Mrs. Paine. I am not certain—I tried to translate some of this conversation, I am not certain how good my translation was or how well I conveyed it, or even if I conveyed it to her.
Mr. Jenner. But you do recall translating some of the conversation to her?
Mrs. Paine. I do recall translating some of the conversation indeed.
Mr. Jenner. Were you at times asked to address Marina to convey something that the FBI agent asked you to convey to her and then to translate in the reverse to him?
Mrs. Paine. I don't recall anything as formal as that; no. The agent and I conversed some in English. He said, for instance, that, well he was interested in knowing if Lee Oswald lived here. I told him he did not, that he had a room in town; he asked if I knew where the room was and I said I did not. He asked if he was working and I said yes, and that he was working at the Texas School Book Depository. I haven't gone over any of this yet, it must have been in conversation with you.
Mr. Jenner. You testified to this yesterday afternoon?
Mrs. Paine. I thought I did. It sounds familiar.
Mr. McCloy. I just wanted to fix for my own benefit the number of times you saw FBI agents prior to the assassination in the company of Marina.
Mr. Jenner. There was a succeeding date?
Mrs. Paine. There was a succeeding date which again I have been told by the FBI was November 5, the first time.
