Mr. Paine. We have a roll of gummed wrapping paper at home but this is 3 inches wide and we have 2-inch wide. Do you have a ruler here? Yes, this is 3-inch tape.
Now I don't remember for certain what the tape is we had at home, but I had the impression it was a 2-inch tape.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you have any recollection that the authorities inquired about this question before?
Mr. Paine. No, I don't recall that question at all.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you still have that tape?
Mr. Paine. Yes, we do.
Mr. Liebeler. I would like to have you make sure that it doesn't get lost when we come down to Dallas within the next week or two. We will ask you some more questions about it.
Mr. Paine. All right. Do you want me to make a note of it?
Mr. Liebeler. In fact, I will ask you if you would, when you return to Irving, if you would take a sample of that tape and mail it to me at the Commission so that between now and the time I come to Texas the FBI will have an opportunity to examine it and compare it with the tape which has been used in making bags. Do you recall whether that tape was at your premises on November 22?
Mr. Paine. I think so. It has been there for quite a long time. That is presumably. I don't think it has been used up. I was using it fairly recently. I didn't use much so it would still be there, and I think it had been a big roll and now it is a small roll. We don't use much.
