Mr. Rankin. Yes. Now, what was in the next car.
Mr. Curry. The President's party was in that car. Then following him was the Secret Service vehicle and then I understand was the Vice President's car, and then behind him was a Secret Service car. And then they had cars lined up as listed in this report here, how they were lined up after that.
Mr. Rankin. Now, after you turned the corner off of Main going onto Houston, will you describe what happened as you recall it?
Mr. Curry. Nothing unusual occurred. We were, I would say traveling perhaps 10 miles an hour, would be the ordinary speed to make a turn, and probably was making that speed after we made a turn from north, going north on Houston to west on Elm Street, and——
Mr. Rankin. Did you slow down for the turn onto Elm?
Mr. Curry. Perhaps just a little. I would say we were probably going 8 to 10 miles an hour. And as we were moving downward the triple underpass which is about an ordinary block we were beginning to pick up a little speed.
Mr. Rankin. How much of a descent is there between where the Depository Building is and the place in the underpass?
Mr. Curry. It is a pretty good little drop. Within the space of a block it drops down enough to go under an underpass.
Mr. Rankin. It would be more than the height of a car?
Mr. Curry. Yes; two heights.
