Dr. Peters. Well, cut downs were done on the extremities, and tubes were inserted in the veins, and I know on the right ankle anteriorly, and I believe in the left arm and also in the left leg, in order to administer fluid and blood which he did receive.
Mr. Specter. Have you now described all of the medical attention given the President?
Dr. Peters. Well, I believe I have.
Mr. Specter. And was the President subsequently pronounced dead?
Dr. Peters. That's correct.
Mr. Specter. And about what time was that pronouncement made?
Dr. Peters. I could not give you the time within 5 or 10 minutes—I can tell you this much, though, I know what actually did happen.
Mr. Specter. Tell me that.
Dr. Peters. I was—we pronounced him dead and I was in the room, present while the priest gave him the last rites, during which time there was Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Baxter and Dr. McClelland, Mrs. Kennedy, the priest, and myself. Dr. Perry had left, as had most of the others by that time.
Mr. Specter. Why did you remain?
