The Chairman. Congressman Ford.
Representative Ford. Did you ever have any thought there were more than three shots?
Mr. Greer. No, sir; I never did.
Representative Ford. Did you positively identify the fact that there were one, two, three, or was there one, and then a delay, and then a flurry?
Mr. Greer. To the best of my recollection, Congressman, was that the last two were closer together than the first one. It seemed like the first one, and then there was, you know, bang, bang, just right behind it almost. The two seemed, the last two seemed, closer to me than the other.
Representative Boggs. Did you speed up after you heard the first shot?
Mr. Greer. After I heard the second. The first one didn't sink into me, didn't give me the thought that it was a shot. I thought it was the backfire of a motorcycle. But when I heard the second one and glanced over my shoulder, I knew something was wrong then. I didn't know how bad anyone was injured or anything, but I knew there was something wrong, and right away after the second one I accelerated as fast as I could.
The Chairman. Mr. Craig, would you like to ask any questions?
Mr. Craig. Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice.
With respect to the position of the President's car that you were driving as it approached the underpass, you state now that you couldn't fix any specific distance. But would you say it was less than a mile that the President's car was from the overpass?
