Mr. CURRY. If we went on Stemmons Expressway and that is the way they wanted to go. The only other way we could have gone. We could have continued down Main Street passed through the underpass about a block past there to Industrial Boulevard and then we would have gone Industrial Boulevard and made an entrance from the Trade Mart, from the north side of the Trade Mart there. But it was decided with the Secret Service people that we would go Main to Houston, Houston to Elm, Elm through to triple underpass onto the expressway and the expressway to the Trade Mart where they would come off and had parking facilities reserved and had a security setup. Mr. RANKIN. Will you describe the cars of the---- Mr. McCLOY. Just before that, how far before November 22 was that route decided on? Mr. CURRY. Approximately 2 days or so, I believe. That is in this chronological record. Mr. DULLES. When was this route published? Mr. McCLOY. That route was published. Mr. CURRY. It was published perhaps 2 days before, a day or two before. Mr. RANKIN. Is the Elm Street route a shorter route than to go by Industrial Boulevard? Mr. CURRY. It's a more scenic route. The Stemmons Expressway was and it was easier to travel, traffic is easier to control on it, it is a 10-lane highway, and the Industrial Highway is heavily traveled by commercial vehicles and goes through a commercial section of the industrial area. And there was a more scenic route and traffic was more--a freer flow of traffic anyway. Mr. RANKIN. Were you involved in the discussion about the choice of route? Mr. CURRY. Not particularly. Chief Batchelor, my assistant chief, and Chief Lunday. I discussed this some with the Secret Service Agent Sorrels, and Lawson in a staff meeting at city hall. Mr. RANKIN. What was that discussion? Mr. CURRY. Well, we, when I say we, I mean my staff and I, we told them what we thought would be the most direct route. Mr. RANKIN. What did you say that would have been? Mr. CURRY. It would have been to come into Lemmon Avenue, to Central Expressway if they were coming through town and over that route. Now, if they were going directly to the Trade Mart it would have been to come in Lemmon to Inwood Road and down Inwood to Hines, and Hines to Industrial and Industrial into--but this would not have taken them through the downtown area. Mr. RANKIN. Then if they were going to go through the downtown area what did you say about the route that should be taken for that? Mr. CURRY. This was probably the most direct route that they chose except they could have come in what we term the Central Expressway to Main Street, and then west on Main Street right down the route that was taken.
