Warren Commission (02 of 26): Hearings Vol. II (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Was he ever turned over that you observed while being
treated at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. GREER. No, sir. I can't recollect him ever being turned over.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you have any recollection that he was in fact not
turned over?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I couldn't even say. I didn't see them turn him
over in any way in my vision, although my back was to him quite often
and because I was attending to the door and they could have done it.
Mr. SPECTER. Was he on a stretcher at the time he was being worked on
at Parkland Hospital?
Mr. GREER. I can't remember whether they changed him from a stretcher
to a table. I am not sure on that.
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. Greer, as to the return of the President's automobile
to Washington, do you know how that was accomplished?
Mr. GREER. It was driven to Love Field, and put aboard the same C-130
it was taken out on and flown back to Andrews Air Force Base.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you know when it was returned from Dallas to the
Washington area?
Mr. GREER. I believe it was returned shortly after, it left shortly
after, the President's plane left, was flown back.
Mr. SPECTER. I hand you two photographs marked Commission Exhibit No.
352 and Commission Exhibit No. 353.
Do those photographs represent the condition of the back seat of the
President's car at some time?
Mr. GREER. Yes, sir; they do.
Mr. SPECTER. And at what time do those pictures look just as the back
seat of the President's car looked?
Mr. GREER. It looked like that when it came back from Dallas.
Mr. SPECTER. Did it look like that immediately after President Kennedy
was removed from the back seat?
Mr. GREER. I wasn't there any more, sir. I was with the President after
they lifted him out. I didn't see the car after he had been removed.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe the back seat of the car at any time
from the time you arrived at Parkland Hospital until you observed the
automobile in Washington?
Mr. GREER. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. On November 23?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. SPECTER. By the way, Mr. Greer, how much, approximately, does or
did the President's automobile weigh?
Mr. GREER. It weighed between--well, for flight reason we said 8,000,
but it wasn't that much. It probably was 7,500. We had extra weight on
it.
Mr. SPECTER. Are you able to tell the Commission the dimensions of the
automobile, indicating its length?
Mr. GREER. Yes, sir. It is 21 feet 8 inches long.
Mr. SPECTER. And how wide?
Mr. GREER. I would have to go back for the width on it. I have it all
in black and white in the office, but I haven't got it with me in my
head right now; I am sorry.
Mr. SPECTER. Could three people sit comfortably in the front seat of
the automobile?
Mr. GREER. Yes, sir; it was wide enough for three. We many times had an
aide in there; many times, an aide rode in the front.
Mr. SPECTER. Was it as wide or wider than, say, a Cadillac automobile?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; it would be probably the same width.
