#66: Oh, I see, all right.
#01: Shaped like a "Y".
PAUSE
#66: All right, I have no further questions about this particular
target, but I would like you...to provide you the opportunity
at this time to comment as you see fit.
+15 #01: Looks very much like ah...motel of some kind. Not unlike one
you would find in CONUS somewhere. But it is a very, ah...
we...ah...private type motel. Exclusive type. It's for long
term guests, possibly some kind of a rest home or something...
that nature. I don't have anything else.
#66: All right, I want you to review once again the imagery that you
had, especially the exterior of the building and its loca-
tion ...ah...in relationship to it's surroundings and when you
are ready 1 want you to draw those perceptions that you had.
#01: Okay. This is page one. I'm going to try and work this from
the outside - in I think and start by doing an overview and
work my way inside.
#66: All right.

were broken up into large resid tial lots, with the, ah...

#01: the page...page two being the square. I feel like the entrance
was at the bottom of the page and sort of did this sort of
thing. Like a wing with a blunt nose and a formal covering
that came out like that with a covering that came back here...
There was a large awning area over here, flat roofed, this
was a...like a turn around area. Parking area. With a park-
ing area over here in the back. This sort of thing.
And this was the entrance down here and this paved area had
an access back here, it was like a small alley type of road
that went like this, and it was like a, a...access road that
came in like that from the alley. And then there was a....
was a wall that went down, down this way, a very tall wall
like concrete wall, gate back here to get in, and a...then the
wall went also like this, trying to figure out how this inter-
locked....... and angled off this way...and that this was all
trees out here and garden. This...this is all garden...and
trees.
And this part down here had a very large hedge that went away
on both sides. It had a very private and secluded type feeling
to it, this being a gate, and then this building page three,
looking at this building sort of like from the direction of
the arrow on page two that I will draw, like from the...the
gateway, we'll call that view, on page two. Looking at it
from that view I got a feeling like it was also, like it was
a hill in there. Hill type of effect, this being three floors.
Ah...let's see...and this driveway went up here like this, and
this parking area was like up on a raised portion. Came down
here like this...and went out, this was a turn circle like area
here, and then the-this grassy thing kind of went up like
this, and there was...this walkway went sort of like this, and
this is a covered walkway.
This I'm going to have to do a little better job on when I
get through, because it doesn't make a lot of sense, unless
it's done exactly right. And then the other wing of the build-
ing which you can't see went back that way like that. Then
another driveway, like that.
And there was actually three floors to this building, and there
was an exterior, some kind of a...some kind of a exterior box
shape on the rear of it, it had a low retainer wall on each
floor and a support columns, sort of like that, with a roof,
and, ah..... some kind of stairs interconnecting it, they went
like this, ah...went down like that and then down like that.
Oh yeah, it didn't go all of the way down to the bottom because
down here there was just a wall that was up under the overhang
of the building, and a door in the wall, like a servant's en-
trance or something like that and these were all trees up here.
Oh, and the design on th i still, in was like this in two places
on the face of eac side of the bui was this lattice work
design in conc e. And the reason why it tood out so well
is there is a~L was a, like a hollow e-f-feet-' 6 this building

#01: back here like this, as if there were some very small ledges
built into the design of the building. That type of effect
so that the, ah...the windows were back away from this lat-
tice work design
T , e weren't a lot of rooms on each floor, th ere onl
like four or five rooms on each floor but all of he oms
were identical, something a little more than hote rooms,
you know, more like efficiency like apartments And that
t., it- looked _like. __..-
Page four. As you look at the building, comes in two wings,
second floor, there is a...like a, ah...an opening here that's
1gl s, and there is a, ah...stairs going up and stairs going
wn. There is a small hallway on each side. I felt like
these first five rooms right here, or six rooms were occupi
V
#66: I understand that you are saying that there
all together.
#01: Yeah, and they are all grouped on the second floor on the
wirtg closest to the entrance way.
#66: All right.
#01: And, ah...I'm going to have to change that a little bit 'cause
I felt like they were occupying that entire wing, so there is
no more than six rooms to a wing on each floor, and, ah...
this end over here, I got the feeling where this overhang was,
was probably a kitchen or something, a lounge area and a kit-
chen and everything. I can even draw a picture of that because
that might be very visible from the other side, which would be
more of a surreptitious area.
Side...I got a feeling like looking at that wing the building
looked the same as from the other direction, difference being
that the ground actually came out right like this, and there
was this porch like area that came out. Like that. And this
was all glass doors, and this had an awning type thing coming
out...coming out like this. Not exactly at that angle...well
...more at an angle like that. That being the top of the wall,
into a gate, with the driveway that went in the back. It's
like a patio. And that's really about it, I guess.
#66: Okay. Can you indicate on the appropriate drawings the rooms
where the hostages were and the guards positions that you per-
ceived?
#01: Oh, okay. Ah...going back to page four. The "X"s are where
the hostages were we'll put an "X" in the center of each of
the rooms the hostages were in, and I perceived a "G", I'll
use "G" for guard. Guard on the outside stairs, guard here,
guard here, and there were a lot of people down on the ground
floor, and there was only one guard, we will put him on number

#01: three (page), and he was like in the front by the front
door. The guard being here. Wherever there is a "G" there is
a guard. There just seemed to be a lot of people milling
around downstairs.
#66: Okay, and you thought that one of the guards was armed, you
said.
#01: The guy...they were all armed. Except downstairs front, there
was the only one armed was the guard by the door. The rest
of the people could have been guards but they were just milling
around.
#66: What you're saying is that all of the "G" personnel did have
weapons, and that there were other people downstairs milling
around.....
#01: Right... Right.....
#66: Which you did not perceive to have weapons. And they Were
not hostage personnel, I assume.
#01: No. I feel like this is some kind of a...it...I keep wanting
to call it a motel, but that's not what it is.
#66: Okay.
#01: So it...you know...it's like a...ah...some kind of a specialized
place. That's used as a motel, but it is not a motel. don 't
know what it is.
#66: Okay.
#01: But I felt like it was in a very classy residential area......
#66: Now did you get a.....
#01: That was a diplomatic residential area before.
##66: Okay. Did you get any feeling about these six hostages that
you, ah...perceived? We spent considerable time on the phy-
sical location, not scanning the people themselves, so do you
have any feeling about the.. 'x eople?
#01: The only othe sling that I have on any of stages was
ah...was... e person, about five foot nine, very silver gray
hair, very long hair, narrow, no beard, no mustache, clean
shaven, ea ly fifties, fifty two, fifty three, that's the
only thing have, the only thing familia
