Mr. Specter. What is your best estimate of the minimum speed during this same interval?
Mr. Hill. Twelve to fifteen miles per hour. We did stop.
Mr. Specter. On what occasion did you stop?
Mr. Hill. Between Love Field and Main Street, downtown Dallas, on the right-hand side of the street there were a group of people with a long banner which said, "Please, Mr. President, stop and shake our hands." And the President requested the motorcade to stop, and he beckoned to the people and asked them to come and shake his hand, which they did.
Mr. Specter. Did the President disembark from his automobile at that time?
Mr. Hill. No; he remained in his seat.
Mr. Specter. At that time what action, if any, did you take?
Mr. Hill. I jumped from the followup car and ran up to the left rear portion of the automobile with my back toward Mrs. Kennedy viewing those persons on the left-hand side of the street.
Mr. Specter. What action was taken by any other Secret Service agent which you observed at that time?
Mr. Hill. Special Agent Ready, who was working the forward portion of the right running board, did the same thing, only on the President's side, placed his back toward the car, and viewed the people facing the President. Assistant in Charge Kellerman opened the door of the President's car and stepped out on the street.
