The President's Commission reconvened at 2 p.m.
Mr. McCloy. Mr. Lawson, you know the general purpose of what we are here for?
Mr. Lawson. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCloy. In the way of trying to get as much information as we can, not only regarding the assassination of the President but also some background as to the steps that have been taken to protect him and as well as perhaps to take some testimony with the thought that we might be able to recommend measures that might insure future security of our Presidents. I will ask you, if you will, to rise and I will swear you.
Do you solemnly swear the testimony you will give in this hearing will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Lawson. I do.
Mr. McCloy. Go ahead.
Mr. Stern. Mr. Lawson, would you state your name, age, and address for the record, please?
Mr. Lawson. Winston George Lawson, 35 years old, 516 Vista Drive, apartment 204. Falls Church, Va.
Mr. Stern. What was your education at the college level?
