(Testimony of Mrs. Barbara Rowland)

Mrs. Rowland.
I was present when Mr. Howlett came to ask, to tell him that he should go to Washington, that he wanted him to go to Washington.
Mr. Belin.
What did your husband say to that?
Mrs. Rowland.
He said, "Okay."
Mr. Belin.
Did he talk to you, by the way, about his testimony when he got back from Washington? Did he talk to you about his testimony in front of the Commission?
Mrs. Rowland.
No.
Mr. BELIN. Has he ever talked to you about his testimony? Before you came down here, for instance, has he talked to you about what he said in front of the Commission?
Mrs. Rowland.
Not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Going back to his interview with the police, do you know how many interviews he had after the one on Sunday, November 24?
Mrs. Rowland.
I think he had about six or eight interviews in all. I mean all inclusive.
Mr. BELIN. Would that include the one with Mr. Howlett telling him to go to Washington?
Mrs. Rowland.
Yes. I am not positive of the number.
Mr. Belin.
Let me ask you this. From November 24 to November 30, that week, do you know how many interviews he had?
Mrs. Rowland.
No; I don't know.
Mr. BELIN. Now, has he ever told you that he had seen anyone else on the sixth floor other than this man with the gun that you described in the southwest corner window?
Mrs. Rowland.
No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Has he ever told you that he told anyone else that he saw anyone else on the sixth floor?
Mrs. Rowland.
No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Did your husband ever complain to you that he was being questioned too much by any law enforcement agency?
Mrs. Rowland.
I don't think so, not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Did he ever complain to you that any statement that he gave was not taken down?
Mrs. Rowland.
Not that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Was there any complaint that he ever made to you about law enforcement agencies?
Mrs. ROWLAND. Not about the law enforcement agencies, but in the Dallas Morning News on February 11, 14---11th or 14th, they had an article in there, and they had some things in the article that he didn't say.
Mr. Belin.
Like what?
Mrs. Rowland.
Like that the man was good looking. I mean, because he said he couldn't recognize the man. That is what he told me.
Mr. Belin.
Apart from what the Dallas Morning News said, then, did he have any complaints about his contacts with either the FBI or Secret Service or the sheriff's office or the city police of Dallas?
Mrs. Rowland.
None that I remember.
Mr. BELIN. Mrs. Rowland, you made a statement toward the beginning part of this deposition that your husband said that he had all A's, but that you knew different, because you had seen the report card.
Mrs. Rowland.
He said he had an A average.
Mr. Belin.
But that you knew different?

Mrs. ROWLAND. Well, he may have had an A average overall A average, but some of his cards didn't have A's altogether.
Mr. BELIN. Well, you mentioned that he had A's and B's and some C's and some D's?
Mrs. Rowland.
The one I saw.
Mr. Belin.
Do you remember what years those would have been for?
Mrs. Rowland.
No, sir.
Mr. BELIN. Sometimes some people are prone to exaggerate more than others, and without in any way meaning to take away from the testimony of your
