Now tell me about the area surrounding the middle. Describe this. #08: As it stands right now, it's newly constructed, it almost looks hygienic, like everything is very clean, very white, protruding from some of the walls are wires, that have not been tied down yet or switches that have not been completed.

The impression of a pipe, about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter, seemed to be of primary concern. Looking into it further, I perceived it to be ready for installation at the foot of the west wall, I'm speaking of the interior of the building. And at about the center of the west wall there' s a curved joint that leads this pipe to about the center of the floor, where the antenna seat and support apparatus is located. The antenna as I saw it, was not installed. So much for sketch #1. #08: Sketch #2 is an attempt to look at the actual construction material of the building. And it seemed to follow the normal patent of normal construction and from the interior to the exterior, we're talking about sheet rock, heavy sheet rock, maybe 3/4 quarter inch, I don't know. Followed by 3 inch fiber glass roll on insulation in between 2x4s with an exterior of 3/4 inch plywood with, I said siding to follow, the siding has not been put on yet. But there's plans, simply plans to put the siding on. Looking for special or specific construction a quirks, so to speak, the only thing I could perceive were metal reenforcements that were screwed to the wall studs and the ceiling, the roof studs. I could see nothing else though. (mumble), we might have brought my attention to a specific form of construction. #66: Okay. This area that you say that is being readied for the installation of some sort of antenna? Is that correct? #08: Yes #66: Okay. Is the building section here that we're exploring partitioned off or are there other things in this room being prepared? #08: The only, what I was looking for was the status construction and the impression I had was of white, very clean walls that you would anticipate after construction (mumble) and shortly before or after painting with a peculiarity and that is a Appovpd r Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00788R001600330001-9 L Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-007888001600330001-9 perceptable, number of wires coming through the sheet rock, particularly at the antenna seat and support, where these things are simply there, but not tied down, but are simply being readied and placed, or they're already in place and all they have to do is be connected to switches and equipment. #66: Okay, if I understand, you talked about 2 sets of wires, some wires that come through the wall. #08: Yeah, those are electrical. #66: And what do you mean be electrical wires? #08: Electrical as opposed to the wires that will service the antenna. #66: Okay . And there are another set of wires that you talked about that are located at the antenna point which is somewhere in the center of the room? #08: Yes, yes, they're the ones that will be embedded into that pipe, not really embedded, but will be covered by this pipe as a protective device. #66: And they seem to be ready to be hooked up to the antenna? #08: Yes . They're just about to install the pipe. The pipe was just brought up, it had not been installed yet. #66: Okay. Anything else? #08: No. #66: Okay, fine.

These wires had not yet been connected (not further identified). A black or dark brown metal conduit pipe, approximately four inches in diameter, had just been brought into the newly constructed area and was to be installed at the foot of the west wall on the inside of the structure. This pipe was to serve as a "safeguard" or protective device for important electronic lines for equipment. In about the center of the west wall, the conduit pipe had a curved joint where the pipe turned and went to about the center of the floor. At this point there was an antenna seat and support apparatus (not further identified). Source anticipated the installation of an intercept antenna (not further identified) on this support apparatus within the next ten days. Source also stated that the wires that would be in the conduit pipe served a different function (not further identified) than the ones which protruded from the walls. Source described the construction of the walls of the structure as consisting of heavy sheet rock on the interior wall with fiber glass insulation placed between "two-by-fours" on the inside of the walls. The exterior of the wall was covered with plywood and there were plans for the later installation of siding (not further identified) . Source thought it peculiar (no reason given) that each roof joist was secured to the frame with metal brackets and screws.
