United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Are you able to recollect whether you saw the President
after the shots as you were proceeding toward Parkland Hospital?
Mr. GREER. No; I don't remember ever seeing him any more until I got to
the hospital, and he was lying across the seat, you know, and that is
the first I had seen of him.
Mr. SPECTER. Your best recollection is, then, that you had the
impression he was injured but you couldn't ascertain the source of that
information?
Mr. GREER. Right. I couldn't ascertain the source.
Representative FORD. Did you hear the President say anything after the
first shot?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; I never heard him say anything; never at any time
did I ever hear him say anything.
Representative BOGGS. Did Mrs. Kennedy say anything to you while you
were driving to the hospital?
Mr. GREER. No, sir; she didn't.
Representative BOGGS. Did Mrs. Connally say anything to you?
Mr. GREER. No. Mrs. Connally didn't say anything, either. There is
quite a little distance between the front and the back seat of that
car. As you know, it is 21 feet long, and you are quite a little bit
away, and there was the sirens were all going. The following car had a
siren wide--the big one on the fender was wide open. There wasn't much
chance for me to hear anything, and I was really occupied with getting
there just as fast as I could and not seeing that anything happened,
avoid an accident or anything like that.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you have a siren on your car?
Mr. GREER. I didn't have mine going. There is a siren on that car, but
I didn't even reach down to work it.
Representative BOGGS. There was another agent in the car with you?
Mr. GREER. Mr. Kellerman; yes, sir.
Representative BOGGS. And after the first shot, did he say to speed up
or what?
Mr. GREER. I believe it was at the second that he and I both
simultaneously--he said, "Get out of here fast," and I speeded up as
fast as I could then and as fast as the car would go.
The CHAIRMAN. If there are no further questions, thank you very much,
Mr. Greer.
Mr. GREER. Thank you, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. You may be excused.
Mr. GREER. Thank you, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. We will take a short recess.
(Short recess.)
The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Hill, come right in, sir. Would you raise your right
hand, please, and be sworn? Do you solemnly swear that the testimony
you give before this Commission will be the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. HILL. I do.
The CHAIRMAN. Would you be seated, please, Mr. Hill?
Mr. HILL. Thank you, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Specter.
