Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Fuqua, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine what facts you know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent facts you may know about the general inquiry.
Now, I think, Mr. Fuqua, that you have appeared here today by--as a result of an informal request made to the Dallas Public Works Department for whom you work, and I wish to advise you that under the rules of the Commission you would normally be entitled to a 3-day written notice before the taking of this deposition, but the rules of the Commission also provide that a witness may waive that 3-day notice if he wishes to do so, and I ask you now if you are willing to have your deposition taken now and therefore willing to waive the 3-day written notice?

Mr. Fuqua.

I'm ready now, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

All right. Will you stand and raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Mr. Fuqua.

I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you state your full name?

Mr. Fuqua.

Mr. Fuqua.

Mr. Hubert.

And where do you live, sir?

Mr. Fuqua.

Mr. Hubert.

What is your occupation?

Mr. Fuqua.

Mr. Hubert.

What?

Mr. Fuqua.

Parking attendant in the basement of the city hall.

Mr. Hubert.

How long have you been so employed?

Mr. Fuqua.

By the city of Dallas?

Mr. Hubert.

Yes.

Mr. Fuqua.

About 6 years.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, were you on duty on the morning of November 24, 1963?

Mr. Fuqua.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

When you say you were on duty, that means you were on duty in the parking area of the basement?

Mr. Fuqua.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

That basement is partially under the city hall, and partially under the police building, is that correct?

Mr. Fuqua.

No, sir; it is under the municipal part of it. The parking basement, because it is right beside the jail part.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, the parking area in the basement is really under the municipal building?

Mr. Fuqua.

That is the way I would think of it.

Mr. Hubert.

And, what--it is all connected up by the two ramps?

Mr. Fuqua.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

That go up to Main Street and Commerce Street?

Mr. Fuqua.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Also a sort of a corridor that goes into the jail office, isn't that correct?

Mr. Fuqua.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Your duties, normally, are just to assist in parking of cars down there?

Mr. Fuqua.

Right, and make sure that the right people in other words, we have people that come down each day to maybe want to park and go get a prisoner out of jail or pay their water bill. We don't permit that.

Mr. Hubert.

In other words, that parking area is used for employees of the city and the municipal building, as well as for police automobiles?

Mr. Fuqua.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

Just not a public parking lot?

Mr. Fuqua.

Right.

Mr. Hubert.

And that is your job, to keep them from parking down there?

Mr. Fuqua.

Yes; and to assist, too.

Mr. Hubert.

And to assist getting cars out when people come for them?
