Correct, no recording.

I "met" Marian years ago when I used to run Portuguese Genealogy Chat Room
on AOL. She had found something I had written about Alien Registration and
had posted it in the Genealogy Forum. Not to many people had written for
their Alien Registration, so it had a bit of a slanted view. Marian helped
improve that article (which is now on the Azores GenWeb).

She does speak all over the U.S. at various genealogy societies.  So if you
ever get a chance to hear her speak, do!

Here's a blurb I found from a Jewish Genealogy Society about Marian:

Marian Smith is Chief of the Historical Research Branch within the USCIS in
Washington. D.C. She is an Historian who first joined that organization in
1988 when it was the INS.  For many years she was a regular speaker at
national genealogy conferences and the author of genealogical journal
articles about immigration and naturalization history and records.  She now
directs the agency’s History, Library, and fee-for-service Genealogy
programs.

On March 1, 2003, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) assumed
responsibility for the immigration service functions of the federal
government. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) was dismantled
as a result of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. No. 107–296, 116
Stat. 2135) which separated the agency into three components within the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).  The USCIS Genealogy Program is a
fee-for-service program that provides researchers with timely access to
historical immigration and naturalization records of deceased immigrants.
