On a . . . a brown . . . couch. . . . . . facing

#7: Victor. . . has been . . . working part-time in
the kitchen. I don't know if . . . its . . . .
through to fight boredom or they make him do it -
I don't know.
PAUSE
+16 I'm going to . . . Give me a minute with him.
PAUSE
Vic. Victor. . . . is sitting up. I tried to
converse with him. He . . He seems to be physic!
Very, Very intelligent. Very intelligent individual.
He was trying . . . He was trying . . . to tell me
. . something. Something. Some things about the
building. I don't know, I'm afraid to say this.
He's indicating something . . . (not audible) other
wall their. I see wires leading . . . wires leading
to mud-shaped (not audible) putty, and I saw one
stick-like dynamite. Wires leading. . . Wires leading
from building over a wall. It goes . . . It goes
. . . . . second story of a building nearby. I think
its outside the compound. I. . . I have a feeling
it . . . I think. . . . . it can be . . maybe some
kind of detonation device. . that can be activated
from outside of the compound.
PAUSE
I . . . . I saw someone in . . . had tan. . brownish
tan uniform with . with . . . with . . . .
officer's type cap on. . . . in the vicinity of Victor.
I don't know what it means; supposed to be militants.
Not uniform. Victor appears to be in this room alone.
I sense there's . . someone below him. Could be
. . . I don't know, I think its . . someone in the
basement.
PAUSE
I don't know what. . . something. I keep seeing a
minature White House. I don't know what the hell that
means. Miniature White House. Miniature White
House. I get an awareness of three people and I was
trying to . . . I don't know if Victor is one of those
or if there's three people . . . . and Victor.

Nearby, I see this . . . . .
Nearby. . . . . Nearby . . . . there's a door that
leads into this building. About 10 or 15 feet off
the ground is a big . . . machine gun. It commands
entrance or exit. Angle. . . . . covering far almost
all the way across the compound. Tree seems to block
to the right.
I just saw something . . I think is symbolic.
Looked like . . . looked like a . . . . and oil well
blowing its top out there in the center of the grass.
Something just exploded. . below . . below dirt. Black,
straight up in the air. At the time I saw this, I
was looking at the grass to see . . . see if there was
any mines. I saw turf cut and laid back and . . then
this thing went off to my right. I don't know. I
think the broad grassy area. . . I think its . . . I
think its mined.
#14: I want you to tell me now, which building is Victor
located in.
+30 #7: In the White House.
PAUSE
In the White House.
PAUSE
Victor has his hand. . . or his feet on the floor.
His elbows on his knees. His forehead in his palms.
There is something. . . There's something . . . . about
. He believes . . . . . there's something very simple
ke ing him confined to a space. He has been made to
lieve if . booby trapped. If he . . . . . . If
he attempts to pass through simple barrier, booby trap.
Apparently, takes very little to keep him confined.
. . for fear of setting off explosion.

+35 #7: Three hard bound books near Victor. Trying to see
title.
#14: Its very important that we know Victor's exact
location. Ask him, the building that he's in.
Ask him what is it called.
#7: The image he gives me is miniature White House. Looks
somewhat like . . White House in Washington. Small.
Smaller than White House.
PAUSE
This building has elegant lobby.
PAUSE
I see a lot of trees. Surrounding.
PAUSE
I think I know which building it is. Its near the
wall. I don't know what its called.
I think that's where . . . the building where
dignitaries are greeted.
#14: I want you now to go back inside this building
and focus on the other hostages at this location.
I want you to identify these hostages and describe
their location.
+42 #7: They should be downstairs, but . . . . and one
should be other side of the hall, but I don't see
anybody.
I have awareness of people downstairs and one across
the hall, but I looked there and I don't see anyone.
I don't understand.

Maybe gone to eat.
I have no further questions. Is there anything
else that you can add at this time?
At this moment, there appears to be . . . only
two guards, people. Concerned about watching Victor.
They are very bored.
I have the feeling that most of the guards inside
are more concerned with keeping people out than
keeping hostages in. Hostages are afraid to attempt
escape. Don't require a lot of security. . to prevent
escape. That's about it.
PAUSE
Okay.
TURN OVER TAPE
#14: Okay, we're now ready for debrief.
PAUSE
#7: Need a desk in here.
#14: Or at least a drafting table.
#7: Ha ha.
#7: Okay, we don't need a picture of him on the couch.
Oh, somehow associated with him, or in the vicinity,
or something, was something that looked like an
old-fashioned - what do you call it -
#7: Switchboard. . Telephone switchboard. It had the
old-fashioned big,.three inch long phone jacks.
We don't need that. Oh, and the overhead was . .
I had the feeling it was something that projected
out from the . . out from the wall rather massive.

