#10.5: I'll try again........ again ...... ummm........ I keep getting
a guy that looks like Abraham Lincoln, and the kid that
looks like a guy I know.......... Okay. I'll go to work on
the guards.
#10.5: Ummm..... got a walking guard upstairs. He...... walks up and
down the heall. Has a.....automatic weapon on his shoulder,
1!casually draped over his shoulder. He walks back and forth
........okay. I'm on the move now. I'm in.... uh.... overhea
sitting area. There's only one guard in the hall. And
elverhead sitting area was a rail overlooking the..... uh......
ntrance to the lobby. Curved railing. Haven't got anybod
up here. Guard leans over the railing and yells down in the
lobby talking..........and he's talking right straight down.
Sort of below of there is that box thing, I didn't see it when
I came in, but it's there now.......got a couple guys
fitting there with ....... uh....... feet draped up on .....uh...
desk and he's sort of chatting then leaning over the rail....

other wing.
#10.5: Some feller's (phonetic) up here sitting room...not ch-cheap
plastic dayroom furniture and overstuffed type thing.
I'm going downstairs, and right through the center of the
lower ...okay ...ummm...any (mumbling) square here .............
It's got a table in front of it. And, it's got a door in
the back of it and bullshitting with the people upstairs.
I did not have the table. This is no table. There was a
table somewhere around here, and uh, they are moving all.....
darken in there....... security the least intent there than
before, and right now, I want to say is this guy down at the
end of the ground level floor hall, leaning against, leaning
against the........... wall. He's not hiding. He's just
sort of leaning against the hall sort of looking back up
towards to the central lobby, and he's like down at the
end which is the dumb place to be. Four guys. This is it.
Now, Outside....... I'm still getting ...ummm...I want

#10.5: Hummmmmml m in the place that's got the woods outside.
Ummm.....path through the woods. Think that's where I am.
I think I recognize the building from before. And,......
uh.....definitely less security than five, six months ago,
because I think there are fewer people here. It doesn' t
seem like this is the many people packed in here is to
begin with......but, I think I'm on the compound, and I'm
in the place where........ some woods outside, and, you
know, I could go back through......uh......other reports
and find it. That's about it. Don't feel there's anybody
outside like there was before. There were a couple of skulkers
in the woods before, but there's none there now in the
immediate area, anyway. There's none around here. That's
about it for me.
#14: Okay. #10.5. Very good. You had a good session. End of
session. We'll be ready for debrief in a few seconds.
#10.5: Okay.
#14: We are now ready for debrief.

type description ...... uh...... okay ............
#14: Sure.

mentioning some kind of leaning over railing, box like
thing, and....... uh...........

#10.5: Yeah, that was like ...... yeah, that was when I started
looking for guards, yeah, okay. Uh..... okay, it's ..uh..
There is some funny box like thing there....this. ... It's
as though the damn thing sits in the middle of the room.
I don't know if I've made this up and carried it with me
throughout this project or not, but there's something
there like a booth that sits in the middle of the damn.....
and, in front of this booth here, I've drawn the table........
and, I had the feeling during the session that there were
two guards there, okay. Uh...... believe in the back, farther
behind back from that booth is where the wall is, and that
there is...... like that wall continues, and then there's
something goes back like that. Hallway in on the left,
on the left side.....ah.....on the right side is..... a straight
up..... okay .... straight up staircasing, okay, and there's
the wall like that, okay .......and then in the background
of that (scratching noise on tape) ..... on this level here,
actually, I suppose it probably comes up a little bit more
than that, there is the, let me see now, if I'm down a little
bit, then the perspective would be..... there's this feeling
of a.....you know, the overhang of the upper deck ......came in,
in the background here, and then the hall goes off again. So,
this wall continues on up, and this wall continues on up.
This wall continues on up like that, and this wall continues
on up and would make a how (phonetic) in there, and that goes
back like that, and there is a....uh....okay, I had this
feeling of.........
#14: Yeah! We're done (Somebody interrupted session debriefing)
#10.5: Huh! Okay, ....okay, okay, and then down in under, and
behind the stair, okay, so we end up with hall, hall.
Throughout this entire thing, now, I've probably run
against this target and recollecting, maybe four or five
times or better in:~this project...I have never been in this
end of the building. I have always been in the right end
everytime I've ever been down there. I don't know if I can't
go down there or if there's just nothing of interest.
#10.5: Windows across the back of the upper deck like that. Okay?
And, then here, this is what I referred to as the lounge
area upper deck, and this is a curved balcony overlooking
lobby-central downstairs room.....front entrance is out
of the foreground of the picture. I suppose if I did that.....
okay, this damn box thing, I swear it's there. It's some
sort of a booth or something there which be.....uh......
I forgot to put my microphone on, I apologize. I'm going
to turn the..uh..turn the tape recorder down. You'll be
able to hear me regularly now whoever is typing this or
whatever.

