The testimony of Ruth Hyde Paine was taken at 9:15 a.m., on March 21, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C., by Messrs. Albert E. Jenner, Jr., and Norman Redlich, assistant counsels of the President's Commission.

Mr. Jenner. Let the record show that this is a continuation by deposition pursuant to leave granted by the Commission of Mrs. Paine's testimony before the Commission which we had concluded late in the day yesterday.[1]

[1] The testimony of Mrs. Ruth Paine given before the Commission appears in another volume, and can be found by consulting the Index.

I think it might be well, in view of that transition, if Mrs. Paine were sworn again, or if you were affirmed, rather.

The Reporter. Do you affirm that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Mrs. Paine. I do.

Mr. Jenner. I think we might cover your background to some extent, Mrs. Paine.

Mr. Jenner. My material indicates that you were born in New York City.

Mrs. Paine. That is right.

Mr. Jenner. In 1932.
