Mrs. Paine. The FBI never interviewed Marina and Lee at my home. The FBI was there one afternoon and talked to Marina through me; they never saw Lee Oswald in my home. I told them he would be there on a weekend.
Representative Boggs. Did you ever discuss politics with Marina?
Mrs. Paine. As close as we would come, I would say, would be what I have mentioned about Madam Nhu; she was interested in what the family would do. She also said to me that she thought Khrushchev was a rather coarse, country person. She said that she admired Mrs. Kennedy a great deal, and liked, this is all before, liked President Kennedy very much.
Mr. Jenner. This was all before November 22?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Representative Boggs. Were you aware of the fact that Lee returned to your home the night before the assassination?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Representative Boggs. Were you curious about that in view of the fact that he seldom came except on weekends?
Mrs. Paine. It was the first time he had come without asking permission to come. He came after he and his wife had quarreled, and Marina and I said to one another, we took this to be as close as he could come to an apology, and an effort to make up.
Representative Boggs. That was the reason you thought he had come?
