Representative Ford. May I ask, Mr. Specter, during the total time that you were examining and treating the President, how much of his exposed body did you see?
Dr. Perry. The upper trunk predominantly, Congressman Ford. His chest, and, of course, his arms were bare, neck and head. I did not examine any other portions of his body nor did I see any other portions except briefly when I felt for the femoral pulse on the left side.
Representative Ford. From the waist on up the front?
Dr. Perry. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. Would you describe the treatment rendered to Mr. Oswald at Parkland Memorial Hospital by yourself and by others as you observed it?
Dr. Perry. At the time I saw—starting with when I was called?
Dr. Perry. Well, I went immediately to the emergency room again, Dr. Jones and I who also was in the hospital again, and told me that I was the only attending surgeon present, and that they were bringing Mr. Oswald out, and I was in the surgery suite and I went directly to the emergency room just as he was being brought indoors.
Mr. Specter. At approximately what time was that?
Dr. Perry. I really don't know, sir. It was about 11:15 or so when I was up in surgery. I had been seeing a baby in regard to an operation we had scheduled at 1 o'clock and then Dr. Jones came after me.
