Dr. Perry. He did.
Mr. Specter. What was your response?
Dr. Perry. This was denied.
Mr. Specter. And did he ask you questions?
Dr. Perry. He did, essentially the same questions which I have reiterated as to the emergency treatment that was undertaken. He did not press the point as to the number of bullets or anything of that, and I told him I had no knowledge of that. He only asked about the emergency measures I had taken and I related them to him as I have to you.
Mr. Specter. Subsequently, did an article appear about you in the Saturday Evening Post?
Dr. Perry. It did.
Mr. Specter. Would you outline briefly the circumstances surrounding the appearance of that article as you felt them to be?
Dr. Perry. We were contacted, not I directly but Dr. Shires, by the medical editor of the Saturday Evening Post, this was all related to me by Dr. Shires, in regard to a possible story. This was declined, since Dr. Shires and those of us in the department felt that the news value was gone and this was commercialism, and they told Dr. Shires, I am told, that they would not print anything.
However, an article appearing under a New York Herald Tribune uncopyrighted by-line apparently was subsequently acquired by them and published.
