Mr. Hawkins. I was born in Dallas at Parkland Hospital. I attended the Dallas schools except for 2 years when I lived in Denison and I served 3 years and 4 months in the Coast Guard. I worked at the post office after getting out of the service and then I worked for Dallas Power & Light before coming to the police department some 11 years ago. I have been in the traffic division 8 years last month, which my primary duty is accident investigation. Before this time I served about 3 years in the radio patrol division.
Mr. Ball. On November 22, 1963, you were on duty, were you?
Mr. Hawkins. Yes, sir; I was.
Mr. Ball. What were your hours of duty?
Mr. Hawkins. I was working the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift that day.
Mr. Ball. And were you assigned some special duty because of the presence of the President in the city?
Mr. Hawkins. No, sir; on this day I was working accidents, which is my regular duty. I was working with an officer by the name of Elmer Baggett who had just transferred back into accident and I was giving him a refresher course in the regular duties of accident investigation.
Mr. Ball. Do you work in uniform?
Mr. Hawkins. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Ball. In the regular patrolman's uniform?
