Mr. Martin. And he—of course, he is quite familiar with Russian affairs, and he said the stories just don't match, and he was trying to tie in Oswald, I guess, with the Communist Party or some attachment there some place, and I mentioned that I thought he was just a nut.
Mr. Redlich. That who was.
Mr. Martin. Oswald. And I said, I told him I didn't know how true it was but then I related the story, and he—I cautioned him not to pass it around or anything like that, which he said he wouldn't.
Mr. Redlich. Were you or Marina Oswald compensated in any way for the release of this information to Mr. Levine?
Mr. Martin. No.
Mr. Dulles. Was Mr. Levine at this time trying to get the rights to the story or the right to write the story?
Mr. Martin. He wants to write the story, and through Meredith Press.
Mr. Redlich. Were you negotiating with Mr. Levine at the time concerning the rights to Marina Oswald's story?
Mr. Martin. Yes.
Mr. Redlich. And it was during the course of these negotiations that you revealed to him the Nixon incident?
