Mr. Specter. Is that the one they customarily use to take people from the emergency area into the operating room?

Dr. Hunt. Yes; if there is an emergency it goes straight up—they usually use that one.

Mr. Specter. You say you went back to President Kennedy's room?

Dr. Hunt. Yes.

Mr. Specter. And what did you observe there at that time?

Dr. Hunt. At that time I did notice, and possibly this was there earlier, I noticed that they had gotten more monitoring equipment in and connected the electronic equipment for monitoring the electrocardiogram.

Mr. Specter. At what time did you return to President Kennedy's room?

Dr. Hunt. I don't know—it would probably have been maybe 3 or 4 or 5 minutes from the time I stepped out, because I went across the hall—I didn't know the Governor was there, and someone told me and I went in and just took a brief look at him to sort of size up his condition, and stepped out and sent for my equipment and went back in and stayed until they brought my equipment. It would have been a little longer than 4 or 5 minutes because they had to bring the equipment down the elevator and it had arrived and been there a few minutes—3 or 4 minutes before we were ready to take him upstairs.

Mr. Specter. And what was going on in the President's room when you returned there?

Dr. Hunt. Well, there were still a goodly number of people, oh, at least 10 people, possibly there were more—I'm not real sure, but there were still—at that time there were, I know, at least three anesthesiologists in there—Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Akin, and Dr. Giesecke, and I believe Dr. Baxter was in there, and Dr. Perry was still there.
