Mr. Belin.

Well, now, the northwest part is by the stairway, and the southwest part would be toward the corner near Elm Street. Do you mean toward the Elm or more toward the wooden dock in the back?

Mr. WEST. Well, it was about, I would say, middleways between Elm and the dock.
Mr. BELIN. Well, there are a couple of overhead doors on that west side, aren't there?

Mr. West.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

You see where it is marked on the first floor diagram, overhead door and overhead door? Two doorways here on the west side?

Mr. West.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Then was it near either one of those doorways?

Mr. West.

Well, it was near this one, pretty close to this one.

Mr. Belin.

It was close to what I would call a doorway, approximately in the middle side of the west wall of the first floor?

Mr. WEST. Yes.

Mr. Belin.

That is where you wrapped the mail?

Mr. West.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

That is where you have the coffee machine?

Mr. West.

Yes, sir; I have it.

Mr. Belin.

That is where you went when you got to work that morning?

Mr. West.

Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you first go to the domino room and leave your lunch or hang up your coat or anything?
Mr. WEST. No, sir. I just always go right there first. Sometime I pull my coat off and lay it over on the table and go right on.
Mr. BELIN. How long did you stay about making coffee when you got there? How long did you stay around that place when you first got there?
Mr. WEST. Well, let's see, it didn't take me too long. I mean, you know, to make the coffee. After I got it made, I went right on and went right on at my work wrapping mail.

Mr. Belin.

Did you stay in that general area all the time?

Mr. West.

Sir?
Mr. BELIN. Did you stay in that general location all the time?

Mr. West.

That was my, all my work was right there on the first floor. I never did---

Mr. Belin.

Did you see Lee Harvey Oswald that morning?

Mr. West.

I did not.

Mr. Belin.

Did you notice Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. West.

Sir?

Mr. Belin.

Did you notice Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. West.

Yes; I had been seeing him every morning, you know. He would come to work. Excepting the morning, I didn't see him that morning at all.

Mr. Belin.

Did you generally see him when he first came to work?

Mr. West.

Most of the time I see him.

Mr. Belin.

Where did you see him when he first came to work?

Mr. WEST. Well, he would come in and probably I would be on my way back to the rest room, probably to get water in my percolator, or maybe wash the cups or something, and I would see him when he would come in, and I would speak and go right ahead.

Mr. Belin.

What did you say, and what did Lee Harvey Oswald say?
Mr. WEST. I would just say to him, "Good morning," and he said, "Good morning," to me, and he was going right on, and I did.

Mr. Belin.

Did he ever stop and get a cup of coffee?

Mr. WEST. I never did see him stop and get any. I don't know whether he drink coffee or not. He never did stop and get any.

Mr. Belin.

When you would see him, where would he be walking or working when he first came to work in the morning?
Mr. WEST. He would be order filler, and naturally, they have bins, all those bins down there made for stock, and he would be working around in there sometime.
