is what I gathered. He may not have said Texas School Book Depository, but the Texas School Book Depository was mentioned in the broadcasts that were made at that time.

Mr. Belin.

Was this on Channel 1 or Channel 2 if you remember?

Mr. Sawyer.

Channel 2, I am sure.
Mr. BELIN. Did Sheriff Decker have any particular call number at all, or not, in your police number system?

Mr. Sawyer.

No. I was wondering why he come on our radio, but then I think that he was with Chief Curry and probably using that radio.
Mr. BELIN. All right, in any event, a call was made from Chief Curry's car?
Mr. . SAWYER. Well, this I don't know either. I don't know what car it was made from, but I think it was Sheriff Decker talking. I could recognize his voice, yes.

Mr. Belin.

What did you do then?

Mr. Sawyer.

Then I went on down to the Texas Book Depository.

Mr. Belin.

Where did you park your car?

Mr. Sawyer.

In front of the Texas School Book Depository.

Mr. Belin.

In front of the main entrance there?

Mr. Sawyer.

In front of the main entrance.

Mr. Belin.

What did you do then?

Mr. SAWYER. Immediately went into---well, talked to some of the officers around there who told me the story that they had thought some shots had come from one of the floors in the building, and I think the fifth floor was mentioned, but nobody seemed to know who the shots were directed at or what had actually happened, except there had been a shooting there at the time the President's motorcade had gone by.
And I went with a couple of officers and a man who I believed worked in the building. The elevator was just to the right of the main entrance, and we went to the top floor, which was pointed out to me by this other man as being the floor that we were talking about. We had talked about the fifth floor. And we went back to the storage area and looked around and didn't see anything.

Mr. Belin.

Now you took an elevator up, is that correct?

Mr. Sawyer.

That's right.
Mr. BELIN. The route that you took to the elevator, you went to the front door?

Mr. Sawyer.

Right.

Mr. Belin.

Then what did you do?

Mr. Sawyer.

We got into the elevator. We run into this man.

Mr. Belin.

Well, when you say you got into the elevator, where was the elevator as you walked in the front door?

Mr. Sawyer.

It was to the right.

Mr. Belin.

To the right?

Mr. Sawyer.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin.

Was it a freight elevator or a passenger elevator?

Mr. Sawyer.

The best of my recollection, it was a passenger elevator.

Mr. Belin.

Did you push for the top button in that elevator?

Mr. SAWYER. Well, I don't know who pushed it, but we went up to the top floor.

Mr. Belin.

You went up to the top floor that the elevator would go to?

Mr. Sawyer.

That's right.

Mr. Belin.

You got off, and were there officers there?

Mr. Sawyer.

There was one or two other officers with me.
Mr. BELIN. Now when you got off, you say you went into the back there into a warehouse area?

Mr. Sawyer.

Storage area; what appeared to be a storage area.

Mr. Belin.

Did you go into any place other than a warehouse or storage area?

Mr. Sawyer.

No.

Mr. Belin.

Was there anything other than a warehouse or storage area there?

Mr. SAWYER. Well, to one side I could see an office over there with people in it. Some women that apparently were office workers.
Mr. BELIN. Now Inspector, what did you do then?
