Dr. Shires. Progressive debridement from skin, fat, fascia, muscle, irrigation, and through and through enclosure with stainless steel alloy wire and removable sutures.
Mr. Specter. Does that complete a general description of what you did to Governor Connally?
Dr. Shires. In the operating room, yes.
Mr. Specter. Approximately what time did that operation start?
Dr. Shires. Approximately 1 o'clock.
Mr. Specter. The operation that you were concerned with?
Dr. Shires. Oh, the operation that I was concerned with must have started at 3:30 or 4 o'clock, I guess it was.
Mr. Specter. And about what time did it end?
Dr. Shires. My portion of it—about 20 minutes later.
Mr. Specter. And who, if anyone, assisted you in that portion of the operation?