#10.5: Umm..and, there's some sort of a rear door out of the box.
I saw a guy walk out of there. Okay? The damn thing's
been there. It's always been there, and I don't know if
it's just some BS that I'm carrying with me through this
project. Okay? That's sketch one. Oh! I'm sorry. Then
there's a hall goes that way, and then there's a hall, okay.
#14: Could you give me some type of overhead type sketch locating
the rooms where you found these...uh...the hostages?
#10.5: Okay. Okay. On sketch two I will draw the right side of
sketch one......... It's on the left here is the lobby, and
it's the upstairs lounge, okay. And, then, like back tucked
back up like this-the booth..okay, and the table, okay.
I think the wing is only five long.... I didn't get across
the hall, so I don't know. So I go to those in...dotted lines,
okay...uh...Ahern. There's some sort of a box here, and
he is alone in bed. No one else, this is a...like a booth.
I think this might be like a schrank.......
#14: Closet.
#10.5: Closet or a..uh..maybe a oilet pe thing, and the door is
like here. Okay? Uh...th one down, I went down, I
felt the bed was on the left side. I did riot .... I didn't
have a feeling for booth, but then I could see him directly.
Maybe there is a booth there. So, I'll dot that in. Okay?
And, this is the guy that I will identify later, where the
X is. Okay? Now, in the third room to the left, when I
started, I started at Ahern, and I went, one and left one
more. I had...I didn't get any room layout, but I had the
pictures of the guy that looked like Abraham Lincoln, and
the...a guy that looks like a guy I know. Okay? So,
it's two Xs. I'll call that X-one and in this room, there's
X-two and X-threc. All right. And, I did not get a layout
feeling. But, I felt that, I felt that Ahern and this other
guy who...... the name Bob came to mind.... (mumbling) session
Bob was....they were alone, and then when I got into the
next room down I had two feelings. Okay?
#10.5: Pillar, pillar, and this is......upstairs lounge. Is
that what. you need? Now, okay. I had the feeling that the
guard which in sketch one is leaning over the rail BS'ing, was
in reality a walker ..... okay? ...... The attitude there was
much more relaxed, and the guard d down the
hall, and he just, JAnhad thi automatic wea Like
this. Un...FAN or AL. I forget cronym is. Just
sort of like drape rig t shoulder... and, he was
just plodding along. You know. He wasn't at port arms......
always on the alert. You still got half a tape left here.
Okay for two.

#10.5: Now, the downstairs... In sketch two I've drawn the up-/'
%.O,
stairs hall. Okay? And, on the upper part of sketch two
let me draw the downstairs hall. If you want me to. It's
just the mirror image, it's just a repeat of that. Except
that in the downstairs hall there was only one guard as well.
And he was like standing down at the far end of the hall,
which I thought was a very dumb position. Because granted
they could get anybody in a cross fire that broke out of
that room, but they would waste each other in the process,
because they'd have, they'd be shooting at each other.
##14: Okay, but did you have a feeling there were hostages down--
stairs?
#10.5: Well, no, I didn't have the real f-, I didn't see or feel
any hostages down there.
#14: Okay.
#10.5: Okay. I didn't...I...by that time, by the time I got down-
stairs I was looking only for guards though. Okay.
f#14: Okay. I think that's good enough.
#10.5: Okay, an e other thing about it is- for nol the
debrief/hg- is I felt three significant changes, I h.ink.
The... he hostage density did not appear to be as extens?
or as h? h level as my earlier sessions in this place.
Earlier s-,;fselanc that they were= two
to a room, and that all rooms in at least the right wing
were occupied. But here there was like one, and- one to
a room and didn't ap a ce...hostage population.
T er significant change is the guarding has become mt.
are relaxed, possibly because of a lower density of hos-
tages. But the guarding activitic_tead of
tab-l-as -there g"uaa- UT can fortify themselves an e
k..2 eg fields of fire down a hall, they now have fewer guar
an the guars, some o em just walk up an own th-e-TFa-lls.
Which makes them more vulnerable. Okay. But they've relaxed.
That makes the guards more individually vulnerable. But
they themselves have relaxed....
Huh, we gonna say three things. I think the third one that
I would want to say is that every time again that I've
worked against this building, or end . ding,
I really have not been interested i the left wing. kay?
And I'll ...one more g. Gua downstairs... leaning.
Okay. I'll write t o "G"s at the LWA&~ Two guards. The
guard on the right . -ave"Tieadache too. Uh...That's
about it... Okay. What do we got now? Pictures?
#14: Um, I've got an overhead picture of the compound.

