Now on----okay, fine, picture the idea here, sketch an idea, that's good. Now, at the top of page 7, put N for north.

Okay, this is north face of building, like he's right about there (x). #66: Okay. #66: We'll worry about that later. Your north versus compass north is not relevant, as long as north is separate from (mumble) #63: Yeah. Okay, I have an AOL break---of German, World War II uniforms. #66: Just about ready to end now, so I would like you to kind of open yourself up to the signal line and see what comes in here as we rap this up. #63: That's about it, I've drawn a little sketch here again trying to show where I keep feeling where he is. #66: Within in the building? #63: Um, um. #66: Okay. #63: You got that? #66: Okay, we'll do an end there. At this time, I'm going to show you some overhead imagery of a general location. I'd like to now get your opinion and discussion and your feelings about this overhead imagery. #63: All right. #66: Now, I have to caution you that there are some arrows and things on this which may or may not apply, so I don't want you to be prejudged by the arrows on the map. Because they have the words "suspected building" on here, but as we learned late yesterday, this is more like a suspected neighborhood or area versus any one particular building. #63: That feels good. #66: Right, I have the exact (mumble) Approved For Release 6-00788 R001900570001-0 1 I""" Approved For Release 2 -007888001900570001-0 #63: Wooded area and a strange building with things jutting out from it like that, the funny pointed roof on that. #66: Let the tape reflect that the source indicated, without orienting now, has indicated the area of interest yesterday, which I don't feel at liberty to say what it is now, but it's the area of interest yesterday with the, what he described as the Washington Monument like tower next to it which you didn't happen to mention today. Now, yesterday, the photograph you were shown did not show this, it was like that. #63: Um, um. #66: All right. Source has indicated his feeling about the square shaped with the open center. Okay, let's, I'll let you look through the rest of these and we have some different angles here, you can see we're in the same neighborhood. #63: And it's also open from underneath. #66: Okay. source also notes that the square shaped thing is opened from underneath as he sees from this different angle here. #63: Is that a cemetery or something? #66: Yes. Now, we're going to look at another angle here which is about the same. #63: That doesn't look, the straight(mumble) it doesn't look like place they could hold anybody though, it looks like a big open walkway area or something. #66: Okay. I know what it is, so don't worry about it. Now, at this time, using these photographs, let's take your stage 3 sketch and see if we can't orient anything with your stage 3 sketch. The first thing thing we'll do is orient your north with map north. #63: Okay. #66: Okay, now let's orient the word "big road" with big road. Okay, where we orient "big road" we get the big road here and the smaller road to the left, that seems to orient. Now, opposite labeled big road would be the south area, and what do we have in south declaration? Approved For Releas P96-007888001900570001-0 Approved For Release 6-00788RO01 900570001 -0 #63: Wooded, flat wooded area. #66: Okay, let me see, where's your piece here. #63: Let's see, number 8. #66: Page 8. #63: There it is. #66: Page 8, south we should see wooded area and then-- #63: --It comes to an abrupt halt down here on something. #66: ---Unsure road or long building. Okay, if we look to the opposite we see a wooded area, followed by a cemetery here and I can't tell from this photograph, let's look back at something here, ....All we can see is a wooded area and the flat cemetery here and we can't tell what your strange object is. Now all these things are headstones,..is this funny thing, funny squarish things is headstones. #63: I would tend to believe it's something like this, I had the feeling of something long and that it ended the wooded area. #66: Oh, so the wooded area was bounded by something, ay. #63: Um, um #66: Maybe road, maybe something long, okay. And the woods and this. #63: The fenced in area, here. #66: Right. #63: It's long or something. #66: It definitely has a deliberate stop to it though? #63: Yes. #66: Okay, now, so if we, we're going back now to the map orientation, big road matches, small road matches, wooded area matches, let's see what we can find opposite small road, what was supposed to be there? Approved For Release DP96-00788R001900570001-0 Approved For Release 2URUXtLUV 6-00788RO01 900570001 -0 #63: East on mine,, well we should be south on the actual map, I said there was a tall building that has protrusions jutting out from it and it's got sort of a peaked roof on it. #66: We do have a funny shaped building with a very strange roof on it and little strange things on the side and of course we're not concerned with distance, because you're not addressing yourself to distance. #63: Um, um. #66: So we do have what looks like maybe a match in terms of orientation, if we match big road, we get little road, and we get forest and we get funny building with striations, this one here. Let's look at some different angles and see if we can't get size. I can't see from the angles we have how many floors that might be. Now our angles just don't show it. #63: But, (mumble) 2 inches along the side here, I mean it's very definitely like that. #66: Okay. Yesterday,. of note is yesterday when I told you to go to the place, I think you wound up here, if you remember yesterday, you're drawings look a lot like that too, maybe you don't remember yesterday's drawings. And when I asked you to look across the way or across the street, you started talking about the Washington Monument building, which is not more than 50 feet away. I thought I was asking you to do this, but you insisted on talking about this. Now notice when you said surrounded, not only did it have forest surrounding it but it has very deliberate wall around it here. #63: Um, um #66: This whole thing can be considered one unit, I know what this is and this is one function, like Ft Meade is one function, this is one functional entity here. #63: Let's see...now this is what I had as north. #66: North means road to us? #63: Um, um, okay so, north should be big road, right, so the location I have him in is here.

Being this is a singular unit through the day time, you may go all through this area. #63: Um, um. #66: So, I guess we can say, we can end by saying then that you find him on the big road side of the building somehow. The room in which he's located is on the big road side of the building. #63: Let me think, okay. #66: All right. #63: Okay. ........... (mumble) here, there .... yes big road side. #66: Okay, big road side of the building. Now, let's rap it up then. Thank you very much.
