Mr. Dulles. Was it your usual practice to take lunch in the lunchroom on the second floor?
Mrs. Reid. Yes, it is; every day.
Mr. Dulles. Do you recall whether it was Lee Harvey Oswald's usual practice or how many times possibly you saw him there at lunch with you and the others?
Mrs. Reid. You mean did he come up every day? No, he did not.
Mr. Dulles. Would you think he came up half the days or could you give any—half the working days?
Mrs. Reid. No; I wouldn't say he came that often. I can't recall seeing him up there but three times. We have said since then, since he sat there and didn't say anything and was reading we have often wondered what we discussed before him because we all have a general conversation every day at noon but I don't know we would have said anything that interested him.
But you wondered was he listening to what we were saying, I don't know whether he heard anything but he may have heard what we were saying.
Mr. Dulles. You, of course, knew that Lee Harvey Oswald was an employee of the School Book Depository?
Mrs. Reid. You mean by name before this happened?
Mr. Dulles. That the individual that you later knew was Oswald was one of the employees of the school book?
