Mrs. Paine. Yes. I then proceeded to hang some clothes.
Mr. Jenner. She did not comment?
Mrs. Paine. She did not comment.
Mr. Jenner. Made no comment?
Mrs. Paine. That is my recollection, that she made no comment. I then helped hang the clothes. My recollection skips then to being again in front of the television listening, and it was then that we heard that the President was dead. We were both sitting on the sofa.
Mr. Jenner. Marina had come in from the yard?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. From the hanging of the clothes?
Mrs. Paine. I don't recall whether we came in together or whether she preceded me into the house while I finished hanging up the clothes. But I do recall then next sitting on the sofa when the announcement was definitely made that the President was dead. And she said to me "What a terrible thing this was for Mrs. Kennedy and for the two children." I remember her words were, "Now the two children will have to grow up without the father." It was very shortly after this we were still sitting on the sofa.
Mr. McCloy. Just take a little time and compose yourself.
