Mr. Fain. Oh, no; no. Actually he invited us in when we stopped him. He said, "Won't you come in the house?" And I said, "Well, we will just talk here. We will be alone to ourselves and we will be informal, and just fine." So he got in the car with Agent Brown.
Mr. McCloy. Was he actually less truculent than he had been before?
Mr. Fain. Yes; he had actually settled down. He had gotten a job at Leslie Machine Shop, and he wasn't as tense. He seemed to talk more freely with us.
Mr. McCloy. He indicated that he had been or his wife had been in constant communication with the Soviet Embassy here?
Mr. Fain. Well, he told me on the previous interview that he would have to get in touch with the Russian Embassy and let them know that his wife was in this country, and to let them know his address, and I asked him if he had done that, and he said he had in this second interview. He said he would have to contact them. The way he termed it, his phraseology was, that the Soviet law was that a person in her position coming over here, a citizen from Russia, must notify the Soviet Embassy of her current address, and he said that should be done periodically.
Mr. Stern. Did you discuss his discharge from the Marine Corps?
Mr. Fain. We actually went over substantially everything we had asked him before.
Mr. Stern. Did he seem concerned about that?
Mr. Fain. The fact that he had been given the unfavorable discharge? I believe now, I don't recall just exactly whether I asked him right at that time whether there had been any disposition of that, and maybe I did.
Mr. Stern. The third paragraph on page 4 refers to that, and I just wondered if you could say more about it.
