Now, my mother, let's go back a little bit. Back in 1954 my mother was on the floor when the nationalist group came from Puerto Rico, was it?  Yeah.    

2
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:26.000
And shot up into the crowd down there.  My mother was in a chair there and when she got down on the floor it had a bullet hole in it after she got out.

3
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:37.000
She crawled on her hands and knees back to the cloakroom and had looked around to see, she was a very good woman in a lot of ways and knew a lot 

4
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:45.000
and she went in there and got the phone off the hook and called her office and tell them that as far as I can see the Members from New York are okay.  

5
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:54.200
And then Elizabeth Montgomery of the Post did an article about her, you know, on it, that very night I think it was, the next day in the daily news.  

6
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:06.300
And that was a very sad time, but I had seen it then, you see, very closely, what can happen when something like this occurs, a terrorist attack or somebody doesn't like our government or what have you.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:19.500
Then there was a lot of talk about putting up a screen like around in upstairs where all the guests are and they all said no, we can't do that.
