Mr. Specter. In the trauma room No. 1 you described, is there any table onto which he could be placed from the stretcher?
Dr. McClelland. No; generally we do not move patients from the stretcher until they are ready to go into the operating room and then they are moved onto the operating table.
Mr. Specter. Well, in fact, was he left on the stretcher all during the course of these procedures until he was pronounced dead?
Dr. McClelland. That's right.
Mr. Specter. Then, at any time was he positioned in a way where you could have seen the back of his body?
Dr. McClelland. No.
Mr. Specter. Did you observe any gunshot wound on his back?
Dr. McClelland. No.
Mr. Specter. Have you had discussions with the other doctors who attended President Kennedy as to the possible nature of the wound which was inflicted on him?
Dr. McClelland. Yes.
