'' Timequest '' explores the science fiction theme of altering the present day by traveling back in time and tampering with past events . In this particular film , on the morning of November 22 , 1963 , a elderly man ( Ralph Waite ) who wears spacesuit-type clothing materializes in the hotel suite occupied by Jackie Kennedy ( Caprice Benedetti ) . The Time Traveler shows Jackie future television footage of the assassination and funeral of John F. Kennedy ( Victor Slezak ) . Shortly thereafter , the Time Traveler speaks to the president and to the cynical Attorney General Bobby Kennedy ( Vince Grant ) , giving them details of their respective assassinations ( as it takes the Time Traveler quite a bit to convince Robert Kennedy that he is who he says he is as Kennedy attempts to debunk the Time Traveler 's story ) and of the public revelations of JFK 's sex scandals , convincing the president to remain faithful to his wife . The Time Traveler , knowing Bobby 's ways , wo n't state his name or his birthplace , but does mention that he was born on this day . The Time Traveler asks Jackie to dance with him ; she does ( the Time Traveler is obsessed with Jackie Kennedy )
