Mr. SPECTER. Are you duly licensed to practice medicine by the State of Texas? Dr. SALYER. Yes; I am. Mr. SPECTER. And would you outline briefly your educational background, please? Dr. SALYER. A B.S. degree at the University of Kansas, an M.D. degree at the University of Kansas, and internship at Parkland, and now a first year resident in surgery at Parkland Hospital. Mr. SPECTER. In what year did you graduate from the University of Kansas Medical School? Dr. SALYER. 1962. Mr. SPECTER. And how old are you, Dr. Salyer? Dr. SALYER. I am 27. Mr. SPECTER. Will you relate briefly the circumstances surrounding your being called in to assist in the treatment of President Kennedy? Dr. SALYER. Well, for the month of November, as part of our rotation on surgery, I spent that month on neurosurgery, and being on call that day for any emergencies which come in to our emergency room related to neurosurgical problems, we would be called down to the emergency room to see these, and I was upstairs viewing a movie when I heard that the President had arrived and so I thought I should go down to the emergency room and see what the situation was. Mr. SPECTER. And, upon your arrival at the emergency room, who was present? Dr. SALYER. Oh, I don't recall--I know that there were a room full of doctors--I could list specific ones that I remember if you would like. Mr. SPECTER. Would you please? Dr. SALYER. I don't really think I could give you every one, but I remember Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Perry and Dr. Baxter, and also Dr. Bob McClelland and Dr. Carrico and Dr. Crenshaw, and I think a Dr. Gene Akin was there also--at that time, when I first came in. Mr. SPECTER. Can you think of any others? Dr. SALYER. No; I don't recall any others--there could have been some, there were a lot of people sort of moving in and out. There certainly were a lot of nurses in there at that time. Mr. SPECTER. Can you identify any of the nurses who were there? Dr. SALYER. No; I can't. Mr. SPECTER. What was the President's condition at the time you arrived? Dr. SALYER. It was critical. Mr. SPECTER. What did you observe about him with respect to any wounds he may have sustained? Dr. SALYER. Well, I observed that he did have some sucking wound of some type on his neck, and that he also had a wound of his right temporal region--these were the two main wounds. Mr. SPECTER. Did you have an opportunity to observe his throat? Dr. SALYER. No; I really did not. I think there were a lot of people--a lot of doctors more closely around him. I might mention also, I think just right after I came in the room Dr. Clark and Dr. Grossman also arrived. Mr. SPECTER. Doctor who? Dr. SALYER. Dr. Grossman, just briefly. He's a neurosurgeon also. Mr. SPECTER. What is his name? Dr. SALYER. Dr. Grossman--Bob Grossman. He was just there, I think, briefly. Mr. SPECTER. How long was he there?
