Mrs. Paine. She did not tell me anything about why.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you have any ideas as to why he might be doing it?
Mrs. Paine. Well, I did suppose the possibility—it is possible that he was worried about it being found out at the School Book Depository that he had a Russian wife. He did ask me to ask Mrs. Randle to ask Frazier not to ask questions, not to discuss the fact that he had a Russian wife with the coworkers at the School Book Depository. I think he felt that, if this was known, it would also become known that he went to Russia and the circumstances of that, and he felt, and this was a sheer guess on my part, and I judge that he felt this would make his job tenure unsure.
Mr. Liebeler. In other words, you do say, however, that Oswald did ask you to ask Mrs. Randle to ask Wesley Frazier not to talk about Oswald's Russian wife at the School Book Depository; is that correct?
Mrs. Paine. That's right; so that my impression is supported to that extent.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ask Mrs. Randle to ask Mr. Frazier to do that?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you know whether or not she did?
Mrs. Paine. She said she had already discussed it and she judged that they would not be talking about it.
Mr. Liebeler. You don't know whether Mrs. Randle ever specifically mentioned it to Frazier after you talked to her?
