If there's anything you'd like to add, please do so now. PAUSE #31: No. #66: All right. Let's draw these impressions you've had up til this time. PAUSE #31: Okay, the . . . Start over again. PAUSE The first feeling I had was like I was outside a about a . ..about a two story wall. PAUSE It had windows in it. Like that. And then . . . interesting perspective, anyway, I was sitting outside this two story wall and there was some kind of a walk down below me and there was some kind of a . . . a shallow, very shallow . . . . "V11 shaped, not "V11 shaped TURN OVER TAPE 6 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA 000800920001-3 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO0800920001-3 #31: Some sort of a just a double pillared front on it. With a little triangle overhanging porch or something like that. The next thing I saw was, going the other way, I turned and sort of looked to the left, okay, and it was just a simple repeat of the thing. It was a flat wall. PAUSE Okay and it was light. . light in tone. It wasn't brick. I had the feeling it was more like cement. It was a solid wall instead of a brick wall and this was light toned as well. PAUSE Okay. Then. . I forget where I went then. Where'd I go then? Did I go inside then or did I go up then? PAUSE #66: You said at that time that you felt like you were looking down at a "J", shape of a t1ill. #31: Okay, so I did go up. That's what I was curious about. I didn't. . couldn't remember if I had gone up. So then on three, . . . . PAUSE I had the feeling that I was looking at a building that was "J" shaped and it just . . with flat roof and that there was something there out front. Okay, and the building was roughly "J" shaped. It had windows in the one side of it at least. Like that. Okay, at that timey at three I did not you knowq perceive anything else around, I was just focusing~on the building type situation. Okay. Then I went in and I had the feeling that Howland was alone; was in some sort of a . . some sort of a room that. . it was really peculiar. If there was a mirror in if thist it was almost as though it was something that was, like this shape. That I thought was like an "Ll' shape sofa. You know, a corner sofa. Corner shape sofa. PAUSE 7 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-0 0920001-3 Approved For Release 2000/08/Orh'~- ~-MM000800920001-3 #31: Like this. PAUSE And that what I was actually doing is that I was looking at this thing. . . . was actually along a wall, away from a corner of a room and that what gave the other side of the L shape was the fact that there was a mirror there. You see what I mean. So, there was like a mirror on the wall or something that gave this funny thing, what was actually a sofa or some such thing was in reality a reflection. PAUSE Reflection.in a mirror. Anyway. It was some sort of a . . it was some sort of an interior room furnishing, whatever. The thing was away from the corner of the room. Okayv another perspective of the room was I went down on the . . okay and there's carpet. Green. Cheap. You know what I mean. Stuff. Its not the heavy pile. Not that plush pile stuff. Its just that all purpose, like what we get. Five, was this feeling of here was the wall . . . PAUSE with a chair sitting againsta desk. Chair. Desk. PAUSE Right here in the foreground was poking out this 6 . this . . . sofa or whatever was here on the left side. Right side, excuse me. Now I went through this wall, and that was the out- side. The chair and desk was actually closer but anyway that's it. I had the feeling . . Later on in the sessiont I had the feeling that our guy was sitting there on the sofa - I thought it was a sofa anyway. All right. Six. Then what did you have me do? #66: Then I wanted you to move back outside and describe the exterior of the buildings. PAUSE 'C, 8 Approved For Release 2000/08/07: CIA-RD,P9,65-067MMMMM1920001-3 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 -'CIA-RDP96-00788ROO0800920001-3 #66: You talked about a roof structure. Something stacked. Half-moon shape. #31: Yeah. That was as though I was looking down at a part of this building. . . that had . . . . . something on top of it, like that. Like a second roof on top of the roof. You see what I mean. Its difficult. Its something on top. The grain of the top, roof of the building, this actually should go over here. Sorry. PAUSE The grain of the top of the roof of the top of the building was the repeated here. And it was repeated there but for some peculiar reason, there was a black shaped curve in one of the segments. It was like a fancy carved out patio roof, like a penthouse roof on top of the building or something like that. It was a different roof. It was like it was stacked up. You follow me. Okay. PAUSE I don't know if its a patch on the roof or if it was three dimensional or if it was two dimensional or not, but it was like the long roof square, then it was a little rectangle and then inside the little rectangle was another one. And that one was the one that was like carved out, like it could have been a shadow or it could have been an actual carved out type thing. Okay. What else? Okay, also on this, I'll say that the little funny thing about the overhang. 