Mr. Specter. Did Governor Connally tell you whether or not he heard President Kennedy say anything?
Dr. Shaw. He said that all he heard was the President say, "Oh," that's the only thing he told me.
Mr. Specter. Did Mrs. Connally state whether or not she heard the President say anything?
Dr. Shaw. My memory isn't good for that. I don't remember what Mrs. Connally told me on that.
Mr. Specter. Are you continuing to treat Governor Connally at the present time?
Dr. Shaw. Yes, although the treatment of the chest is practically at an end, because the chest has reached a satisfactory state of healing.
Mr. Specter. Did you continue to treat the Governor all during his stay at Parkland Hospital?
Dr. Shaw. Yes, I attended him several times daily.
Mr. Specter. Dr. Shaw, would you think it consistent with the facts that you know as to Governor Connally's wounds that he could have been struck by the same bullet which passed through President Kennedy, assuming that a missile with the muzzle velocity of 2,000 feet per second, a 6.5-millimeter bullet, passed through President Kennedy at a distance of 160 to 250 feet from the rifle, passing through President Kennedy's body, entering on his back and striking only soft tissue and exiting on his neck; could that missile have also gone through Governor Connally's chest in your opinion?
Dr. Shaw. Yes, taking your description of the first wound sustained by the President, which I, myself, did not observe, and considering the position of the two men in the limousine, I think it would be perfectly possible for the first bullet to have passed through the soft tissues of the neck of President Kennedy and produced the wounds that we found on Governor Connally.
