Mr. Specter. On the cranium itself, did you observe another bullet hole below the portion of missing skull?
Dr. Giesecke. No, sir; this was found later by Dr. Clark—I didn't see this.
Mr. Specter. What makes you say that that hole was found later by Dr. Clark?
Dr. Giesecke. Well, this is hearsay—I wasn't there when they found it and I didn't notice it.
Mr. Specter. Well, Dr. Clark didn't observe that hole.
Dr. Giesecke. Oh, he didn't—I'm sorry.
Mr. Specter. From whom did you hear that the hole had been observed, if you recollect?
Dr. Giesecke. Oh—I must be confused. We talked to so many people about these things—I don't remember.
Mr. Specter. Now, with respect to the condition of the President's neck, what was its status at the time you first observed it?
Dr. Giesecke. Well, like I say, they were performing the tracheotomy, and I personally saw no wound in the neck other than the tracheotomy wound. As soon as the tracheotomy was completed, we removed the endotracheal tube and hooked the anesthesia machine to the tracheotomy tube and efforts were made then to put in a chest tube, an anterior chest tube.
