Mr. Lawson. Yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. For use during the visit of the President? Were you told anything about the assistance you would have in doing advance work for the Dallas trip?
Mr. Lawson. Could you be more explicit, please?
Mr. Stern. Whether you would have another agent assigned to do the work with you?
Mr. Lawson. Oh, yes. I had been told earlier, sometime between November 4 and 8, that another agent would be accompanying me, but, because of the Presidential trips which were occurring right at that time, that they would not be able to send out one at the same time, and he would have to join me later in Dallas after some of the other trips had been taken care of.
Mr. Stern. What were the usual arrangements as far as assignments?
Mr. Lawson. Quite often two agents would go out at the same time; yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. And your responsibilities and those of this other agent when he joined you pertained only to Dallas; is that correct?
Mr. Lawson. Yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. You were not concerned with any other city in the President's route?
