Mr. Youngblood. I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology. Bachelor of Industrial Engineering.
Mr. Specter. In what year?
Mr. Youngblood. 1949.
Mr. Specter. How were you occupied from termination of your college work until starting with the Secret Service?
Mr. Youngblood. I worked for Bradshaws, Inc., which was a refrigeration and air-conditioning concern in Waycross, Ga., and then worked for Alvin Lindstrom, who is a consulting mechanical engineer in Atlanta, Ga.
Mr. Specter. And would you outline in general terms what your duties have been with the Secret Service since the time you joined them?
Mr. Youngblood. I began in the Secret Service as a special agent, criminal investigator, and started off at the Atlanta field office, and stayed there about a year and a half. This time was spent in investigation of Government forged check cases, bond cases, counterfeiting, and similar investigations.
(At this point, Chief Justice Warren withdrew from the hearing room.)
Mr. Youngblood. I came to the Washington, DC. area, and worked in the Washington field office, a continuation of the same type of work I had done in Atlanta, plus the beginning of the protective work, working on temporary assignment at the White House detail. And then in 1953 I was assigned to the White House detail and worked there during the Eisenhower Administration about 6 years, and returned to the Atlanta field office for 3 more years in that area, during which time President Eisenhower would come to Augusta and Albany, and on two occasions on foreign trips I was called in.
And after 3 years in that field office, I returned to Washington again, assigned to the White House detail. The last part of the Eisenhower Administration and the beginning of the Kennedy Administration.
