Mr. Specter.

Mr. Rowland.
Yes; that is right, I am sorry, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Are you certain of the day of the week, however?
Mr. Rowland.
Yes; I am certain of that because I went to work at noon on Sunday and they were there when I got to work, they were waiting on me.

Where was that statement taken?
Mr. Rowland.
This was at my mother-in-law's house, and--
Mr. Specter.
Was that reduced to writing?
Mr. Rowland.
That was merely one paragraph. They were concerned with identification of the man that I saw.
Mr. Specter.
What did you tell them essentially at that time?
Mr. Rowland.
The description and that I could not positively identify him.

Mr. Specter.
All different?
Mr. Rowland.
Yes.
Mr. Specter.
When did the fifth occasion take place when you were interviewed by the FBI?

Mr. Specter.
When did this occur, the fifth one?
Mr. Rowland.
It was on the following Friday.
Mr. Specter.
About what time of the day or night was it?
