Mr. Stern. Tell the Commission what you mean by "the desk," please.
Mr. Fain. The supervisory desk in the Dallas office that handled security-type matters, and this report would go across his desk, and the assignments that would come to me would be made by him.
Mr. Stern. Did you discuss the Oswald case with your desk supervisor at this time, upon the completion of this interview?
Mr. Fain. I don't recall specifically talking to him at this time. If I had been over there in the next few days I imagine I would have talked to him or did talk to him. You see, I was in Fort Worth.
Mr. Stern. Yes.
Mr. Fain. And normally I would dictate my reports, and they would go by mail to Dallas and, of course, we were in telephonic contact, any time anything came up of any problem nature.
Mr. Stern. Would you have discussed the case with your supervisor if you thought that there was a particular and immediate problem?
Mr. Fain. Oh, certainly; yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. Did you think that there was a particular and immediate problem following your interview?
Mr. Fain. Well, I didn't feel satisfied because of his answers there as to why he went to Russia. He was evasive, and that was the reason I set out a lead to have him reinterviewed.
