Mr. Specter. What color was it?
Dr. Curtis. It had no color—there was just skin overlying it.
Mr. Specter. What did it appear to be?
Dr. Curtis. Probably a hematoma.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe any perforation or hole in the President's throat?
Dr. Curtis. No; I didn't. But that doesn't mean it wasn't there.
Mr. Specter. Did you have an opportunity to look closely for it?
Dr. Curtis. I focused my attention on his neck for an instant, and that's all.
Mr. Specter. Did you hear any discussion among any of the doctors about an opening on his neck?
Dr. Curtis. No; I didn't.
