Representative Ford. How long did it take you to go from where you were when the page came to get down to trauma room No. 1?
Dr. Perry. A matter of no more than a minute or so, Congressman Ford. It is down one flight of stairs and the door is almost immediately adjacent to the dining room where we would go and we did not wait on the elevator. We went down the stairs.
Representative Ford. How long after the President was brought in before you went to trauma room No. 1?
Dr. Perry. That I don't know either. My last recollection in regard to time was approximately 12:30 when I was having lunch prior to rounds, and Dr. Jones picked up the page and as we went downstairs I took off my watch and dropped it in my coat pocket, rather expecting to do some kind of procedure, and I took off my coat and I never looked at the clock until afterwards.
Mr. McCloy. One more question, I want to get clear.
The extent to which you examined Governor Connally's wounds, as I gather, you were asked to stand by.
Dr. Perry. That is right, sir.
Mr. McCloy. Rather than to be involved in a close examination of the wounds.
Dr. Perry. That is right, sir.
Mr. McCloy. So you are not generally familiar?
