Mr. Fain. At least I have no recollection of having discussed it with him.
Mr. Stern. May we have this report, Mr. Chairman, which has been marked for identification 824, admitted?
Representative Ford. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to, previously marked as Commission Exhibit No. 824 for identification, was received in evidence.)
Mr. Stern. Mr. Fain, I show you a document, a letter from Director Hoover with attachments, which has been marked for identification Commission No. 825. Would you turn to the last two pages and can you tell us what the last two pages constitute?
Mr. Fain. The last two pages constitute an affidavit which I gave to the Houston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Stern. Did you make it at the Houston office?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. What was the occasion of your making this affidavit?
Mr. Fain. I was contacted by Mr. Ed Dalrymple, special agent of the FBI, and he explained to me that he would like to talk to me about this matter. He said he had had an inquiry concerning whether or not I had ever paid this man, Lee Oswald, any money for any information and he asked me if I would be willing to give an affidavit and I said I certainly would be glad to. I came down to the office and gave this affidavit to him on January 29, 1964.
