TESTIMONY OF MRS. JOHN BOWDEN CONNALLY, JR.
The Chairman. Mrs. Connally, would you mind telling us the story of this affair as you heard it, and we will be brief, and we will start right with the shooting itself, and Mr. Specter will also examine you.
Would you raise your right hand and be sworn, please? Do you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give before this Commission will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mrs. Connally. I do.
The Chairman. Will you sit, please?
Mr. Specter. Are you the wife of Governor John C. Connally?
Mrs. Connally. No, I am the wife of Governor John B. Connally.
Mr. Specter. Mrs. Connally, tell us what happened at the time of the assassination.
Mrs. Connally. We had just finished the motorcade through the downtown Dallas area, and it had been a wonderful motorcade. The people had been very responsive to the President and Mrs. Kennedy, and we were very pleased, I was very pleased.
As we got off Main Street—is that the main thoroughfare?
