Representative Ford. Was that because Hill had thrown his coat over the President, or just didn't see the skin or the body at the time?
Mr. Kellerman. No, sir. When I—that coat was thrown over, sir, to eliminate any gruesome pictures.
Representative Ford. How far over that body? Did it go over the head only or down the chest?
Mr. Kellerman. No; the whole coat went all the way down to the waistline, sir.
Mr. Specter. You saw the President's face, though, at a later time as you have described?
Mr. Kellerman. Yes, thank you. This I had lost track of, to help you out, Mr. Congressman. While he lay on the stretcher in that emergency room his collar and everything is up and I saw nothing in his face to indicate an injury, whether the shot had come through or not. He was clear.
Representative Ford. But while he was on the stretcher in the emergency room you saw his face?
Mr. Kellerman. That is right.
Representative Ford. But he had his tie and his collar still——
Mr. Kellerman. Still on.
