Mr. Stern.

Mr. HARGIS. Then I got back on my motorcycle, which was still running, and rode underneath the first underpass to look on the opposite side in order to see if I could see anyone running away from the scene, and since I didn't see anyone coming from that direction I rode under the second underpass, which is Stemmons Expressway and went up around to see if I could see anyone coming from across Stemmons and back that way, and I couldn't see anything that was of a suspicious nature, so, I came back to the Texas School Book Depository. At that time it seemed like the activity was centered around the Texas School Book Depository, so, that is when I heard someone say, one of the sergeants or lieutenants, I don't know, "Don't let anyone out of the Texas School Book Depository," and so, I went to a gap that had not been filled, which was at the southwest corner.

Mr. Stern.

And you remained there until you were relieved?

Mr. Hargis.

Yes.

Mr. Stern.

Anything else that you haven't told us that you think is relevant to our inquiry?

Mr. Hargis.

No; I don't believe so.

Mr. Stern.

Thank you very much, Mr. Hargis. The reporter will transcribe your testimony and have it available for you to read and sign if you care to. Otherwise, you may waive your right to review and sign the testimony and she will mail it direct to the Commission, whichever you prefer. It is entirely your option.

Mr. Hargis.

Well; it really doesn't make any difference. It is more or less what you all think is best.

Mr. Stern.

It's entirely up to you.

Mr. Hargis.

Well, how long will it be until she fixes it up?

Mr. Stern.

Well, off the record. (Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Stern.

Mr. HARGIS. All right. Well, just go ahead and I will just let you go ahead and send it in without the signature.
Mr. STERN. Thank you very much, Mr. Hargis.
