Mr. Stern. These were informal trips, without publicity?
Mr. Sorrels. There was publicity. For example, the one that he came to the hospital, it wasn't announced until about 10 o'clock in the morning that he would be there.
He came there, I guess, a little over 2 or 3 hours after that—just a very quick trip, and not much time to make any preparation.
But, fortunately, everything went real good.
Mr. Stern. Mr. Sorrels, is there any significant difference that occurs to you in the protective arrangements, including the advance arrangements, for the November trip to Dallas by President Kennedy, and this trip you were telling us about that President Roosevelt made to Dallas, which involved a similar motorcade, in 1936, I believe you said?
Mr. Sorrels. No, sir.
Mr. Stern. About the same advance preparation?
Mr. Sorrels. Yes, sir.
Mr. Stern. Protective organization?
Mr. Sorrels. Yes, sir.
