Mr. Rankin. Now, Mr. Lane, regarding this tape recording of Helen Markham, and your interview with her, will you tell the Commission when you made this?
Mr. Lane. I had a conversation with Mrs. Markham on the 2d day of March of this year.
Mr. Rankin. Where was that?
Mr. Lane. I have given the Commission the results of that investigation to the best of my ability. I think that, again, Mr. Rankin, your question delves into the functioning of an attorney on behalf of a client, and, therefore, is not proper, and, therefore, I decline to answer it.
Mr. Rankin. Will you tell the Commission when you made the tape recording that you referred to?
Mr. Lane. I just answered that question, Mr. Rankin.
Mr. Rankin. And do you refuse to tell, then, anything about that interview with Helen Markham, how you recorded it?
Mr. Lane. I beg your pardon?
Mr. Rankin. And how you recorded it?
Mr. Lane. I should think that since this Commission has been appointed by the President of the United States to secure all of the information regarding the assassination of President Kennedy and other matters peripheral to that, the questions asked of me should be related to information which can be of assistance to the Commission, and should not be the kind of questions, Mr. Rankin, that you have put to me.
