Mr. Dulles.

Was the elevator there at the basement floor when you took it or did you have to wait?

Mr. Brian.

We had to wait just a very short time on it. It wasn't standing open waiting; no, sir.
We had to wait on it just a very short time, I believe, and we went up to the third floor, and Hosty and Lieutenant Revill went in there and talked. I went to the door and just stepped inside and waited and then we went back downstairs to our office which is on two, right underneath Captain Fritz' office.

Mr. Dulles.

You accompanied them to the third floor and then you came down?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

In the elevator?

Mr. Brian.

That I am not sure.

Mr. Dulles.

Or did you get out and come down the stairs?

Mr. Brian.

I am not sure.

Mr. Dulles.

But you weren't with Lieutenant Revill any further?

Mr. Brian.

When we came back down to our office, we came back down, I am not sure whether we rode the elevator or not. It is a short trip down and I am--I would be afraid to say whether we walked, rode, or how we got down, but we went into Captain Gannaway's office and Revill told, Lieutenant Revill told the Captain what Hosty had said, so he said, "Write a report."

Mr. Rankin.

What did he say at that time? What did he tell the Captain that Agent Hosty had said?

Mr. Brian.

He told him, short and very quick, that they knew that Oswald was a Communist and that he was in the Book Depository, and he said, "Write a report and get it back to me right now."
And he went right back and wrote a report.
I forgot about the whole incident, I didn't think it would be important and I didn't--well, in fact, I didn't have time to because when I got back there they had a list of names they were going to start checking out and they handed me six of them and says, "Start going and checking here and here and here and checking these people."
So I never did dwell on it again.

Mr. Rankin.

In this conversation down in the basement, have you told us all that Agent Hosty said that you recall?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

And have you told us all that Lieutenant Revill said that you recall?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Have you told us all that Lieutenant Revill told to Captain Gannaway that you recall?

Mr. Brian.

Well, let's see. I believe that I have, yes, sir. When---Captain Gannaway's office, as you go in the door and turn right and his office is in there and if I recall correctly I didn't go all the way in his office, he did and I stood in the door, and I really didn't make a mental note of what happened and things were moving at a rather fast pace, and I believe that I did; yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

You have made an affidavit about this, have you not?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir; I made a report to Chief Curry.

Mr. Rankin.

And you swore to that?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Is Exhibit 711 a photostatic copy of your report that you made that you have just described?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you swear to that report on the date that it bears?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

April 20, 1964?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

You read the Exhibit 711 right now, didn't you?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Is it correct?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.
