Appears they just...just finished eating. They had a table there with ...table there with dishes and stuff, paper... There's, they just finished eating. #66: Do you recognize any of the hostages? +03 1: Saw a young...two of 'em are very young...19-20...but I don't, I'get a feeling of communications, the one he's got blond hair, it's either blond or sandy colored hair, the Navy type, but he's not a Marine, he's just young... there's another'young person there. I think these two were like, uh, into communications or something. #66: Tell me what makes you say this. #01: Something that came in my head while I was looking at them. Another one's got light brown hair and a moustache, a beard. Not much of a beard, but he's got a beard. There's a..... another Navy person, but he's older...too civilians...feel- ing they're... they're like just in a room together, they just finished eating. There's no guards in the room, but there's guards in the hallway... outside.

The guards outside are. #66: Tell me the numbers in both locations. #01: Just a minute, I'm try-in' to get this room squared away here...-where it's at..... Three guards with arms, left side of the building behind a wall by.some trees. There's two guards-with arms just inside the door to the building. It's like the end of a corridor or something. There's like a...a waiting area, and there's two guards there. They're not armed...it's outside the room. Getting my floors mixed up. I think this is a split level building, someway. Like the ground floor is part in the ground and part not in the ground..... The small rooms are like around the corner from the waiting area. This big room, I think, is a...I can't, I can't, uh...I'm keep trying to make it a dining room, but it's not. It's like an old conference room. I get a...get the impression this...this is an old wire service or press building or something. #66: Tell me what makes you say this. #01: Like, uh...squares of newsprint on the wall. Small frames. I just, the feeling ...just the feeling like it's a old press room or press building. #66: You're saying this because of the framed newsprint you see on the wail? #01: That and the feeling ...just feel like. There's also a room there with a lot of communications equipment. Telephones and switchboards and like photocopy equipment...the drums... like photo facsimile equipment. #66: Okay. Now, other than the eight hostage personnel and the guards you've mentioned, are there any other personnel in the building? #01: No. I don't see anybody else. #66: I have no further questions. I'd like you now to comment as you see fit. #01: Strikes me as being kind of a jovial atmosphere, like everybody's talkin' and havin' a good time. I don't sense any depression.... Get a feeling like this is a building I was in before, had a wall around it from the front. Some kind of a oval window...doors like a rust red color, and outside the building is like a off color yellow. That's all I get.

Remembering your perceptions clearly, let's prepare to draw those impressions that you've had. 7ftv #O1: Okay, just a minute..... Okay. Okay, evidently zeroed down to a section of the building that these folks were in, and there's a lot of things, feeling I get about the interior of the building that don't seem to...don't appear like they're gonna agree with the exterior, but I wanna draw it the way I see it. Had a feeling like I was looking down a...a corridor, if you went down. ..this is gonna be a little complicated at first... to a right hand turn, sort of...I felt like there was a... like this, uh ............... That's wrong. Let me start this again. The problem I'm having with this is there's a lot of decorative glass in the section that I was in, where you can see the outside. The view I'm gonna draw is if I was suspended in the air near the ceiling looking down, because that's where I was. I'm tryin' to readjust it to eye level, but I can't do it. So I'll give you that view. #66: All right. #01: It's like I was looking down on a row of glass squares in a hallway... going out to the right. And these were very large, because they are, they were like standing up against them, they were the full size of a man, like big picture windows. Only outside of this, this picture window effect, was hedges and garden, like. Very bright sunlight coming through these windows. And this went down like that. And this way was a wall, and then the other side of the wall went that way. This was a floor here. This is like look- ing through the floor on top...this wall ...like this, with a door, set at a very odd angle in the corner of the room, back like this. And then here was the large table.. .with big easy seats... sitting around the room. These are where the hostages were. #66: This is the table on which you said previously you saw plates and food or something? hol: Yeah... And, uh, try and get this right now, there's like a slight turn here. And there's these steps that go up like this along that one wall to a landing, and then go up this way to the next floor. And this curve in the building right here is also glass so you can see out. But there's a door right to the left here, a doorway, should say. Goes like that...this landing is down here like this... these steps go up. Does this make any sense? You know, like... #66: Watching you draw it I can understand.

