Page "Walter Cronkite" Paragraph 37

Less than 45 minutes later, at about 3: 30 pm EST, Cronkite returned to the anchor position, this time in his jacket, to replace Collingwood.

The highlights of new details included the swearing-in ceremony of the new President, Lyndon B. Johnson, the arrest of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the first new bits of news from Dallas, during which time his reports were interspersed with new information from Dan Rather and Eddie Barker at KRLD's studio.

After Cronkite left the anchor desk again he was replaced by Collingwood ; Cronkite's next appearance came nearly two hours later, when he took over for Harry Reasoner at the desk so he could anchor The CBS Evening News as scheduled.