#7: And there was like some kind of a beam or something
overhead. I couldn't see how many of these there
were, but . . . I think this was the room that he
normally spent time in but was not the room that he
was presently in.
Oh yeah,_I remember, there was something else that
might have been significant in identifying where he
was, was a . . . an onion shaped . . . light fixture.
And this appeared to be brass or something. I couldn't
tell what size it was. It was from the, you know,
hanging from the overhead.
Thought this might in some way help to identify room
or building.
#14: Okay, you described some mud-shaped, putty, something
that looked like a stick of dynamite and . . . wires
leading . . .
#7: Out of a building, across the wall, went into the air
and went across the street somewhere into another
building. It must have been at least a second story.
#14: Can you describe this other building?
#7: It was a building that was much higher than two stories
high. Rather drab, nondescript building. Could have
been an office type building or something like that.
The building, I think was more than four stories high
and I felt that the room where the wires went to were
. . or the scene of the building where they entered
was about the second story. I just assumed . . No,
I saw inside. I sou some kind of console. Some kind
of console - inside. I saw the stick of dynamite and
I thought, Gee it sure is primitive, its old-fashioned.
The mud then appeared and I found myself asking myself
did the fact that I recognized this was old-fashioned
create the mud shape stuff which I think was probably
plastic explosive.
#7: I don't know. . about that, but the image of the dynamite
with the fuse coming out of it was very vivid and very

 Approved For Release 20 DP96-00788R000800910001-4
very sharp. And when I saw it, it was about two
feet in front of my face. I felt control of all
of this. Was definitely a . . . outside the compound
across the-wall.
#14: Is there anything worth drawing of that?
#7: Stick of dynamite, no. The wires. . . The wires
seemed to come together and go out of the building
in the direction he was pointing and I felt the
bigger part of the charge inside this building was
in the direction he was pointing. But I saw it go
outside the building and I picked it up again going
over the wall and I was looking around to see where
in the heck it went and it looked like it crossed
the street, you know, 20 feet above the street.
#14: Did you get a good look at the console?
#7: Oh, it was about 2 foot deep. A little bigger than
a portable TV. Well, there's all sizes of portable
TV's, aren't there. It was about . . about 30 inches
by 24 inches deep by . . 24 inches high and the front
kind of sloped back. And it had little levers and
buttons and dials. I don't know what it was.
When I looked in the . . was looking around to see
you know, what the security was around this area,
I couldn't find anything that I could recognize by
looking and then I tried to converse with him. And,
I got the feeling that the security of keeping the
people in was more fear on their part of what would
happen if they did try to move out. I got the feeling
of at least, tha tthey thought, areas were booby
trapped. If they tried to go beyond certain points
that they would blow themselves up. I was unable to
determine whether these booby traps actually existed
or whether they were made to believe that it did.
I found the machine gun somewhere near an entry to
the building. I'd say 100 feet away. At least. .
I'd say about 10 feet in the air. It guarded that
entrance or exit as it may be. I looked around and
found it also commanded a lot of the open space
inside the compound. At that time, I started looking
around to see what else I might find and I started
examining the grass very carefully and I saw what
looked like someone had cut a sod about a foot, 14
inches wide and cut it back about 18 inches - like
it had been rolled back. I don't know whether a

 Approved For Release 200wuolut . -RDP96-00788R000800910001-4
a listening device had been put under their,
or some booby trap or a mine. I was looking to
see if mines were put there and I thought I
would be able to just see the mines but I did not
see an image of mines. While I was examining the
grass I saw something nearby that was just like a
blunder-bust shot gun. blasted off straight up in
the air. Very tight near the ground and created a
cone something like in the shape of this cone I'm
drawing on Page 3 and bits of dirt and debris in
this cone.
Oh, I thought his present position was to the right
of the entry-way. I don't know whether its the
primary entrance to this building or not. I had
the feeling that the building, for some reason,
either looked like or was called "The Little White
House" or something. I tried to shake that and
shake it out and see what come of it, but I couldn't
do it. I had an awareness, not vision, of a lot of
trees around it. And the building seemed very, quite
close to one of the walls. I can't think of anything
else to draw.
All right. End of session.
