Mr. Belin. The first one after 12:30?

Mr. Sawyer. The first one after 12:30, yes, that is true.

Mr. Belin. Then at 12:40, there is a bunch of calls at 12:40, with the next call number at 12:43, so you assume sometime 12:40 and 12:43 you, as No. 9, called in, is that correct?

Mr. Sawyer. That's correct.

Mr. Belin. Would you read what it says that you said there?

Mr. Sawyer. "We need more manpower down here at the Texas Book Depository; there should be a bunch on Main if somebody can pick them up and bring them down here."

Mr. Belin. Was that said before or after you came down from the elevator?

Mr. Sawyer. That was after.

Mr. Belin. Was that before or after you told the men there to guard the front door and not let anyone in or out?

Mr. Sawyer. That was after.
