Mr. RANKIN. Where you met?
Mr. DULLES. Where you met Hosty.
Mr. BRIAN. OK.
Mr. DULLES. And you walked along, make a mark there, if you would,
along there to the elevators where you walked.
Mr. BRIAN. That is not exactly that way, this is offset, you have to
come over here to go up, it is not drawn exactly right, we walked
across here to the elevators straight through.
Mr. DULLES. How far is that, a hundred feet--no, less than that.
Mr. BRIAN. It is much less than a hundred feet.
Mr. DULLES. Fifty feet, something like that.
Mr. BRIAN. Probably 60, 70 feet.
Mr. DULLES. Yes, sir.
Mr. BRIAN. Something like that.
Mr. DULLES. Where is this, where does that stairway go?
Mr. BRIAN. Up to the first floor. Back in the hallway.
Mr. DULLES. And you are quite clear you didn't go up that stairway?
Mr. BRIAN. We didn't go up a stairway, no; not that stairway here.
Mr. DULLES. Or any other stairway?
Mr. BRIAN. Going up?
Mr. DULLES. Yes.
Mr. BRIAN. No, sir; we didn't go up the stairway going up.
The CHAIRMAN. When you got up to the first floor by that stairway, are
there other stairs leading up to the floors above that connect with
this?
Mr. BRIAN. Yes, sir; you have to go around. This is just a narrow
stairway going from the basement, it is probably, well, just a regular
narrow staircase that goes up, straight up. After you get to the first
floor the stairways widen out probably as wide as that window and go up
half a floor and meet another landing and then go up to the third floor
that way. They widen out.
Representative FORD. Was anybody with Mr. Hosty?
Mr. BRIAN. Not when we met him there; no, sir.
Representative FORD. When you got on the elevator, who was on the
elevator?
Mr. BRIAN. It was full.
