Mr. SPECTER. Is there more than one elevator for the stretcher to go through from the emergency room up to the second floor operating rooms? Dr. HUNT. Yes; they can--they come up to these. Mr. SPECTER. What route would they have to take to do this? Dr. HUNT. They would have to come directly out of the emergency room and down this main hallway to this front bank of elevators. Mr. SPECTER. That would be a pretty long route, would it not? Dr. HUNT. Actually, it isn't very long. I don't know in yards or paces even, but there are three elevators there. Mr. SPECTER. What route did Governor Connally use? Dr. HUNT. I think they took him by the back elevator, the one that comes down into the emergency room. Mr. SPECTER. Is that the one they customarily use to take people from the emergency area into the operating room? Dr. HUNT. Yes; if there is an emergency it goes straight up--they usually use that one. Mr. SPECTER. You say you went back to President Kennedy's room? Dr. HUNT. Yes. Mr. SPECTER. And what did you observe there at that time? Dr. HUNT. At that time I did notice, and possibly this was there earlier, I noticed that they had gotten more monitoring equipment in and connected the electronic equipment for monitoring the electrocardiogram. Mr. SPECTER. At what time did you return to President Kennedy's room? Dr. HUNT. I don't know--it would probably have been maybe 3 or 4 or 5 minutes from the time I stepped out, because I went across the hall--I didn't know the Governor was there, and someone told me and I went in and just took a brief look at him to sort of size up his condition, and stepped out and sent for my equipment and went back in and stayed until they brought my equipment. It would have been a little longer than 4 or 5 minutes because they had to bring the equipment down the elevator and it had arrived and been there a few minutes--3 or 4 minutes before we were ready to take him upstairs. Mr. SPECTER. And what was going on in the President's room when you returned there? Dr. HUNT. Well, there were still a goodly number of people, oh, at least 10 people, possibly there were more--I'm not real sure, but there were still--at that time there were, I know, at least three anesthesiologists in there--Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Akin, and Dr. Giesecke, and I believe Dr. Baxter was in there, and Dr. Perry was still there. Mr. SPECTER. Were they still working on the President at that time? Dr. HUNT. Yes, sir; I don't know what they were doing. Mr. SPECTER. How long did you stay on that occasion? Dr. HUNT. Just, oh, a minute--just long enough to catch Dr. Giesecke's eye and let him know I was there and going out. Mr. SPECTER. And did you ever return to the President's room? Dr. HUNT. No; I don't believe I did--no; I'm sure I didn't, because I came on upstairs with Governor Connally. Mr. SPECTER. And did you participate then with Governor Connally's operation? Dr. HUNT. I helped Dr. Giesecke during the induction of anesthesia.
