Mr. Youngblood. Assistant special agent in charge of the White House detail.
Mr. Specter. And, as such, do you hold one of the three positions of the assistant special agent in charge at the White House detail?
Mr. Youngblood. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. And is that a rank comparable or exactly the same as that now held by Special Agent Kellerman?
Mr. Youngblood. Yes, sir; he is senior to me, but it is a comparable rank.
Mr. Specter. Now, would you outline briefly and in general terms the activities of Vice President Johnson during the few days immediately before Friday, November 22, 1963?
Mr. Youngblood. On Tuesday of that week we made a trip from the ranch to Dallas, and we went by commercial plane—actually, from the ranch to Austin in the Vice President's plane, and from Austin to Dallas on a commercial plane. And while in Dallas, he addressed the Bottlers Convention. And we returned to the plane, flew back to Austin, then flew back to the ranch later that night, and remained at the ranch the next day and through Thursday.
And on Thursday we went to San Antonio, to join the group coming down from Washington.
Mr. Specter. Now, when did Vice President Johnson then address the Bottlers Association in Dallas?
Mr. Youngblood. That was on Tuesday.
