United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. And in the course of that interview, do you recall having
stated to these agents that on the evening of November 21, Lee Oswald
went out to the garage of your home, where he had many of his personal
effects stored, and spent considerable time, apparently rearranging and
handling his personal effects.
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall saying exactly that.
Mr. JENNER. Could you have said that to the agents.
Mrs. PAINE. I could have said as far as spending considerable time.
Mr. JENNER. Now that your recollection is possibly further refreshed,
please tell us what you did say to the agents as you now recall?
Mrs. PAINE. You have refreshed nothing. You have got all there was of
my recollection in previous testimony.
Mr. JENNER. Based on the fundamentals, the specifics which you have
given us yesterday and today, you did report to the FBI on the 23d of
November in the interview to which I have called your attention that on
the evening of the 21st Oswald went out to the garage where he had many
of his personal effects stored, and spent considerable time apparently
rearranging and handling his personal effects.
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall ever saying "apparently rearranging and
handling."
Mr. JENNER. Other than the word "apparently" that is a reasonable
summary of what you did say to the FBI agents, is it?
Mrs. PAINE. I don't recall. I think my best recollection is as I have
given it to you in the testimony, was it this morning, that I certainly
was of the opinion that he had been out there. I had been busy for some
time with my children, and I could easily, and of course that was the
day after, and this several months after, have been of the opinion,
been informed as to how long he had been out there, but my recollection
now doesn't give me any length of time.
Mr. JENNER. You have heretofore given us yesterday and today your very
best recollection after full reflection on all the course of events.
Mrs. PAINE. I certainly have.
Mr. JENNER. I notice that during the course of the interview, and
perhaps you will recall, that you did call attention of the FBI, these
two agents, to the Mexico City letter about which you have testified,
is that correct?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I gave it to them.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Chairman, that is all I intend to cover with respect to
the FBI. Do you have any questions? We will go on to another subject.
Senator COOPER. This would be going back into the subject on which you
have already testified, but with reference to this last statement,
this letter, where it is reported, you said, Lee Oswald did go into
the garage and spend some time, did you make a statement to the FBI
after the agents had been in the garage, or the police had been in the
garage, and had found the blanket with nothing in it.
Mrs. PAINE. Yes, certainly, this was the next day that Hosty was out
with Abernathy.
Senator COOPER. And you did remember of course that you found the light
on?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
