Mr. Paine. It was November something, I don't know what, a Wednesday or Thursday night.
Mr. Liebeler. For the record I think the record should indicate that Mr. Stevenson was in Dallas on or about October 24, 1963. Who invited you to this meeting?
Mr. Paine. I had tried once before to go to a meeting which didn't occur. There happens to be a member of our choir, a paid soloist who is a John Birch advocate so I have been applying—so I have been telling her, that I wanted to go. I suppose, I don't remember for certain but I suppose she was the one who told me where and when.
Mr. Liebeler. Did this meeting have anything to do with the activity that occurred at Mr. Stevenson's meeting in Dallas?
Mr. Paine. No. You see they were taking place at the same time. It was rather sparsely attended, most of them were down spitting on Stevenson.
Mr. Liebeler. The Birch meeting which you were down to was sparsely attended?
Mr. Paine. Yes.
Representative Ford. Was this an evening meeting or afternoon?
Mr. Paine. This is evening.
Representative Ford. Evening.
