Governor Connally. No; those are the only two remarks that I heard him make.
Mr. Specter. Was any statement made by Special Agent William Greer at or about the time of the shooting?
Governor Connally. No; I did not hear Bill say anything.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe any reaction by President Kennedy after the shooting?
Governor Connally. No; I did not see him.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe any reaction by Mrs. Kennedy after the shooting?
Governor Connally. I did not see her. This almost sounds incredible, I am sure, since we were in the car with them. But again I will repeat very briefly when what I believe to be the shot first occurred, I turned to my right, which was away from both of them, of course, and looked out and could see neither, and then as I was turning to look into the back seat where I would have seen both of them, I was hit, so I never completed the turn at all, and I never saw either one of them after the firing started, and, of course, as I have testified, then Mrs. Connally pulled me over into her lap and I was facing forward with my head slightly turned up to where I could see the driver and Roy Kellerman on his right, but I could not see into the back seat, so I didn't see either one of them.
Mr. Specter. When you turned to your right, Governor Connally, immediately after you heard the first shot, what did you see on that occasion?
Governor Connally. Nothing of any significance except just people out on the grass slope. I didn't see anything that was out of the ordinary, just saw men, women, and children.
Mr. Specter. Do you have any estimate as to the distance which the President's automobile traveled during the shooting?
