#6.5 Tell me what makes you say that.
#19.5 1 don't know. Strong feeling .... a gut feeling.,
#6.5 Ok. Why don't you just relax now.... relax.... sit
up and draw (not audible)
#19.5 I got a tremendous feeling it's very cold this night
in Teheran.
(Drawing)
#19.5 The image I'm getting in this room is a brick wall
on this side with no windows. It's not a very good
brick wall but ......with this in wall being like a
tan wall and this wall having a door down at the other
end.... this being like a heavy wooden door. Back
here is like a cot typea_'very low cot type thing. And
there's one person sleeping on this cot. How do you
like that for sleeping person. And then there's another
cot type.-this is a very fancy drawing.... sleeping
there. I get a real strong impression, for some reason,
that there was a third person in this room, up to like
two days ago, three days ago or something. And, they
got moved .... I guess what gives me that feeling....I
feel like there's been a third person sharing.with these
people. I don't know how to explain that. But, it's
like....uh....I don't know. Maybe it's the way they're
thinking or something. Strong impression there was a
third person sharing their problem.
As you come out of this room....Oh, and there's like
....uh....there's a brown rug with a print design.
.It's not a wall-to-wall rug., it fills
most of the room, but, it's..uh..you know itts one of
these that goes up to the edge of the walls....and..
chat's"a tan wall. Thisis sort of a light red
brick.

It's the only door into that
That room on page one.
I got the feeling like .... ok, I'll draw this room...
I got the feeling like you came out of the door of
this room and there was a hallway and I went to the
left and there was another room just exactly identical
to the left... and, we'll call this room page one.

nd this room was the furniture room. Just had a
U whole bunch of furniture in there. Now, this is a
difficult part, because I am not entirely sure how
I was seeing this fire door. I got the impression
that this hallway went to the right and there was
like a fire door here or something with a push bar.
This hallway made like an L, and this was part of
another L that went like this. This was outside and
this is inside, and after you made the left in the
hallway, where this arrow is, I went down-here. This-
wall, for some reason I got the impression the walls
is divider. You know, like it was a fake wall, you
now, and you went down the end of this hall and
made another left, and on your immediate right was
big glass double doors. and on your left was like small
sets of double doors...went down the front like that.
Like maybe this was an open area inside. Entry doors
right here.
#6.5 Let's go back here to this turn in here that you...
#19.5 You see what I'm talking about. It's like an L
fastened to an L with a zig zag.
#6.5 OK. I just (mumbling) this side like (not audible)
and this is another hallway. You go down......
#19.5 I got the impression that this is another hallway
,and over here, going down this section of hallway '
!going towards the glass entry doors on this side,;
is like a -large room. There was a reception area"or
something.
#6.5 All right. So this area back in here we can describe
as being part of a U. Like a horseshoe.
#19.5 Yeah. You know there's a horseshoe section of this
building because this is clearly outside and I got
...I came down here. I was given the impression of
some kind of a garden. OK..and I was trying to go
over the building to see what was on the other side
and I was running into this blank wall. These blank
..this horseshoe blank walls on the inside here,
and I wasn't getting over the building. That clearly
was some kind of a reception or something. The entire
building is very dark except for this back hallway in
the room back here
#6.5 Let's stay on that second page. What do you mean
except for this back hallway as far as lighting goes?

#19.5 I got the feeling there was subdued lighting in
this back hallway. Furniture room and room that I
drew on page one and that as soon as I made this turn
in the hallway up here, the only thing that were on
were..uh..you know these fire emergency light type
things-that you could walk around this whole building
and everything was very dark.
#6.5 OK. Then you went outside the building.
#19.5 Right. By the glass entry doors...I got the feeling
that .... ok.... on page three ...now, I don't know if this
is an;.. accurate description of the design of the
building but looking at it from the front angle-I'll
show you the perspective that I was getting. I was

