Mr. Specter. Now, was there anything in President Kennedy's condition which called for the application of your specific specialty?
Dr. Curtis. No; there wasn't.
Mr. Specter. So, you aided in a general way in the treatment of him as an emergency case?
Dr. Curtis. Yes.
Mr. Specter. Now, would you continue to tell me what you have observed with respect to his condition when you first saw him, including what you noted, if anything, with respect to his respiration.
Dr. Curtis. It is very difficult to say whether or not the President was making a respiratory effort, but I'm not sure that he wasn't making a respiratory effort.
Mr. Specter. Do you think that he was making a respiratory effort?
Dr. Curtis. He could have been, and that's as far as I can go on it.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe movements of the chest?
Dr. Curtis. I thought I did.
