Mr. Jenner. You recall that?
Mrs. Paine. I do.
Mr. Jenner. Now during the course of that interview, you made reference to a newspaper reporter, did you not?
Mrs. Paine. I did. His name is Lonny Hudkins.
Mr. Jenner. Did you say that the reporter whom you have now identified had advised you that Lee Harvey Oswald's mother had been working for a party in Forth Worth during September and October 1962 as a practical nurse, and according to the reporter, Mrs. Oswald, mother of Lee Harvey Oswald, advised this party during her employment that her son was doing important anti-subversive work?
Mrs. Paine. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Would you please relate that incident so we will have the facts insofar as you participated in them stated of record?
Mrs. Paine. I will. I would not have recalled the date, but I knew it to be toward the end of 1963. I was called on the telephone by Lonny Hudkins, whom I had never met, announced himself as from the Houston Post, said there was a matter of some importance that he wanted to talk with me about, could he come out to the house? And he then indicated the nature of what he wanted to talk about to the extent very accurately reported in what you have just read. I called the FBI really to see if they could advise me in dealing with this man. It struck me as a very unresponsible thing to print, and I wanted to be able to convince Hudkins of that fact. I was hopeful that they might be willing to make a flat denial to him, or in some way prevent the confusion that would have been caused by his printing this.
Now shall I go on to tell about the encounter which followed with Mr. Hudkins, and something of that content?
Mr. Jenner. I am a little at a loss. Why don't you start because I can't anticipate.
