Mr. Huffaker.

Well, just to be exactly specific, the last sentence in the second paragraph.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, that sentence reads as follows: "He even noted they were checking police automobiles parked in the area." Now, addressing yourself to that sentence, what comment do you wish to make?

Mr. Huffaker.

Well, it should be it should have referred to the fact that I did note Sergeant Putnam check a police van which was driven down into the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

And that's the only vehicle that you saw them check?

Mr. Huffaker.

That's the only one that I saw them check.

Mr. Hubert.

So, that you think that the quoted sentence is too broad in that it intimates you saw them checking several automobiles, whereas, in fact, you had reference there to only one, as you have identified it a moment ago?

Mr. Huffaker.

That's correct, and to expand a little bit further toward this---
I did note that they were checking all over the basement, and I'm sure that they were checking the vehicles down there, but I did not specifically note them doing so.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, perhaps it would be helpful to you if you would explain what you saw which prompts you now to say that they were checking all over the basement, what then were they doing, in fact?

Mr. Huffaker.

Well, I saw Sergeant Putnam and Sergeant Dean and--oh, a fairly good sized number of uniformed officers who were walking around the basement area from one end to another and they were searching the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

How were they searching, what were they actually doing?

Mr. Huffaker.

Well, they were just looking--I cannot say definitely that they were looking in cars, because I really didn't pay that close attention, but they were looking in various portions of the basement and I was well aware that they were searching the basement.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, the impression of their activities you gained was that it was a search party?

Mr. Huffaker.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

All right, have you any other comments to make about Exhibit No. 5331?

Mr. Huffaker.

Let me say just off the record--this sentence here is incorrect [indicating].

Mr. Hubert.

Well, let's stay on the record and let me read the sentence.
"His eyes were focused on Oswald as he approached the automobile which was to transport him to the county jail and when the shot rang out, he looked toward Oswald as the latter fell to the floor."
What comment have you to make as to that quoted sentence?

Mr. Huffaker.

My eyes were focused on the automobile which was to transport Oswald to the county jail as it was being backed into position. I had looked at Oswald when he first emerged from the door, but when the car began to back up, then I looked at it.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, when the car began to back up and you looked at it, in what direction did it cause you to look, to your left or to your right?

Mr. Huffaker.

When I looked at the car?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Huffaker.

To my left.

Mr. Hubert.

All right, any other comments?

Mr. Huffaker.

The remainder of the sentence is correct, because when the shot rang out, then I did look towards Oswald.

Mr. Hubert.

Are there any other corrections to be made as to Exhibit No. 5331?

Mr. Huffaker.

No, sir; to the best of my knowledge the remainder of it is correct.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. Now, I ask you to look at the document which has been previously identified as Exhibit 5332, and state whether it is a true and correct copy--report on the interview had of you by Special Agents Pinkston and Brown on November 30, 1963?

Mr. Hubert.

The first sentence of the second paragraph could be slightly misleading.
