Mr. Dulles. Was there any evidence that the hint you gave, or that was given, to Lee Harvey not to come over this weekend caused him any annoyance? Was he put out by this, and did he indicate it?
Mrs. Paine. I made no such request of him. Marina talked with him on the phone.
Mr. Dulles. I realize that.
Mrs. Paine. And she made no mention of any irritation. Of course, I didn't hear what he said in response to her asking him not to come.
Mr. Dulles. And it didn't come out in any of these subsequent telephone messages which we are now discussing?
Mrs. Paine. No; I think I probably talked with him during that same telephone conversation to say that he could go without a car, and there was no irritation I noticed.
Mr. Dulles. Thank you.
Mr. Jenner. But it is your definite recollection that his failure to come on the weekend preceding the assassination was not at his doing but at the request of Marina, under the circumstances you have related?
Mrs. Paine. I am absolutely clear about that.
Mr. Jenner. You are absolutely clear about that. All right. Now, state, you began to state the circumstances of the telephone call. Would you in your own words and your own chronology proceed with that, please?
