Since the "Tague Chip in the curb would line up
with either floor (seventh or second) it does not
effect this observation. The angle of trajectory

the President's head to the "Tague chip". all of these
observations ão not rule out the possibility of a
floor somewhere between the second and the seventh in
the Dal-Tex Building having been the "nest" of the
assassin. I was able to take these pictures because
of the very cooperative ladies who are the secretaries
in the front office of the second floor and because
there was some sort of office party on the Seventh floor
and I was not noticed. I wonder now what kind of office
party they would have on November 22, 1957 at about 11:30 AM.
Since the film did not cone out on this building I withhold
my conclusions about this until later although I have
always felt and siill do, that there was at least one shot
fired from this building.
c) From the Texas School Book Depository Building I was
able to take some film and a few stills on the third
floor. A rather kind secretary allowed me to do this
although it is against the strictest regulations. On

floor people are well trained and told me to leave the
building. Then I went to the third. I was also able to
get into the back stairway by an "EXIT' door. This is
the stairway Oswald allegedly used. Walking up to the
fourth floor one finds that the door to continue to the
fifth floor is completely blocked. Boxes are stacked in
front of it as if it was never intended to be a door; and
to anyone who didn't know it was there it would not be
visible. The freight elevator is only twenty feet, at most,
from the stairway marked "EKIT" I was able to take some
photos and some film of the loading docks on both the
South (Dealy Plaza) side of the TSBD and the rear or
Houston S1. side. There are two docks. The small street
that runs parallel to Elm St. above (north of) the dement
Pergola not only services the truck entrance for the load-
ing dock but also has a back entrance (from the Railroad
yards to the TSBD) leading out of 2° make-shift garage. The
photos I send you on this will be much more self explang-
tory than my description.

have been easily possible from both the Dal-Ter and the
