State of Texas,
County of Dallas, ss:
I, John Joe Howlett, being duly sworn say:
1. I am an agent in the Dallas office of the United States Secret Service.
2. On March 20, 1964, counsel to the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy timed me as I walked from the southeast corner of the sixth floor to the second floor lunchroom by the stairway in the Texas School Book Depository Building.
3. During this test, I carried a rifle from the southeast corner of the sixth floor northerly along the east aisle to the northeast corner, then westerly along the north wall past the elevators to the northwest corner. There I placed the rifle on the floor. I then entered the stairwell, walked down the stairway to the second floor landing, and then into the lunchroom.
4. After the second test which was run at a "fast walk," I was not short-winded.
Signed this 11th day of August 1964, at Dallas, Tex.
(S)John Joe Howlett,
John Joe Howlett.
