(Testimony of Nancy Perrin Rich)

Mr. Hubert.
the document has been identified, you have written in all that appears in handwriting?
Mrs. Rich.
That is correct.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember on what floor this apartment was that you visited?
Mrs. Rich.
I believe the first.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember whether it was to the left or the right as you went in?
Mrs. Rich.
There was no question of left or right as such. It was--you just walked in. There was no hallway to indicate left or right, if that is what you are referring to.
Mr. Hubert.
In other words, this apartment actually opened on the path?
Mrs. Rich.
That is correct.
Mr. Hubert.
How many rooms did it have?
Mrs. Rich.
I don't recall whether it was a one or two bedroom.
Mr. Hubert.
Can you give us any other description of the apartment building, first of all?
Mrs. Rich.
The apartment itself wasn't too well furnished.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it a brick apartment?
Mrs. Rich.
I believe it was. Either brick or stucco.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know the color of it?
Mrs. Rich.
I don't. But I believe it had colored doors. Now, I could be mistaken.
Mr. Hubert.
And the apartment itself was one or two bedrooms, and I think you say it was not well furnished. Do you recall anything about the interior of the apartment that would be significant?
Mrs. Rich.
Let me clarify that. When I say not well furnished, I should have said sparsely furnished. It looked like an unfurnished apartment that he had just thrown some furniture into and not too much of it. I believe I remember he said something about he just moved in; hadn't finished it.
Mr. Hubert.
Did it have lamps in it?
Mrs. Rich.
I believe it did. I think it had one lamp on the table.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall anything about the furniture that was there?
Mrs. Rich.
Yes; it was, I believe you call it Danish modern.
Mr. Hubert.
Was it upholstered?
Mrs. Rich.
I don't recall. It was typical cheap apartment furniture. I believe it had plastic upholstery.
Mr. Hubert.
I think you said you went there at night.
Mrs. Rich.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
About what time?
Mrs. Rich.
It was after dark. Probably 9 o'clock.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you recall how long it took you to drive from where you were living to this place?
Mrs. Rich.
No; I do not.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you get there?
Mrs. Rich.
In Dave's car. Now, again, I said four people present. I should have counted--he had a girl with him. She wasn't in it or anything, just some girl he had along for the evening. She war never part of it. In fact, I think she stayed in the car.
Mr. Hubert.
How long were you in the place ?
Mrs. Rich.
Oh, probably half an hour, 45 minutes, an hour at the most.
Mr. Hubert.
What was the general discussion?
Mrs. Rich.
Feeling each other out. I just kind of sat there and listened. The general gist of it was we were going to obtain a boat, the colonel could obtain various things, and nothing specific was mentioned on what the various things were at that time. And we were going to go and pick up--they were deciding where to pick them up-pick up Cuban refugees, and bring them over to the main coast, meaning Miami, which, quite frankly, I adhered to because at that time, as I say, Castro is or was what we suppose him to be today, and quite frankly I had seen underprivileged countries and at that time thought it was a good idea.
Mr. Hubert.
Was the sum of $10,000 mentioned at that meeting?
