Mr. Rankin. Then what happened?
Mr. Curry. We heard this report, and then all of the tension that followed I have told you.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mr. Dulles. What was the distance between your car and the President's car approximately?
Mr. Curry. Mr. Dulles, I believe to the best of my knowledge it would have been 100, 125 feet.
Mr. Dulles. Between your car and the President's car?
Mr. Curry. Yes, we stayed pretty close to them. In the planning of this motorcade, we had had more motorcycles lined up to be with the President's car, but the Secret Service didn't want that many.
Mr. Rankin. Did they tell you why?
Mr. Curry. We actually had two on each side but we wanted four on each side and they asked us to drop out some of them and back down the motorcade, along the motorcade, which we did.
Mr. Rankin. How many motorcycles did you have?
