Me. Specter. Did Dr. Perry discuss anything with you prior to that second conference about a telephone call from Washington, D.C.?
Dr. Clark. Yes; he did.
Mr. Specter. Would you relate briefly what Dr. Perry told you about that subject?
Dr. Clark. Yes; Dr. Perry stated that he had talked to the Bethesda Naval Hospital on two occasions that morning and that he knew what the autopsy findings had shown and that he did not wish to be questioned by the press, as he had been asked by Bethesda to confine his remarks to that which he knew from having examined the President, and suggested that the major part of this press conference be conducted by me.
Mr. Specter. Was anyone else present when he expressed those thoughts to you?
Dr. Clark. I believe that Mr. Price and Dr. Shires were present. I could be wrong on that.
Mr. Specter. Now, were you a part of a third press conference?
Dr. Clark. Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter. And when did that occur?
Dr. Clark. During the following week—I have forgotten exactly the day.
