Mr. Specter. Were you able to make any personal observation about Governor Connally's specific wound?
Mr. Greer. No, sir. I didn't know how badly anyone really was injured. I had great thoughts the President was still living and that was the only thing I was thinking about was to get them in quick.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe anything specific which led you to the conclusion that the President was still living?
Mr. Greer. No, sir. When he was in the emergency room and I was there, I did see his chest expand and move, the movement of the chest a time or so.
Mr. Specter. Were you able to observe any wound on the front side of the President?
Mr. Greer. No, sir; I didn't, I never seen any on the front side of the President. The only thing I saw was on the head. I didn't know at the time of any other injuries on him.
Mr. Specter. As to the front side of the President's body, were you able to observe any hole or tear in either his shirt or tie?
Mr. Greer. No, sir; I didn't and I brought them back, those things, and I didn't see them at the time. I probably didn't inspect them very closely but they were handed to me in a paper bag to bring back.
Mr. Specter. When did you acquire custody and possession of those items of clothing?
Mr. Greer. After they had made the President's body ready for removal, I was in the emergency room, and a nurse got two shopping bags and I held them and she put the President's suit, his belongings into the two bags including his shoes and socks, and his pants and jacket which they had torn and the shirt they had torn, they had torn it to take it off him, and the nurse put these into the two bags and I got custody of them right then from the nurse at the emergency room.
