Mr. Stern. Were there any other questions you put to him that he refused to answer?
Mr. Clements. Toward the conclusion of the interview and after he had been absent and returned I continued with the questions of past residence and past occupations. He responded to my questions. At a time when I asked him as to his present occupation he hesitated and told me that he thought the obtaining of his description and background information had become somewhat prolonged. He said that he had refused to be interviewed by other law enforcement officers previously, and that he had no intention of being interviewed by me. He continued that he knew the tactics of the FBI. He stated there was a counterpart or a similar agency in Russia, that I was using the soft touch, where the approach of a Russian agency would be different, but the tactics would be the same.
Mr. Stern. At that point did he stop answering questions?
Mr. Clements. No; at that point I asked the same question that I had asked previously, and he answered.
Mr. Stern. Did the interview continue beyond that?
Mr. Clements. That was substantially the end of the interview.
Mr. Stern. Were there other persons present besides the two Dallas police officers who were guarding him?
Mr. Clements. No.
Mr. Stern. At either time, either before or after he had been withdrawn from the lineup?
Mr. Clements. No.
