Mr. Specter. Did you have occasion to aid in the medical treatment of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963?

Dr. Jones. Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter. Would you relate briefly the circumstances surrounding your being called into the case?

Dr. Jones. I was eating lunch with Dr. Perry and I heard the operator page Dr. Tom Shires of the staff on two occasions, and the second time I answered the phone and the operator told me that the President had been shot and was being brought to the emergency room.

I turned around and immediately notified Miss Audrey Bell, who is the operating room supervisor so that any arrangements could be made for immediate surgery, and Dr. M. T. Jenkins, who is the Chief of the Anesthesiology Department. From there I went across the room and notified Dr. Perry of the shooting and we both went together to the emergency room, and it was at that time we arrived shortly after the President had been brought in.

Mr. Specter. What is your best estimate as to the time you arrived at the emergency room?

Dr. Jones. It was, I would say, around 23 or 25 minutes until 1.

Mr. Specter. And who was present, if anyone, at the time you arrived?

Dr. Jones. Dr. James Carrico, and possibly Dr. Richard Dulany, and I'm not sure that he was there or was there for just a few minutes after we arrived. I do recall seeing him there as one of the first ones.

Mr. Specter. Was any nurse present at that time?
