Mr. Specter. What year were you graduated?
Mr. Hill. 1954.
Mr. Specter. What have you done since the time of graduation from college, Mr. Hill?
Mr. Hill. I went into the Army in 1954; remained in the Army until 1957. Then I couldn't determine what I wanted to do, whether to go to law school or not, and I took a couple of odd jobs. I worked for a finance company at one time. Then I went to work for the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad as a special agent in the spring of 1958, and entered the Secret Service in September 1958.
Mr. Specter. You have been with the Secret Service since September 1958 to the present time?
Mr. Hill. Yes; I have.
Mr. Specter. Will you outline for the Commission your duties with the Secret Service during your tenure there?
Mr. Hill. I entered the Secret Service in Denver, and during that period I did both investigative and protection work. I was assigned to Mrs. Doud, the mother-in-law of President Eisenhower. I attended the Treasury Law Enforcement School during my first year, and was sent to the White House for a 30-day temporary assignment at the White House in June 1959. In November of 1959, November 1, I was transferred to the White House on a permanent basis as a special agent assigned to the White House detail. I have been at the White House since that time.
Mr. Specter. Now, were you assigned to duties on the trip of President Kennedy to Texas in November 1963?
Mr. Hill. Yes, sir; I was.