And then there's a corridor here, and this wall goes back this way. I get the feeling like these are rooms over here. This is an exterior wall where all the glass is. And this is like an old conference room. Now there's two guards here but they don't have weapons. This is a door. This is glass windows. Okay. Looking from the top I get an impression that it's like, sort of like...something less than a perfect angle. This'll be page two. And, uh, this is the door at point A on page one, this is the door at point A. This is the glass win- dows, they're on the side. And then this room...is like this, and this is a hallway, and these are rooms over here. And, uh, somewhree over in here there's more rooms but I couldn't get back over into there. And this is the big... big room with the hostages. And I felt like this main entrance was this way. I'll put it on both sheets. #66: Okay, so- #01: The exterior...garden. You know, like a more angular intersection of walls than- #66: This is why you were concerned that it doesn't fit with the pictures? #Ol: Yeah, and it doesn't seem to fit the pictures of the build- ing I've seen, or there might be parts of the building that are hidden from sight that I don't see in the picture. But this is a...like page one is clearly the view I had, and I was looking down into the second floor through the third floor, or attic floor or whatever, third floor, I guess. That confused me too. I kept tryin' to make three floors and couldn't, I kept tryin' to make two floors and I couldn't, and I was comin' up with two and a half floors. And that's why I keep thinking maybe it's split level. You know, one, two and three, the second being split leveled off, the first and third. This could be the second floor, and I was looking down through the ceiling of the second floor into this area sort of obliquely, and, uh, the entranceway I got a feeling was...I'm gonna do a side view. I got a feeling like the entranceway was, uh...let's see if I can do this right now...from the side it appeared to be just a small portion, just an in element of the build- ing, I had a feeling like this would be the entrance door, just a small red door, rust colored do r. And that there was, uh...some decorative metal iron or something, here, which mighta had some sign or something between it. I don't know what. This was also brick. #66: Where is this again?

And looking past it on both sides but set away from the wall in which the entrance door is set was a split level section that came nutlike this...like this, and that there was like hedges, and...garden. And I felt like there was like a wall here, and, uh...these are just different sections of the building that went back from the end...wait a second, now, there's one other thing that's missing here, and I haven't recalled it..... I know what it is- no windows on this end. The entrance end I see no windows. #66: As opposed to where you- #Ol: As opposed to all kinds of glass where I was. #66: Okay. #01: And, uh...all this entranceway. #66: And this is where there- you found two armed guards, at the entrance? {mil: #66: Yeah, uh... If I recall, you said that-- #01: There were some others too. Wait a second and I'll tell you where they were at. Two armed guards here, and over here in the garden was three more... And, uh...the thing that I remember now is it didn't have any windows from the entrance end, that's a little confusing, 'cause the...just nothing but bright sunlight windows, you know, on the hall- way side. And the hallway seems like an odd shape. #66: Okay, speaking of- okay, you say sunlight. What time of day did you perceive it to be when you were there? #Ol: It's like very, very, very late in the afternoon, you know, when the sun's sitting right on the horizon and almost your entire interior walls are lit because the win- dows have no protection, it's just, you know, this real hot afternoon sun blasting in. Late, late afternoon, like the sun's about to set.... The building's essentially a light yellow color. I had a feeling it was an old news- #66: You talked about several pieces of equipment. #Ol: -like a wire service building or something, you know, like a United Press or UPI, or something, type building. That's about it, I guess. Approved For Release 200 6-00788R001000170001-3 Approved For Release 2000/08/ R001000170001-3 #66: Okay. I'd like you to comment a little bit more on the particular hostages themselves. You talked about two of them being young, or Navy, and. so forth. #01: I was tryin'- whenever I tried to identify the hostages I try to look for differences, and, uh, the only differences I could feel were two being Navy, and young as compared to the rest. And then I was able to break out that one of 'em had a beard. And then I perceived there was another Navy person there, not a Marine, And, uh, you know, not so young. And then I was, you know, I get a little confused then because I'm struck by the similarity of all the people that are hostages. It's like they're all, one person, for some reason. Like there's all one identity there, or the differences are falling away or something. Just for some reason I couldn't perceive any more differences. And, uh, I was also struck by a feeling of...not a hostage type atmosphere, but a jovial type atmosphere -like ...this is our early evening get together, you know, what are we gonna do tonight, play cards, or what? That kind of thing. #66: Okay. #01: And that they had just finished eating. #66: So, you still feel there's eight hostages? #01: Yeah, there's eight people in there that are hostages. #66: Tell me a little about the individual personalities that you picked up. Three Navys, two civilians- #01: Two civilians, I was able to perceive there was two civilians... that's all I can get. #66: Okay. #01: It's like they're all running together for some reason. #66: Anything else you want to add that- #01: Just that the- my perception of the interior doesn't appear to match the photo exterior, but that's only one view of the exterior, so...you got it the way I see it. #66: Okay, fine. That'll do it, then.
