United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I never passed it. I came up alongside one or two
motorcycle men and I called to them "get to a hospital fast". You know,
I called to them "hospital".
Mr. SPECTER. Were you led to the hospital?
Mr. GREER. Yes, sir; I was led to the hospital by the police car who
was preceding me.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you have any independent knowledge of the route from
where you were?
Mr. GREER. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. From the point of assassination to the hospital?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. SPECTER. Were you escorted by any other automobiles besides the
police car in front of you?
Mr. GREER. We had motorcycles and I don't know if there were other
police cars out in front of that or not. I am sure there may have been,
but I couldn't say right now.
Mr. SPECTER. Was there any radio communication between your automobile
and the hospital at any time prior to your arrival at the hospital?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; not between the hospital and our car.
Mr. SPECTER. Did Mr. Kellerman have any radio contact at all with
anyone in addition to that which you have already described?
Mr. GREER. He may have had some more communications to the car, the
lead car, but I can't remember what they were now.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe any bullets strike any portion of the car
or ricochet in any way during the course of the shooting?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe any bullets or fragments of bullets at
rest in the car after the shooting terminated?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I didn't. I left the car at the hospital and I
didn't see it any more until the next day.
Mr. SPECTER. I hand you Commission Exhibit No. 349, Mr. Greer, and ask
if you are able to identify what that picture represents?
Mr. GREER. That represents the windshield of the car.
Mr. SPECTER. Of the President's car?
Mr. GREER. Yes, sir; it looks like the windshield of the President's
car.
Mr. SPECTER. Now calling your attention to a small arrow----
Mr. GREER. Arrow.
Mr. SPECTER. Which points up on what appears to be an indentation, I
ask you if you--when was the first time, if at all, that you observed
that indentation?
Mr. GREER. I didn't observe that----
Mr. SPECTER. On the car?
Mr. GREER. Until after I got back to Washington, until the car came
back to Washington. I saw it at the White House garage. It was the
first time I had ever noticed that.
Mr. SPECTER. On what date did you observe that indentation on the car?
Mr. GREER. That was the day after, the 23, would be it. It would be the
day after the shooting. We got back from Dallas.
Mr. SPECTER. And what time of the day did you observe the car at the
White House garage on that date?
Mr. GREER. It was in the afternoon, I believe. I believe it was in the
afternoon, I believe.
Mr. SPECTER. Did anyone call that indentation to your attention at that
time?
Mr. GREER. Yes; I was asked if I knew about it.
Mr. SPECTER. Who was it who asked you?
