(Testimony of Ronald B. Fischer)

Mr. Belin.
What high school did you go to?
Mr. Fischer.
W. W. Samuell.
Mr. Belin.
Did you complete high school or not?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
Have you participated in any postgraduate work since you graduated from high school?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
What is that?
Mr. Fischer.
I've taken courses toward an accounting degree at Arlington College, Arlington, Tex.
Mr. BELIN. Are these correspondence courses or have you actually attended the school?
Mr. Fischer.
No; I've attended the school.
Mr. Belin.
How long did you attend that school?
Mr. Fischer.
I attended 1 year, full time and I attended 1 year, night school.
Mr. Belin.
And what have you done since after you left Arlington?

Mr. FISCHER. All of the time since I've left Arlington, I've been working for the Dallas County auditor-with the exception of a Correspondence course that I'm taking at the present time.
Mr. Belin.
Well, by that, you mean you're still working full time but you are taking the correspondence course also?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
You have been working for 4 or 5 years for the auditor's office?
Mr. Fischer.
Five years.
Mr. BELIN. Now, Mr. Fischer, I want to take you back to November 22, 1963, and ask you if you remember watching or getting ready to watch, the Presidential motorcade on that day? Do you remember that?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes.
Mr. Belin.
And were you with anyone else, or not?
Mr. Fischer.
Bob Edwards he works in the same office that I do.
Mr. Belin.
Does he work there now?
Mr. Fischer.
No; he doesn't. At the present time, he's attending a college in Oklahoma but I don't remember the name. It's in Tahlequah, I believe. I don't know the name of the college.
Mr. Belin.
Could that be-- I think it's [spelling] T-a-h-l-e-q-u-a-h?
Mr. Fischer.
I think that's it.
Mr. BELIN. Now, when did you and Mr. Edwards leave your place of employment on that day to watch the motorcade?
Mr. FISCHER. Oh, about---well, let's see. We got off for lunch at a quarter of twelve and Mr. Lynn, our boss, said that we could take go ahead and go on down the street after we got through with lunch, in other words, don't come back to the office after lunch. Just go on down the street and watch the parade. Everybody was due back after the parade was over.
Mr. Belin.
Uh- huh.

Mr. FISCHER. So, I went to lunch at a quarter of twelve, and ate until about 12 o'clock, and then Bob and I went down to the street--oh, 5 or 10 after and we stood, at first, on Main Street right outside the records building. And then about 12:15 or 12:20, we were trying to find a place where we could see better, so we walked down to Houston and then one block down Houston to Elm and stood there until the parade came by.
Mr. BELIN. Now, do you know when you got to corner of Houston and Elm--approximately ?
Mr. Fischer.
About 12:20.
Mr. Belin.
12:20?
Mr. Fischer.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Belin.
And where were you standing on the corner of Houston and Elm?

Mr. FISCHER. We were standing right on the curb--uh--on the southwest corner of Elm and Houston.
Mr. Belin.
Where were you with relation to that lagoon that's there?
Mr. FISCHER. Well, that lagoon is rather long. We were standing in front of it, across the sidewalk. I believe it's the curb and the sidewalk and this
