United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. PAINE. No; he didn't. I have one other recollection that possibly
should be put in regarding the conversation with Agent Hosty the first
time when Marina was present. We discussed many things, just as you
would having coffee in the afternoon with a visitor, and----
Mr. JENNER. Is this a discussion between you and Marina with the agent
present or not present.
Mrs. PAINE. He was present.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. PAINE. Discussion between the three of us.
Mr. JENNER. Thank you.
Mrs. PAINE. And I can't recall certainly who brought it up, but I
think Marina asked of Hosty what did he think of Castro, and he said,
"Well, he reads what is printed and from the view given in the American
newspapers of Castro's activities and intentions, he certainly didn't
like those intentions or actions."
And Marina expressed an opinion subsequently, but contrary, that
perhaps he was not given much chance by the American press, or that the
press was not entirely fair to him. This I translated.
Mr. JENNER. Is that the extent of it? Now have you exhausted your
recollection?
Mrs. PAINE. I hope so. I have exhausted myself.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Chairman, do you have another question?
Senator COOPER. Not on this subject.
Mr. JENNER. I would like to return to your furnishing of the name and
the telephone number of Agent Hosty. In Commission Exhibit No. 18,
which is in evidence, which was Lee Oswald's diary--by the way, may I
hand the exhibit to the witness, Mr. Chairman?
Senator COOPER. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. This is an address book. In any event it is in evidence as
Exhibit No. 18. Have you ever seen that booklet before?
Mrs. PAINE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Examine the outside of the booklet. Have you seen this?
Mrs. PAINE. I have never seen this.
Mr. JENNER. You have never seen that in Lee Oswald's possession?
Mrs. PAINE. I have never seen it at all.
Mr. JENNER. There is an entry as follows. Would you help me Mr.
Redlich. Would you read it please?
Mr. REDLICH. "November 1, 1963 FBI agent James P. Hosty."
Mrs. PAINE. Junior?
Mr. REDLICH. Just above the word "Hosty" appears in parentheses "RI
1-1121," and underneath "James P. Hosty" appears "MU 8605." Underneath
that is "1114 Commerce Street Dallas." I would just like to correct
upon the record that the phone number originally read is "RI-11211."
Mrs. PAINE. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. What is that phone number?
Mrs. PAINE. That phone number I recognize from my own use of it is to
the FBI in Dallas, my use since the assassination.
Mr. JENNER. And the series of numbers rather than phone numbers, series
of numbers "MU 8605."
Mrs. PAINE. Is not known to me.
Mr. JENNER. What is the system of license plate numbering and lettering
employed in Texas?
Mrs. PAINE. I am not acquainted with any particular system. They use
both letters and numbers.
Mr. JENNER. I call your attention in connection with this entry that
it is dated November 1, 1963, and there does appear in it the license
number.
Mrs. PAINE. Oh, yes.
