Mr. STERN. Could that have been his first name?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, that could have been his first name.
Mr. STERN. Can you recall his second name?
Mr. SORRELS. I would know it if I heard it.
Mr. STERN. Could it have been Roland?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes, Roland is right.
Mr. STERN. What did they tell you?
Mr. SORRELS. He said that they were standing there waiting for the
President to come by, and they were talking about security. And he said
that right after that, that he looked up at this building over there,
which is the Book Depository, and that there were a couple of windows
open towards the west side, and that he saw a man standing in there
with what appeared to be a rifle with a telescopic sight.
Mr. STERN. Towards the west side?
Mr. SORRELS. Yes--two windows towards the west side.
And that he remarked to his wife, "I guess that is a Secret Service
man."
And I asked her if she saw it, and she said, no, that she had left her
glasses home, and she is nearsighted, and she could not see him. And,
of course, I asked him the description of the man. I asked him "How
could you determine--what made you think it had a telescopic sight on
it?"
