In a heavily redacted document, the FBI was informed by a "reliable" source that Ruth's sister Sylvia Hyde Hoke was Naval Intelligence and was trying to obtain a top secret clearance: Commission Document 508 - FBI Mansfield Report of 06 Feb 1957 re: Hoke.

A CIA memorandum indicated that Sylvia Hoke was a CIA employee in 1961:   Security File on Sylvia Hoke Hyde, HSCA Segregated CIA Collection, Box 43 / NARA Record Number: 1993.07.24.08:39:37:560310.

Washington Post obituary for John Hoke states that he was fired from AID in 1962: Emma Brown, "A Local Life", 3/19/11
Ruth Paine testified to the Orleans Grand Jury that Hoke was working for AID in 1963:  Ruth Paine's testimony to the Orleans Grand Jury, 4/18/68,   p. 57 , Orleans Parish Grand Jury Transcripts .
These documents show Hoke was working for AID in 1963 and 1964 Request for Approval of Liaison, re John Hoke, 8/22/63, HSCA Segregated CIA Collection, Box 43 / NARA Record Number: 104-10120-10304; 8/13/64, HSCA Segregated CIA Collection, Box 43 / NARA Record Number: 104-10120-10303.

Michael Paine's family also had contact talent in the intelligence arena.  Michael's mother had a close friend named Mary Bancroft who was an OSS spy that slept with Allen Dulles:   Mary Bancroft, Autobiography of a Spy (New York:   William Morrow and Company, Inc., 1983); also see Evica, A Certain Arrogance , p. 248.

Michael and Ruth had ostensibly split up, and were living in different houses:
