Representative Ford. In this Commission 711 you actually typed it out yourself?
Mr. Brian. Yes, sir.
Representative Ford. Are you a fairly accomplished typist?
Mr. Brian. No, sir. I can type fairly well. I am not a touch typist. I can't copy, but I can type fairly well typing something I don't have to copy off of a sheet of paper. In other words, I have to look at the keys to type it.
Representative Ford. Did you have to rewrite this a second time on the typewriter?
Mr. Brian. Yes, sir. I made several strikeovers and some other stuff, and typed it, I had to type it over again.
Representative Ford. In other words, you typed it out once, and then retyped it yourself?
Mr. Brian. Yes, sir; I typed it twice. The first time everything wasn't right in there and the spelling and the strikeovers and stuff, and not being an accomplished typist I still don't like to throw things out, you know, that don't look too bad so I typed it over again.
Representative Ford. But after you typed it over the first time did you show it to somebody else?
Mr. Brian. I believe Lieutenant Revill looked at it and called a bunch of mistakes to my attention.
