Mr. Lawson. I didn't have any acknowledgment of it, and I don't know if he saw the signal or not. At least the people didn't move, They still stayed there in the middle.
Mr. Stern. Were you able to see the sides of the overpass, apart from the area directly over the lane you were traveling in? Could you observe more?
Mr. Lawson. I am sure I could have, but I can only recall the people. My immediate problem was right up there on the bridge, and I was concentrating right there. I don't recall anything on either side of the embankments.
Mr. Stern. Or any people?
Mr. Lawson. No, sir; I do not recall any.
Mr. Stern. Just this group?
Mr. Lawson. This group up on the bridge.
Mr. Dulles. Could I ask one question there. I think you testified just now that your car was very close to the overpass.
Mr. Lawson. I believe it was.
Mr. Dulles. And yet your car was only—well, how many feet ahead of the President's car was your car at that time, roughly?
