Mr. Stern. Yes.
Mr. Fain. The date of the interview is located on the lower left-hand corner, and also the place of the interview.
Mr. Stern. When did you transcribe—or, first, how would you do that normally?
Mr. Fain. Well, I dictated this on May 2, 1960. It evidently was transcribed by the stenographer, as noted, on the upper right-hand corner—this is a little dim—but it looks like May 6, 1960. This is a very old copy.
Mr. Stern. You would dictate this to a secretary, Mr. Fain?
Mr. Fain. Some of it I dictated on the dictaphone, some of it I would do by rough draft and send by mail to Dallas, and if I happened to be in Dallas, I would dictate to the stenographer.
Mr. Stern. Would you ordinarily preserve your rough notes of the interview after you dictated your report?
Mr. Fain. Not after it gets in this form, because this contains all the information in the notes we have. In other words, we put everything right in. Now this is supposed to be an exact transcript of the information. It is not a recording of the information. I don't mean to leave that impression.
Mr. Stern. And you would normally destroy your notes?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir; unless there was some—there would be no reason to keep my notes, once I put all the information I was assured was in here. Once that is true I destroyed them.
