Mr. Fain. Yes, sir. We wanted to find out the circumstances and about these funds and any information we could ascertain and, of course, it is always important in this type of case to find out whether or not any of these—especially intelligence agents or anyone like that might contact these people and try to get information from them. We try to get these people to let us know if anything like that happens.
Representative Ford. That was really the purpose of the interview or investigation you conducted?
Mr. Fain. Let me see if I can find out. In this paragraph 4 there is an indication——
Representative Ford. Paragraph 4 on what page?
Mr. Fain. Paragraph 4 on page 2. "He stated he had no contact in any manner or form with any individual known to him to be a Soviet official or affiliated in any way with Soviet establishments. He also advised that as far as he knows neither his mother or other members of his family had had any contact whatsoever with Soviet officials or with Soviet establishments."
I explained to him the jurisdiction of the FBI, that the FBI had jurisdiction in internal security matters in the United States, and Robert told me that he would immediately contact the FBI in the event he was contacted by Soviet officials. Then I also asked him, as is contained in that final paragraph on the same page, "Oswald stated that neither he nor his mother as far as he knew had been requested to furnish any items of personal identification to Lee Oswald in Russia. He said he would immediately contact the FBI in the event any information like that came to his attention."
Representative Ford. These were the only interviews you had with either one of them?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir; at that time, yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. Can I ask a question?
Mr. McCloy. Did you have one at any other time?
