Is there anything else that you can add at this time? PAUSE #7: At this moment, there appears to be . . . only two guards, people. Concerned about watching Victor. They are very bored. PAUSE I have the feeling that most of the guards inside are more concerned with keeping people out than keeping hostages in. Hostages are afraid to attempt escape. Don't require a lot of security. to prevent escape. That's about it. PAUSE #14: Okay. PAUSE TURN OVER TAPE #14: Okay, we're now ready for debrief.

I couldn't see how many of these there were, but . . . I think this was the room that he normally spent time in but was not the room that he was presently in. PAUSE Oh yeahl.1 remember, there was something else that might have been significant in identifying where he was, was a . . . an onion shaped light fixture. PAUSE And this appeared to be brass or something. I couldn't tell what size it was. It was from the, you know, hanging from the overhead. PAUSE Thought this might in some way help to identify room or building. PAUSE #14: Okay, you described some mud-shaped, putty, something that looked like a stick of dynamite and . . . wires leading . . . #7: Out of a building, across the wall, went into the air and went across the street somewhere into another building. It must have been at least a second story. #14: Can you describe this other building? #7: It was a building that was much higher than two stories high. Rather drab, nondescript building. Could have been an office type building or something like that. The building, I think was more than four stories high and I felt that the room where the wires went to were . . or the scene of the building where they entered was about the second story. I just assumed . . No, I saw inside. I sau some kind of console. Some kind of console - inside. I saw the stick of dynamite and I thought, Gee it sure is primitive, its old-fashioned. The mud then appeared and I found myself asking myself did the fact that I recognized this was old-fashioned create the mud shape stuff which I think was probably plastic explosive. #14: Um hm. #7: 1 don't know. . about that, but the image of the dynamite with the fuse coming out of it was very vivid and very roved For Release 2000/08/07 'QIA-RQP9_"_ NMI 00,01--AL.-, Approved For Release 20 gi"DP96-00788ROO0800910001-4 very sharp. And when I saw it, it was about two feet in front of my face. I felt control of all of this. Was definitely a outside the compound across the wall. #14: Is there anything worth drawing of that? #7: Stick of dynamite, no. The wires. . . The wires seemed to come together and go out of the building in the direction he was painting and I felt the bigger part of the charge inside this building was in the direction he was pointing. But I saw it go outside the building and I picked it up again going over the wall and I was looking around to see where in the heck it went and it looked like it crossed the street, you know, 20 feet above the street. #14: Did you get a good look at the console? #7: Ohp it was about 2 foot deep. A little bigger than a portable TV. Well, there's all sizes of portable TV's, aren't there. It was about . . about 30 inches by 24 inches deep by . . 24 inches high and the front kind of sloped back. And it had little levers and buttons and dials. I don't know what it was. When I looked in the . . was looking around to see you know, what the security was around this area, I couldn't find anything that I could recognize by looking and then I tried to converse with him. And, I got the feeling that the security of keeping the people in was more fear on their part of what would happen if they did try to move out. I got the feeling of at least, tha tthey thought, areas were booby trapped. If they tried to go beyond certain points that they would blow themselves up. I was unable to determine whether these booby traps actually existed or whether they were made to believe that it did. PAUSE I found the machine gun somewhere near an entry to the building. I'd say 100 feet away. At least. . I'd say about 10 feet in the air. It guarded that entrance or exit as it may be. I looked around and found it also commanded a lot of the open space inside the compound. At that time, I started looking around to see what else I might find and I started examining the grass very carefully and I saw what looked like someone had cut a sod about a foot, 14 inches wide and cut it back about 18 inches - like it had been rolled back. I don't know whether a I'--- 7 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 -----OP88ROO0800910001-4 Approved For Release 20Y~Wuolut . em-RDP96-00788ROO0800910001-4 a listening device had been put under their, or some booby trap or a mine. I was looking to see if mines were put there and I thought I would be able to just see the mines but I did not see an image of mines. While I was examining the grass I saw something nearby that was just like a blunder-bust shot gun. blasted off straight up in the air. Very tight near the ground and created a cone something like in the shape of this cone I'm drawing on Page 3 and bits of dirt and debris in this cone. PAUSE Ohq I thought his present position was to the right of the entry-way. I don't know whether its the primary entrance to this building or not. I had the feeling that the building, for some reason, either looked like or was called "The Little White House" or something. I tried to shake that and shake it out and see what come of it, but I couldn't do it. I had an awareness, not vision, of a lot of trees around it. And the building seemed very, quite close to one of the walls. I can't think of anything else to draw. #14: All right. End of session.