#10.5: Well, yeah... Well, I'll tell you, what I will say-
#14: Maybe this is-
##10.5: -is it's the-z6bet lij;~K
#14: confusion.
#10.5: Well, it's the...I, it's the one where wh16 you walk out this
door you walk through a thing in the wo s. And you walk
way- you walk down through the woods. can identify it
in another session. I can correl - th se sessions for you.
But I'd have to say it's buildin "A" Okay. Right off
the top of my head the configurat' and the nearness of
woods leading to what I would expect to be a gate, is "A",
the Embassy. Okay. But now that I am looking at that build-
ing in this manner, and that from the, from the wooded side
looking at the Embassy, the right side is the right wing
where the hostages are. On the second level. At least on
the second level. Now there is some confusion in my mind
as to whether I'm warehouse or Embassy. I'll state that.
ay. But o n.4, I at 0.. ell, I, you know,
you've never, I do not know where I was before. So this is
probably not the right thing for us to do.
#14: Right.
#10.5: Because I've never been told where I was before, so there-
fore-
#14: I just wanted, I just wanted you to get a spontaneous feel-
ing.
#10.5: Yeah. Yeah, well the spontaneous feeling is automates lly
this long, elongated building with the square in it. That
was the first place I looked at when you showed me the photo-
graph.
#14: Good. And, uh, at this time I would like you to look through
the photographs-
#10.5: Is there anything in here that you don't want me to see?
#14: Hostage personnel-
#10.5: Okay, then I'll just-
#14: -to see if we can identify some. Okay, we're ready to con-
tinue.
#10.5: Okay. So, mo fro at's-his-name's place, Ahern's

#10.5: he had glasses . NI) in my identification process, here-
and his name as Be In my identification process here I
overlooked w t' lis'name? Blucker, 'Cause he wasn't
wearing glasses, I think, is'"M -rte why I didn't identify
him on the way through the first couple times. Um...I
believe that they guy next to Ahern on the left is Blucker
And I believe he wears glasses, and that like they might
be reading glasses that he just wears, and so that's why
they're not shown on the photograph. Uh, okay, that's that.
The other, other guy, at was the guy's name? I had
#14: Right,
#10.5: Mor.efiei4 because he has the, essentially the same physical
configurations, and he has a widow's peak, and he was wear-
ing glasses. But his hair is dark, and he appears to me to
be a younger man. Even though he has a full face, he appear
a younger man. And he just did not fit. And as #14 can
say, I went back through and through and through the damn
pictures, you know, lookin' for the right guy. Okay.
Um, moving to the left one more room where "X2" and "X3"
is on sketch 2, uh, the spontaneous images were those I've
picked out here. The guy that looks like Abraham Lincoln
is Gary E. Lee. Okay? Always pull him out. There's no
way to mistake that. And Subic , who reminds me of a former
close friend of mine. Okay. So I always manage to pull
that out. I feel real firm about those. And this guy here,
John Earl Graves, is there somewhere. And the reason he's
there somewhere is that when I was working between the room
with Blucker, and the room with, urn, Subic and Lee, okay,
I got, I got this, I was working, trying to resolve who the
guy was in there, and the first ima was the nose.
That nose. You see that nose on raves?
#14: Mm-hmm.
#10.5: It's inflamed and red, sort of bulbous. So, the- what I'm
saying is the, that Graves is in there somewhere. Now he
might be in the room with Subic. Okay? Or he might not
be. But the bulbous nose and the full beard, there may be
some overlap between the Graves and the Lee. One of the
two of 'em are there and the other one might be next door.
#14: Okay.
#10.5: It's that bulbous nose. And I know what it's like to have
that, 'cause, uh...it doesn't mean the guy's an alcoholic
or anything, but it's a viral skin infection. And my father
had it.
#14: Okay. Is there anything else, uh, you can think of for
debrief.

#10.5: Um, the only thing I'd like to add is that even the outside
in earlier session, outside in the woods I had said that
there were, in the lobby, two or three people watching eager-
ly out the front windows...of the place, inn the main place.
And... side, stepped out in the woods that there were
o or two guards. These, these feelings and these
i s did not come through this time. There was nobody
lurking around outside as they had earlier. That's all I
have to add. ~.?~
