Youngblood's Recounting of Johnson's Oath of Office
LBJ, Rufus Youngblood
Although his testimony includes the extremely high intensity and action packed events before this point, the last two paragraphs of Youngblood's written testimony contain his account of President Johnson's Oath of Office. He listed who was present, when it occurred, who took pictures of the event, and why he himself, always by Johnson's side, was not in the picture.

Word Frequency in Rufus Youngbloods December 1963 Written Testimony to the Secret Service
Kennedy Assassination
Here is a graphic made in Voyant Tools that highlights the word frequency of the 85 most used terms in Rufus Youngblood's written testimony to the Chief of the Secret Service regarding the events of November 22, 1963. The testimony itself was transcribed from the scanned pages of the original typed testimony found in the National Archives Digital Collections. It shows how much close he was in proximity to Vice President Johnson at the time of the assassination because "vice" and "president" are two of his most used words.
