The following list is separated by those who either (a) did not go outside the School Book Depository or did not say, or (b) those who did go outside. Of the latter group, it is sorted by those who did not go back inside, and those who did.

The column headed "Locked" indicates those who said that they did not go inside because the door was locked (two exceptions: Palmer, who was not at work on November 22, but who drove to the TSBD on hearing the news of JFK's shooting and attempted to get in; and Hicks who found the doors locked when she attempted to leave the building). Those in parentheses did not state specifically that they found the doors locked, but said that they were accompanied by individuals who did say the doors were locked.

The column headed "Told" are those that indicated that other employee(s) told them that if they went inside, they would not be allowed back in, or who were told by police that they could not go inside.
