BELIN: Did he state it was on what floor?
HOLMES: First floor. The front entrance to the first floor.
Alan Ford: This exchange eliminates an encounter on the 2nd floor, let alone in the lunchroom, because Holmes tells us Mr. Oswald told his interrogators precisely where he met the policeman and his superintendent (Roy Truly). Not upstairs. Rather on the first floor, specifically, quote The front entrance to the first floor.
Oswald mistakenly referred to his foreman, Bill Shelley, as his superintendent. Or Holmes mistakenly interpreted Oswald's referral to meeting his foreman as instead meeting his superintendent. Please note that Holmes' memorandum calls this person "his boss".
And we do have an independent source for placing Shelley on the front landing, which is Bookhout's solo report (Warren Report p. 619), where Oswald claimed he "stood around for five or ten minutes with foreman BILL SHELLEY"
The building superintendent, Roy Truly, was upstairs with Baker, nearing the Depository roof, at the time in question.
**********************
Alan Ford: Mr. Oswald is saying what anyone else would say upon observing a chaotic scene unfolding around us, we would simply leave the front entrance door, where our policeman and our superintendent initially encounter us, and walk down the stairs to get a closer look to determine what is happening amid the maddening scene. As far as Mr. Oswald stating he was "up in the building" he simply meant under the canopy near the place where the policeman and his superintendent encountered him, quote, The front entrance to the first floor.
There isn't a single witness sighting that corroborates this dreck. Ford is imagining that Oswald, upon reacting to the commotion, went down the entranceway steps. But Holmes' testimony specifically states that "He said, I went down, and as I started to go out and see what it was all about, a police officer stopped me just before I got to the front door."
Oswald was upstairs in the building, then he went down, then he got to the front door.

Do have a nice day, unless you've made other plans.
