Mr. Fain. It was always my policy, and I am sure I did in this case, to tell them this substantially, that, "You don't have to furnish us any information. Any information you furnish can be used against you in court, and you have a right to consult with an attorney before giving us any information or statements."

Mr. Stern. Can you actually recall that you said this to Oswald?

Mr. Fain. I don't recall specifically, but I know it was my religious practice to do it because we are always instructed to do that.

Mr. Stern. Fine.

Was the interview with Mr. Oswald recorded mechanically in any way?

Mr. Fain. It was not.

Mr. Stern. How did you record what he was telling you, in your usual fashion?

Mr. Fain. I was sitting behind the desk. He came up and sat down in front of the desk, and Mr. Carter was sitting to my left. We explained to him, we wanted to talk to him. I took the notes, and from my notes I dictated this, which we call an FD-302.

Mr. Stern. This is your memorandum and not Agent Carter's?

Mr. Fain. That is right; I was more familiar with the case. I took the notes and did the dictation.
