Mr. Paine. I think it was—he did not know, I think, that we had Marina staying with us, but he was one of the first to connect, guess that it was us. He called and asked us, "Is this you?"
Representative Ford. "Is this you?" What? I don't quite understand the context here.
Mr. Paine. He heard it on the news and he heard Mrs. Paine, and Marina had been staying with a Mrs. Paine and he called to ask, "Are you the Paines?"
Mr. Liebeler. Had you discussed Lee Oswald with your father prior to this time?
Mr. Paine. No; I don't think I mentioned him.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you know whether your father knew Lee Oswald?
Mr. Paine. No; I do not know. Or I gather since he had such a funny idea of him over the phone.
Mr. Liebeler. To the best of your judgment the only way your father heard of Lee Oswald, connected Lee Oswald to you, was through a news broadcast that he had heard connecting Oswald with somebody named Paine?
Mr. Paine. Or Marina had stayed with the Paines.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever discuss your father with Lee Oswald?
