Rachley Donald Baker

I understand that you were employed at the time of the assassination as a bookkeeper at the Texas School Book Depository; is that correct?

Yes.

How long had you worked there?

Well, I have been there since July 16, 1963.

Last year?

Yes.

Did you ever meet Lee Harvey Oswald or have occasion to see him while you were employed at the Texas School Book Depository?

I had seen him.

You had seen him?

Yes.

Had you ever said anything to him or talked to him at all?

No, sir.

Did you form any impression of him just from seeing him around the building?

Just that he was awful quiet.

Other than that, did you form any impression of him at all?

No, sir.

Tell me what happened on the 22d of November in connection with the motorcade, would you please, what you saw and what you did?

Well, we came out of the building across the street at approximately 12 or 12:15 and we stood out in front, directly in front of the Depository Building and as the motorcade came by the President waved and he got down ----

Where were you standing at this point, at the time the motorcade came along?

Well, there is a divisional line--I don't know exactly what you would call it--the little part of the street that runs in front of the Depository and then there is--I don't know what you would call it--the grassy stuff that comes out to form the plaza along the front.

You say there is a little street that runs immediately in front of the School Book Depository Building; is that right?

Yes.

Do you know if that street has a name or not?

I'm sure it doesn't----I have never seen one.

And then after that little street that runs right in front of the Depository Building, there is a little strip of grass with some trees on it; is that correct?

Yes.

And then comes Elm Street; is that right?
