My emotions, as well as those of the other agents, must be suppressed because we cannot allow personal feelings to interfere with the job we have to do. We must act stoically. We do not know if this shooting of President Kennedy and Governor Connally is a singular act or if it is part of something much bigger. Some of the agents from the follow-up car have gone to protect Vice President Johnson, to bolster his protective detail. The agents that were at the Trade Mart have come to Parkland Hospital and are providing perimeter security. We must ensure the continuity of government at all costs. We must be more vigilant than ever. This is no time for us to mourn.

We all share a sense of loss. The President of the United States has been cut down on our watch. We have failed in our responsibility to protect him. That fact cuts deep into the heart and soul of every agent. But we must control our feelings. We must stay on task. We must maintain the proper decorum. The time for our grieving will have to come much later.
