Dr. Shaw. No.
Mr. Dulles. Did you see him?
Dr. Shaw. I only saw his shoes and his feet. He was in the room immediately opposite. As I came into the hallway, I could recognize that the President was on it, in the room to my right. I knew that my problem was concerned with Governor Connally, and I turned and went into the room where I saw that he was.
Mr. Dulles. Did you hear at that time or have any knowledge, of a bullet which had been found on the stretcher?
Dr. Shaw. No; this was later knowledge.
Mr. Dulles. When did you first hear that?
(At this point Senator Russell entered the hearing room.)
Dr. Shaw. This information was first given to me by a man from the Secret Service who interviewed me in my office several weeks later. It is the first time I knew about any bullet being recovered.
Senator Cooper. I think, of course, it is evident from your testimony you have had wide experience in chest wounds and bullet wounds in the chest.
What experience have you had in, say, the field of ballistics? Would this experience—you have been dealing in chest wounds caused by bullets—have provided you knowledge also about the characteristics of missiles, particularly bullets of this type?
