Dr. Perry. Yes, sir; I have
Mr. Specter. And by whom, if anyone, were the press conferences arranged?
Dr. Perry. The initial press conference, to the best of my knowledge, was arranged by Mr. Hawkes who was identified to me as being of the White House Press, and Mr. Steve Landregan of the hospital administration there at Parkland, and Dr. Kemp Clark.
They called me, I was in the operating suite at the time to assist with the care of the Governor, and they called and asked me if it would be possible for me to come down to a press conference.
Mr. Specter. At about what time did that call come to you, Doctor?
Dr. Perry. I am not real sure about that but probably around 2 o'clock.
Mr. Specter. What action, if any, did you take in response to that call?
Dr. Perry. I put in a page for Dr. Baxter and Dr. McClelland since they were also involved, and went down to the emergency room where I met Mr. Hawkes and Dr. Clark. And from there we went up to classrooms one and two which had been combined into a large press room, and was packed with gentlemen and ladies of the press.
Mr. Specter. In what building was that located?
Dr. Perry. This was in Parkland Hospital, in the classroom section.
