The US Navy used the lightning speed of the PT boat to attack with quick surprise launching torpedoes and strafing the enemy craft with 50 caliber heavy machine gun rounds. In addition to expanded powers for the attorney general to enforce court-ordered school desegregation, he also asked for an end to job discrimination and expanded funds for job training, which could help African Americans better compete for good jobs, and the creation of a federal community relations service, which could work to improve race relations.

(His interest in how men and women react to life-threatening pressures would later take him to Hiroshima, where he did a landmark New Yorker series about survivors of the nuclear blast.)

Kennedy ordered everyone back aboard the part of the PT-109 still afloat. When I first saw it, he had the revolver in his hand pointing it toward McDonald, and thats when I tried to get just as close to him as possible, trying to grab for the weapon.

The end of the downtown portion of the motorcade was Dealey Plaza. Asst. Mary took the picture and fell on the ground and of course there were more shots. Kennedy concluded the hour-and-10-minute meeting by promising nothing more than reports on likely votes in the House and the Senate.

We broke and all ran up there, and then President Kennedy headed straight for the fence and started walking along the fence shaking hands with people.I was always a little quicker than other guys. He lost the 109 through very poor organization of his crew, Gibson later said. Liebenow fired twice and also missed. Mrs. Kennedy had on a really cute pink outfit, and Gov.

American Campaign Medal I did have my revolver in my hand at that particular time.Once I got to the balcony I could see several officers coming in from the stage or back entrance. (Signaling his unaltered conviction that the bomb throwersas Vice President Lyndon Johnson called uncompromising liberalswould do more to retard than advance a civil rights bill, Kennedy jokingly advised against including Reuther in the delegation that would see Ike.)

Chief Curry: The news media, a number of them, had continued to say: Let us see him.

OSWALD MISSING FROM DEPOSITORY 1:03 P.M. After the rescue boats picked up the 109 crew, Kennedy kept to his bunk on the return to Lumbari while the other men happily filled the notebooks of the reporters on board. At about 15 minutes before he was scheduled to appear, I looked out and people were already gathering in rain gear, some with umbrellasand I thought: Oh, what a mess. I kept the door closed most of the time, let doctors and nurses in and out while they were working on him. Kennedy kept his speed to a crawl hoping to keep the wake and noise to a minimum in order to avoid detection. All along, he harbored suspicions that the PT-109 incident was clouding his friends judgment.
