified, I really thought they had it.
Mr. JENNER. When you made the telephone call to Lee Oswald and learned
he apparently was living under an alias, and certainly in that weekend
immediately preceding the assassination when the argument occurred
between Marina and Lee Oswald on which he upbraided her for having made
the call, you still weren't activated to call the FBI and tell them
that he was living under an assumed name, is that true?
Mrs. PAINE. That is true. I did expect to give this copy which I had
made of his "Dear Sirs," letter which you have marked Commission
Exhibit 103 to the FBI agent at the next meeting.
Mr. JENNER. At the time he called if he did call?
Mrs. PAINE. I thought he would.
Mr. JENNER. During the interview on November 1, you have testified that
Marina was present some of the time.
Mrs. PAINE. She was present virtually all of that time.
Mr. JENNER. All of the time?
Mrs. PAINE. And virtually none of the next time.
Mr. JENNER. Virtually none.
Mrs. PAINE. Just came in at the end, on the 5th.
Mr. JENNER. Was she out in the yard? Did you get that impression any
time during that second interview?
Mrs. PAINE. No; she had to have been in her room the entire time.
Mr. JENNER. Are you firm, reasonably firm that Marina, even if she
desired to learn of the license number on Agent Hosty's car, that she
could not have seen or detected it while remaining in the house?
Mrs. PAINE. She might possibly--oh, I wouldn't say that. It is
conceivable, depending on where it was parked, it is conceivable that
she could have seen it from the bedroom window.
