Representative Ford. Was anybody else present at the time of this statement by her to you?

Mr. Martin. My wife.

Representative Ford. Did your wife make any inquiry?

Mr. Martin. No. We thought it was some kind of a story.

Mr. Rankin. You mean you thought it was an untrue story?

Mr. Martin. Yes, and why, I don't know. It didn't sound logical.

Mr. Rankin. Were there other conversations with Marina that you had where you thought she was telling you things that were untrue?

Mr. Martin. She would relate stories about Russia that I would listen to but they didn't sound right.

Mr. Rankin. Do you recall any?

Mr. Martin. Well, they mostly dealt with boy friends.
