    (Text) Moscow--Tonight millions of televiewers could see sequences from a documentary showing the tragic death of U.S. President John Kennedy. The last speech of the President at a reception in Houston and his arrival at the airport in Dallas were shown. The televiewers could see how the car with John Kennedy was moving among the crowds that gathered in the street. The cameramen also filed the very moment of the villainous assassination.
    The program included a story by one of the eyewitnesses who, with his small son, was only five meters away from the President when the latter was killed.
    The televiewers also saw Lee Harvey Oswald, the suspected assassin, at the moment he was shot by Jack Ruby.
    The televiewers could also see how the members of the U.N. General Assembly observed a minute's silence in tribute to the memory of the American President, and how the coffin with his body was brought to Washington. New President of the United States Lyndon Johnson was shown making his first address to the American people.
