Mr. Belin.

When you said on January 7th that upon seeing Lee Harvey Oswald in the lineup you felt that Oswald most resembled the man whom you had seen in the window?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Now, I am referring to a statement to the FBI on January 7th of this year.

Mr. Brennan.

All right.

Mr. Belin.

By that, did you have reference to your own personal recollection, or what you said at the time of the Dallas Police Department lineup?

Mr. Brennan.

I believe I was referring to what I said at the Dallas Police Department.

Mr. Belin.

On January 7th of this year, what is the fact as to whether or not you could give whether or not you felt on November 22d that the man you saw in the window was the man you saw in the police lineup--not what you told him, but what was the fact?

Mr. Brennan.

On January 7th, at that time I did believe that I could give positive identification as well as I did later.

Mr. Belin.

You mean in the December interview?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Let me ask you this: You said you saw the man with the rifle

on the sixth floor, and then you said you saw some Negroes on the fifth floor.

Mr. Brennan.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Did you get as good a look at the Negroes as you got at the man with the rifle?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Did you feel that your recollection of the Negroes at that time was as good as the one with the man with the rifle?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes--at that time, it was. Now--the boys rode up with me on the plane of course I recognize them now. But as far as a few days later, I wouldn't positively say that I could identify them. I did identify them
that day.

Mr. Belin.

Well, for instance, when I showed you Exhibit 482, you said that you could not identify

Mr. Brennan.

Well, the picture is not clear enough, as far as distinct profiles.

Mr. Dulles.

Mr. Belin, I don't think you have asked they be admitted as yet.

Mr. Belin.

No, sir. I have one more mark to make on them, sir.

Mr. Brennan.

The pictures there are not clear enough, the profile is not distinct enough.

Mr. Belin.

All right.
Now, I wonder if you would take on Exhibit 482, if you can kind of mark the way the rifle was at the time you saw it.
Here is a red pencil. If you could put on Exhibit 482 the direction that you saw the rifle pointing, sir.

Mr. Brennan.

I would say more at this angle. Maybe not as far out as this.

Mr. Belin.

You have put a line, and I have tried to make a little bit darker line.

Mr. Brennan.

That is as close as I can get it.

Mr. Belin.

This is on Exhibit 482--as to the angle at which you saw the rifle. And you say perhaps it wasn't out of the window as far as this line goes on Exhibit 482, is that correct?

Mr. Brennan.

Right.

Representative Ford.

That is the angle that you believe the rifle was pointed?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes.

Mr. Dulles.

And that is from the area in the window from which the rifle was pointing?

Mr. Brennan.

Right.

Mr. Belin.

Could you tell whether or not any part of the rifle was protruding out of the window?

Mr. Brennan.

On a straight view like that it looked like it was.
But as I have told investigating officers prior, a person would have to be at an angle to tell how much was protruding out of the window. It did look
