Mr. SPECTER. Have you talked to any representative of the Federal
Government prior to today?
Dr. HUNT. No; I haven't.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you make any written report of your participation in
the care of Governor Connally and President Kennedy?
Dr. HUNT. Not directly. Dr. Giesecke called me one day and said that, I
think it was the A.M.A. was here and just wanted to verify my movements
for the day, which I told him and he in turn told them that--I did not
appear before them.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you make any written reports yourself?
Dr. HUNT. No.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you have any notes of any sort concerning your
participation?
Dr. HUNT. None whatsoever.
Mr. SPECTER. Prior to the time the court reporter started to take down
the transcript of my questions and your answers, did you and I have a
brief discussion about the purpose of this deposition?
Dr. HUNT. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And the questions I would ask you?
Dr. HUNT. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And is the information which you have provided on the
record the same as you told me before the written deposition started?
Dr. HUNT. Elaborated somewhat.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you have anything to add which you think might be of
aid to the Commission in its investigation?
Dr. HUNT. No, sir; I don't.
Mr. SPECTER. Thank you very much for appearing, Dr. Hunt.
Dr. HUNT. Thank you.

March 25, 1964, at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, Tex., by Mr.

Mr. SPECTER. May the record show that Dr. Kenneth Salyer is present

With that preliminary statement of purpose, Dr. Salyer, will you stand
up and raise your right hand?

President's Commission in the course of this deposition will be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Dr. SALYER. I do.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you had an opportunity to examine the document or the
Executive order creating the President's Commission and Rules for the
taking of testimony?
Dr. SALYER. Yes; I have.
Mr. SPECTER. And are you willing to have your deposition taken today
without having the formal three days of written notice, which you have
a right to, if you wish?
Dr. SALYER. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. You are willing to waive that right, is that right?
Dr. SALYER. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Would you state your full name for the record, please?
