I highly doubt that Oswald confirmed the 2nd-floor story. It was not
mentioned in the Hosty/Bookhout joint report re the first interview. In
same, O goes up to the 2nd floor to get a coke, and there's no mention of
a cop. How did the powers that were rectify this? They had Bookhout do a
follow-up report on the first interview, which indeed seems to place the
encounter on the second floor. But, as Hosty notes, before the
Commission, if two agents attend an interview, both must review their
report and sign off on it. Bookhout's report was not signed by Hosty.
In fact, there would have been no reason for a follow-up report--Bookhout
signed off on the joint report. The solo Bookhout report is a fraud.
Also, note that Bookhout, though he discusses the joint report done with
Hosty re the first interview--before the Commission--he does not so much
as mention in passing his *solo* report on it. Of course--because then
he'd have to explain why he went against FBI reporting protocol!
Oswald did *not* confirm the 2nd-floor encounter....

I recall that, before the recordings were revealed, there were tons of
details given in testimony, by many people, about Watergate. So much
detail! So little truth! When not before the Commission, Baker at least
twice made statements about the encounter that omitted any mention of the
lunchroom--his original affidavit and his piece collected in "JFK First
Day Evidence"....

Ever hear of *suborned* perjury? A third party gets the subjects to
change their original stories. Baker and Truly would not even have to
have met again, after that first day....

Well, you tell me. Baker said that he saw Oswald in sleeves in the
lunchroom. A minute later, Mrs. Reid sees him in a T shirt. *Something*
has been invented here, or badly misremembered, or mistimed....

And of course those inept conspirators allowed Oswald to be photographed
in public while the shooting was going on! They made some mistakes, but
that was not likely one of them. The patsy had to be kept out of the
public eye to be usable....
