Mr. Specter. I now show you a photostatic copy of what purports to be an affidavit which you gave to the Sheriff's Department of the County of Dallas, Tex., on November 22, 1963, and has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 357. Would you take a look at that, take your time, of course, and tell us whether or not that is the affidavit which you took on the occasion which you have just related?
Mr. Rowland. Yes. In fact, at this time I also noted that my wife dragged me across the street.
Mr. Specter. Just one detail on that statement: There is a reference here to the man holding the rifle being in a position which you describe as "a parade-rest sort of position." That appears——
Mr. Rowland. It does appear in there?
Mr. Specter. Eighteen lines down.
Mr. Rowland. Yes; I see it. It wasn't a parade-rest position. It was a port-arms position. I never noticed that in there before. There were—actually, I will say this, I said what I had to say. The FBI agent reworded it, and she took it down.
Now this happened; it wasn't my words verbatim, it was reworded.
Mr. Specter. Did you ever use the words "parade-rest" position?
Mr. Rowland. Not to my recollection.
Mr. Specter. So it is just an error in transcription which you did not notice when you signed it.
