Mr. Brennan.

at that time that as much was protruding out of the window as there was in the window.

Mr. Belin.

At this time, we offer and introduce into evidence Exhibits 480, 481, and 482.

Mr. Dulles.

They will be accepted.
(The documents heretofore marked for identification as Commission Exhibits Nos. 480, 481, and 482 were received in evidence. )

Mr. Mccloy.

I have one or two questions, if you are finished, Mr. Belin.

Mr. Belin.

One more question, sir.
Did you ever tell anyone that you were 90 yards away from that window where you saw the gun?

Mr. Brennan.

No. It was a misunderstanding. My first calculation was that I was about 75-foot out from the window, and the calculation of the window 75-foot up. So the hypotenuse there would be approximately 110-foot. That was my first calculation.
But since we made a step of the grounds Friday, I was farther out than 75 feet. Approximately 93 feet is what we calculated Friday.

Mr. Belin.

One additional question, sir. When did you first see Exhibit 479?

Mr. Brennan.

This morning.

Mr. Belin.

This morning here.
And on Exhibit 479, who picked the person-out as being you in that picture? Was it you or was it I?

Mr. Brennan.

I did.
I might add that prior to Friday, no one had ever gave me any information on your evidence whatsoever.

Mr. Belin.

Well, on Friday you and I met for the first time in Dallas--that would be on March 20th.

Mr. Brennan.

Right.

Mr. Belin.

And we sat down and I asked you just to tell me what happened, is that correct?

Mr. Brennan.

That is right.

Mr. Belin.

Did I ask you a general question and say, "What happened?" Or did I just ask you repeated questions?

Mr. Brennan.

No.
Well, you more or less told me to tell it in my own way exactly what happened.

Mr. Belin.

And you just started to tell it, is that correct?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes. I believe that sums it up.

Mr. Belin.

And then we then went outside where you pointed out the place where you were sitting?

Mr. Brennan.

Yes.

Mr. Belin.

Do you remember the doctor that examined your eyes when you had them examined?

Mr. Brennan.

He is in Port Lavaca. He is the only leading optometrist there.

Mr. Belin.

Would it be Dr. Howard R. Bonar?

Mr. Brennan.

That is right.
How did you find that out?

Mr. Brennan.

Well, sir, it is on one of your interviews here.

Mr. Brennan.

Had that question been asked me before?

Mr. Belin.

Yes, it had. On November 22, when you advised that you wore glasses for reading purposes only.

Mr. Brennan.

That is right, the FBI, Mr. Lish, right?

Mr. Belin.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Mccloy.

That examination was before the sand blasting, of course.

Mr. Brennan.

Oh, yes, sir. The sandblasting wasn't until January or early February of this year.

Representative Ford.

Did you have your glasses on at the time of the assassination?

Mr. Brennan.

No.

Mr. Mccloy.

You can see better at that distance without your glasses than with them?

Mr. Brennan.

Oh, yes, much better. Oh, I could put these glasses on and it
