Mr. Tomlinson. That's right.
Mr. Specter. But, you don't remember whether you told him it was A you took off of the elevator?
Mr. Tomlinson. I think it was A—I'm not really sure.
Mr. Specter. Which did you tell the Secret Service agent—that you thought it was A that you took off of the elevator?
Mr. Tomlinson. Really, I couldn't be real truthful in saying I told him this or that.
Mr. Specter. You just don't remember for sure whether you told him you thought it was A or not?
Mr. Tomlinson. No, sir; I really don't remember. I'm not accustomed to being questioned by the Secret Service and the FBI and by you and they are writing down everything, I mean.
Mr. Specter. That's all right. I understand exactly what you are saying and I appreciate it and I really just want to get your best recollection.
We understand it isn't easy to remember all that went on, on a day like November 22d, and that a man's recollection is not perfect like every other part of a man, but I want you to tell me just what you remember, and that's the best you can do today, and I appreciate that, and so does the President's Commission, and that's all we can ask a man.
Mr. Tomlinson. Yes, I'm going to tell you all I can, and I'm not going to tell you something I can't lay down and sleep at night with either.