corner. I was getting that impression number symbol.
#6.5 Oh, I see what you...ok..like a tick-tack-toe pattern.
#19.5 Right. Exactly. That's-that's the impression I was
getting of the front of this building. And there was
th,it corner,/over here, and I got the impression the

clear about the wall I've got the S's on...and this was
a garden here.. .and back here was a hole ...some kind of
a buryier...I didn't want to go through, for some reason,

flat against them...what I was looking at was something!
#19.5 I don't know what that was. It was just like a
void. I don't ...you know.....it...it was just like
there was nothing there. I don't know if I was trying
to bar that out of my mind or ..... I just .... it was like
a void.
#6.5 Where are these fire doors that you saw?
#19.5 Oh. There were trees here. Where I draw in these
two trees ...(mumbling) was a profusion of trees in
both corners .... and...uh..this was clearly a garden
back here where the guards were. There appeared to
be some kind of a fire door. I guess I'll mark those
with Xs and circles. There's a fire door here, there's
a fire door here, there's a fire door here, and a fire
door here. That's the impression that I had. These
were doors-flat faced..no exterior hardware and I'm
assuming them to be fire doors. You know, they could
have been ..... I don't know.....a place.where you pick
up the garbage, or something..... and...uh...I got the
impression this was a walk path. Like you couldn't..
you couldn't drive up here .... and...uh...let's see....
it all.....oh!.... it's a flat roof. For some reason
that's important... flat roof.
#6.5 OK. Then you talked about this path and you said there
was another building at the end of the path.

Where is this building over here? The building that
you've been in. That's back in here, someplace.

doors of the building on page three looking straight

OK. That's what I wanted to get on....
Yes. And...it...it's like a tunnel affect going
through these trees. At the very end you could see
two of the four guards standing at the face of another
building. You know. With the white steps at the end
and the..uh..face of the other building is..is a real
conceptually ......kind it's like a mind boggler.....
I got the impression of a..uh..a block in a block.
Like a block laying down on a block laying across the,
top- This being supported off the ground and this
being like steps. Two large carved decorative doors
*l'-J with some kind of a glass... decorative panel or somethin
down the side...and..uh..there was like a guard over,

#6.5 Two. You said all those guards were armed.
#19.5 These .... for some reason I noticed weapons on these
four in front of this building. I didn't ...I didn't
J notice weapons on these guys.-..in the garden...but
maybe-the guys in the garden were bundled up alot
warmer than these guys are. At least it felt like
it. Appeared to be. But, they're all wearing real
strange.......
#6.5 It was cold, huh.
#19.5 Oh. Very. Freezing. First time I've gotten that
feeling. It was very cold. Page six. I decided
that I can't draw this guy #6.5.
#6.5 Well, I don't think we should even worry about doing
that. What we'll do is I'll put this thing on pause,
after you're through and I'll give you a bunch of

have a picture of him you would be able to pick him
out. OK.
#19.5 Certainly.
#6.5 Why don't we do it that way and then we'll come
back on, you know,and we'll make it a matter of

You have anything else that you want to add?
#19.5 NO.We'll just stop at page five.
#6.5 All right. We are back on now. OK. I have shown
you all the photos that I have, ok, and you have
come down and had two possibilities of all them that
you thought might have been, ok. I want you to study
them, now, and see what you think, you know. And, if
you can't make a selection, don't worry about it.
#19.5 One the eyes don't look right, and one the nose don't
look right. But, it could be the photographs.
They both had the same hair line. They both had the
same ears.....same mouth ...g`eneral mouth, you know...
same throat area. I'd rather not make a decision.
If I had to say, I'd say it wa this person before
...I favor that one. But, th/other one is also
very close to...
#6.5 Ok. For the record, then, I'll say, you know, he's
..uh..tentatively identified out of the two..uh..
Steven M. Lauterbach as being the most likely of the
two, and the other one being a Mr. William Belk.
Interesting because there is a considerable--difference?
in their age, too. OK. So one of these two is-the
