Q And if it was a conversation that is indi-4 cated here, it was because you heard that conversation
""d ""d*
f it?
i, 5
A Yes, that is correct.
b Q
Did anyone else supply you with information 7
indirectly which made their way into the notes here?
8 A
I believe the page you have in front of you, yes, 9
from J.
D.
Phinney.
10 Q
At what timd did you start taking these 11 notes?
12 A
Approximately 7:45.
Q In the evening?
13 A
In the morning.
Q You said you got the assignment in the la, g
early afternoon.
16 A
That's right.
17 How could you have taken the notes in the Q
18 morning if you did not get the assignment until early 19 afternoon?
20 A
As part of my job as plant startup and test P anning and task engineer, I generally take notes.
l 21 had been performing the function of
\\-
Q 22 note taking throughout the day?
23 A
For my own edification, I had been doing that.
24 Q
zou have put in certain times in the notes, 25 BENJAMIN REPORTING SERVICE D.F #

3 or references to time of day that some events occurred, 4
or that you received certain information which went int y ur n tes.
H w did y u ascertain those times?
5 A
With my watch.
Q They were not reconstructed later?
7 A
The times?
8 Q
Yes.
9 A
No, sir.
10 Q
so when you put down, for instance on 11 Page 3,
" Basics of 0745 telephone conversation," it is 12 because you looked at your watch at the time of the telephone conversation, and saw it was 07457 13 A
I may have at times like, for instance, the 0745 phone call, I knew that I came to work at approximately
~
la, 7:45, automatically ' started taking notes when I heard-g 16 about the conversation going on, and them sometime 17 during the conversation at a br ak may have gone back 18 and said, approximatelY 7:45.
19 Where the time was not exact per my watch, I 20 think I almost always put an approximation mark in 21 front of the time.

Q Were y u in the simulator at all on the 22 d
28th?
23 A
No, sir, not in the simulator, j
