Doctor Perry. S-h-i-r-e-s.
Representative Boggs. Before you get to Oswald may I ask one question? I am sure the doctor covered it. You said the minute you saw the President you felt he had suffered a mortal wound?
Dr. Perry. Yes, sir.
Representative Boggs. You saw the wound immediately then?
Dr. Perry. Well, I saw his condition immediately, and as you are aware, I have attended a lot of people with severe injuries.
Representative Boggs. Surely.
Dr. Perry. And he obviously was in extremis when I walked in the room. And then I noted very cursorily the wound in the head and it was obvious that this was an extremely serious wound.
Representative Boggs. Was he still alive when you saw him?
Dr. Perry. He was.
Representative Boggs. That is all.
