[Kennedy Assassination]. Three items related to John F. Kennedy, two of them to the assassination: (1) 13-page testimony of Clinton J. Hill, Special Agent, Secret Service Signed "Clint Hill" at the bottom of pages 1 and 13. Hill, who had been assigned to protect First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, was in the presidential motorcade with President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963; Hill was in the car immediately behind the Presidential car. In this testimony, he gives a graphic, detailed description of the assassination to a Congressional committee. At the first shot, Hill ran toward the presidential car and just as he reached it, the second shot was fired. He pulled Mrs. Kennedy down into the back seat and threw himself on top of her. Hill continued to protect Mrs. Kennedy and the children until the 1964 presidential election, at which time he was assigned to President Lyndon B. Johnson.
