Dr. Perry. They were.
Mr. Specter. At what time was the pronouncement of death made?
Dr. Perry. Approximately 1 o'clock.
Mr. Specter. By whom was death announced?
Dr. Perry. Dr. Kemp Clark.
Mr. Specter. Was there any special reason why it was Dr. Kemp Clark who pronounced the President had died?
Dr. Perry. It was the opinion of those of us who had attended the President that the ultimate cause of his demise was a severe injury to his brain with subsequent loss of neurologic function and subsequent massive loss of blood, and thus Dr. Clark, being a neurosurgeon, signed the death certificate.
Mr. Specter. In your opinion, would the President have survived the injury which he sustained to the neck which you have described?
Dr. Perry. Barring the advent of complications this wound was tolerable, and I think he would have survived it.
Mr. Specter. Have you now described all of the treatment which was rendered to the President by the medical team in attendance at Parkland Memorial Hospital.
