Mr. Liebeler. Did Marina and Mrs. Paine meet this evening at your house?
Mrs. Ford. Yes; they did, they talked.
Mr. Liebeler. What did they say to each other?
Mrs. Ford. Well, frankly, I got an idea that Mrs. Paine came there to convince Marina to write a book with Mr. Levine who is rather persistent about it at the moment. He wants to start writing a book before Marina finishes with her lawyer and attorney—and her manager. She knows and she is advised by her attorney now not to do it before it is finished, and I think Mrs. Paine tried to talk her into it.
Mr. Liebeler. They didn't discuss anything about the assassination or Mrs. Oswald's testimony before the Commission?
Mrs. Ford. No; I did not hear it.
Mr. Liebeler. So far as you heard.
Did Marina ever tell you anything about the trip to Mexico that Lee Oswald took?
Mrs. Ford. Well, let's see. I think she was saying something about it that she did not mention to the FBI but she mentioned it to the Commission. She did say that. And that the FBI wanted to talk with her, that was the reason they wanted to come back again and talk with her. They came to my house quite often during the time she stayed at my house and talked with her, and she said that was the subject, and they asked her why she did not say it to start with, and she said well, she had begun to get tired of the FBI and she didn't like to talk with them.
Mr. Liebeler. The FBI had been interviewing her while she stayed at your place?