10 to 12 inch roof overhang and this is essentially flat. PAUSE And then you had me look for people. PAUSE Okay, I had two guards. Or, two, not our people, these were two loungers, whatever you call it. Lounging around leaning against the pillars out front. Okay. PAUSE Okay. This is what I thought was the front of the building. And I did have the feeling there was some sort of traffic. Few. . Few people go in and out. 9 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 CIA-RDP96-00788ROO0800920001-3 7 A Approved For Release 2000/08/01~ , ~MA-RDP96-00788RO00800920001-3 Not a lot of people. Not a mad rush. Not a crowd. Just like had a feeling of somebody popping up the steps and walking into the building. Okay. PAUSE #66: Were these people armed? #31: Yeah. They were. It was more a rifle type situation, but PAUSE I didn't get a good look at it. Didn't have a good session at all. I don't know why. That's that. Okay. Then I got to the point. Let me see, from there, I went to the right. Which is to 8, okay. I had the feeling that back here in this corner, on the right end of the building, was a. . was & . all this was asphalt. Okay. And it went around behind the building like that. And that here. . the back end of this building were like 3 or 4 guys with . . something like a trash can like it . . Ohq its a shit detail. Okay. And there were like 3 or 4 . . . . They were doing something here in this asphalt area and it was hot and sticky. Stinky, like the back end of a building always is. You know. The rear end of the building is always that way. So there were. No, these men were not armed. PAUSE Okay. And for the first time I had the feeling that there was a smaller, lower building over here. On the right.. Okay. Then I went in to 9, still looking for folks. . . Then I had this feeling that I was - let me see if I can draw a panorama here - PAUSE Okay this was the wing.

Okay and then here in the background. . . . were the trees that I talked about. (not audible) And this building here was on the right, was still here but I don't know how big it was. It was . . This was definitely a gap so there was another building that came out like this. PAUSE Was a gap. Here was the other building and here's this building. Okay. What is that, that's 9. All right, and still no people around in back. PAUSE Okay. #66: Are you saying that the I'm trying to understand your drawings. The J type structure, is this build- ing of different levels? #31: No, that's perspective. Its the same level all the way around. Its just that that's in the distance so it looks different. #66: Okay. #31: Okay, same way here. See that's the little tit of it sticking out behind that. Okay, I had the Feel- ing it was all about the same, two story level all the way around it. All right. What else? You had me look for folks. You had me look down, #66: There's two things. I had you move up to 500 feet and I also had you look inside, in the immediate area of our man . . . #31: Okay, I didn't 'get anything when I was looking for other folks or people inside. It was just blanked out. I didn't get anything. You know, I was waiting for anything to happen like a rehash of photographs that would apply but nothing happened. I don't know why. Nothing happened.

I'm just writing. . just putting down what I saw. And . . . that looked like it was a wall or something. But then, anyway . . . then I got this repeated pattern of of things down there. PAUSE And this was like open field. Open field area. But then a bunch of trees started like here which was when I was talking to you - it was back around behind my left shoulder. I was actually closer than this perspective and then there's trees in here. Trees begin is all I can say. Open up here and then trees begin. Okay, X marks the spot. PAUSE So we would end up with, on this overview, we would end up with for the tape, X sub I is the two guards at the front, what I perceived to be the front or side entrance or whatever it is. And then X sub 2 is the three or four guys emptying trashcans and that's it. #66: Okay. #31: 1 can't think of anything else. Let me think.
