Mr. Belin. What does it say there on that transcript?

Mr. Harkness. "Witness says shots came from fifth floor, Texas Book Depository store at Houston and Elm. I have him with me now and we are sealing off the building."

Mr. Belin. All right, that was at 12:36 p.m.?

Mr. Harkness. Yes, sir.

Mr. Belin. Had the building been sealed off at that time?

Mr. Harkness. Not to my knowledge. There were several officers around it, but I don't know whether it had been sealed off or not.

Mr. Belin. In the process of sealing off the building, what did you do?

Mr. Harkness. Asked for a squad.

Mr. Belin. How long did it take you after that to have the back part sealed off?

Mr. Harkness. The squad was arriving by the time I got off my motorcycle. There was already additional squads en route.
