Once there was a crowd of people with a sign saying something like "President Kennedy, please get out and shake our hands, our neighbors said you wouldn't."
Mr. Rankin. Did you?
Mrs. Kennedy. And he stopped and got out. That was, you know, like a little suburb and there were not many crowds. But then the crowds got bigger as you went in.
Mr. Rankin. As you got into the main street of Dallas were there very large crowds on all the streets?
Mrs. Kennedy. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And you waved to them and proceeded down the street with the motorcade?
Mrs. Kennedy. Yes. And in the motorcade, you know, I usually would be waving mostly to the left side and he was waving mostly to the right, which is one reason you are not looking at each other very much. And it was terribly hot. Just blinding all of us.
Mr. Rankin. Now, do you remember as you turned off of the main street onto Houston Street?
Mrs. Kennedy. I don't know the name of the street.
Mr. Rankin. That is that one block before you get to the Depository Building.
