Two men are in a room discussing security for a presidential visit; one man gestures toward a window showing a train station with police and vehicles outside. The dialogue reveals the FBI is involved alongside local law enforcement and the Secret Service.
“Mr. Barron, something I don't understand.” 26:02 · “And though we made every precautionary check, we never went to extremes like this unless... Unless you were tipped that there was to be an attempted assassination. You don't mean it. I mean it.” 26:09 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
