Agent Roy Kellerman says:
"Sir with all due respect, I'm the Special Agent in Charge of the White House Detail of the Secret Service. This is the body of the President of the United States and we are taking it back to Washington."*
Rose is not intimidated.
"This homicide happened in Dallas County. Under the law there must be an autopsy."*
*from The Kennedy Detail by Gerald Blaine
Ken O'Donnell, JFK's appointments secretary, wants Rose to make an exception for the President.
Rose says:
"In the eyes of the law, it's just another homicide."
The agents & Kennedy staff have heard enough. They force their way through pushing Rose & the police officer aside.
The casket is loaded into the hearse waiting outside as Mrs. Kennedy watches.
