Mr. O'Brien. I know that Senator Yarborough, Mrs. Johnson, and the Vice President were seated in the rear of the car, and my recollection is that again the Vice President was on the right, Mrs. Johnson in the middle, Senator Yarborough on the left.
Mr. Adams. Now, as you went on in town, tell me about the crowds, if you would.
Mr. O'Brien. The crowds were large, unusually large for an extremely long—mileagewise—long trip into the city. I was impressed with the size of the crowd. The comment in our car, however, was that the crowd was rather reserved. As a matter of fact, Congressman Rogers, who, as I told you, was on the left rear, commented and called out from time to time in a jocular vein, "Hello", "Howdy", and suggested to them that they ought to smile and look perky, which we felt they were not doing during the course of the trip from the airport to the outskirts of the business area.
Mr. Adams. Up to that point, I suppose it was chiefly residential areas that you passed through?
Mr. O'Brien. It seemed to be residential, and a great deal of small industry. The crowd looked to me to be middle to upper class business type to a great extent.
Mr. Adams. Did you know the city of Dallas yourself?
Mr. O'Brien. No; I did not.
Mr. Adams. Had you been there before?
Mr. O'Brien. No; I had not.
Mr. Adams. Then as you got into the city, what was the nature of the crowds?
