Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson, who had accompanied President John Fitzgerald Kennedy to Texas for his campaign and goodwill tour was sworn in as 36th President of the United States on Air Force One after Mrs. Kennedy returned to the president's jet with the casket containing President Kennedy's remains and their staffs by Federal Judge Sarah Hughes. President Kennedy's daily Roman Missal was used in lieu of a Bible because the missal had been mistaken for a Bible by one of Johnson's aides.
