DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
On December 11, 1960, just one month and three days after John F. Kennedy was elected President, a 73-year-old man named Richard Paul Pavlick was planning to assassinate the President-Elect in Florida. Here's a Boston newspaper from late December of 1960, featuring articles about Pavlick (click to enlarge):

The shrugging Secret Service agent in the 11/22/63 Love Field television footage is positively Donald Lawton.
Lawton was never assigned to be part of the motorcade drive through Dallas. His assignment was "to remain at the airport to effect security for the President's departure" (a direct quote from Lawton's 11/30/63 report, via Commission Exhibit No. 2554).
DON JEFFRIES SAID THIS.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Where do you think Henry Rybka is located in the photo below, Don? I think Rybka is the shorter agent wearing sunglasses stationed at the very rear of JFK's car. Lawton is the other SS agent wearing sunglasses in this picture:
And when we look at Rybka's report in Commission Exhibit 2554, we can see that the location of the shorter agent in sunglasses in the above photograph is the SS agent who most closely matches the position of the agent who wrote the words seen below:
"Upon arrival at Love Field...I [proceeded] to the follow-up car 679-X and stationed myself at the right front fender of 679-X and the rear of 100-X. There I stopped everyone from going in between the cars. Once the motorcade began to move, I moved along with it, until the motorcade picked up speed." -- Henry Rybka [Via CE2554]
