Mr. Youngblood. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. Did you review it and approve it when it was completed, after the end of the workday on November 22?
Mr. Youngblood. Well, not exactly at the end of the workday, sir. These agents would keep notes. And in this particular case you can see that this one, it says, "Date completed, December 2" down at the bottom. That is when he got around to typing it.
Mr. Specter. Well, does this document bear your initial in any place?
Mr. Youngblood. Yes, sir; up at the top. The "RYW" is my initials.
Mr. Specter. And does that signify your approval shortly after completion of the document?
Mr. Youngblood. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. All right. Would you go ahead and tell us what your activities were from the time you had learned that the President had died?
Mr. Youngblood. Well, when Mr. O'Donnell and Roy Kellerman told us that he had died, the Vice President said, "Well, how about Mrs. Kennedy?"
O'Donnell told the Vice President that Mrs. Kennedy would not leave the hospital without the President's body. And O'Donnell suggested we go to the plane and that they just come on the other plane. And I might add that, as a word of explanation, there were two jet planes, one Air Force 1, in which the President flew, and the other Air Force 2, in which the Vice President and his party flew on. And O'Donnell told us to go ahead and take Air Force 1. I believe this is mainly because Air Force 1 has better communications equipment and so forth than the other planes.
