Mr. Jenner. I will read it all to you then. You advised that Lonny Hudkins, the reporter of the Houston Post in his contact that he had with you on the previous Saturday, December 28, 1963, had stated to you that the FBI was foolish to deny that Agent Hosty had tried to develop Lee Harvey Oswald as an informant. Did you make that statement?
Mrs. Paine. Not in just those terms.
Mr. Jenner. Did you make the further statement that you made no comment one way or the other to Hudkins regarding this remark of his to you? In order to get this in the proper posture, Mrs. Paine——
Senator Cooper. Do you understand the question?
Mrs. Paine. I understand what is said, but it doesn't check strictly with my recollection, that is the confusion.
Mr. Jenner. What the agent is reporting is your report of what Lonny Hudkins had said to you, and your report to the agent of your response to what Lonny Hudkins had said to you. Do we have it now in the proper posture?
Mrs. Paine. This is by no means an accurate description of the conversation or my response.
Mr. Jenner. You don't have to accept this report, of course, Mrs. Paine. Tell us what occurred in that interview?
Mrs. Paine. All right.
Mr. Jenner. What you said and what Agent Odum said to you.
