Mr. Jackson.

Well, we got there, I guess, 30, 40 minutes early.

Mr. Specter.

At about what time would that have been?

Mr. Jackson.

I have to think to remember exactly what time, around 9, I guess, 9 to 9:15, I believe. And I took pictures there. There were other photographers from our paper there, our chief photographer. And we just took shots of the crowd, and waited for the President to arrive.
And then when he did arrive, our chief photographer left and went directly to the Trade Mart and I got into the motorcade to ride to town.

Mr. Specter.

Do you know exactly which car you were in in the motorcade?

Mr. Jackson.

We counted up, and it is either the seventh or eighth car. We said eighth car from the President, from the lead car.
