Miss STANDRIDGE. No, not--I think his feet were at the end--I could
just see feet--I believe the feet were there at that door, you know.
Mr. SPECTER. And, you saw the same doctors around the stretcher who
were pushing him when you last saw him?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Are you sure that was Governor Connally?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No, that's what I said--I just saw his feet, which I
assumed it was--it was the same doctors.
Mr. SPECTER. About how long elapsed from the time you stopped pushing
the stretcher until the time you got there to look and see just his
feet?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Just a second, I mean, just a few seconds.
Mr. SPECTER. You went back and got his clothes?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. What did you do with those clothes?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I asked the administrator who should I give them to,
and they told me to give them to Governor Connally's party and they
were in the minor medicine section and I went out there and there were
two gentlemen out there and I asked them who I wanted to see--I wanted
to see somebody in Governor Connally's party, and they opened the door
and they asked for somebody, and he said he was--he identified himself
as Cliff Carter.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you give him the clothing?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you know what he did with it?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you heard what he did with it?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I've heard that it got lost and they found it in
Representative Gonzales' office in a closet.
Mr. SPECTER. And is he a Texas Representative?
Miss STANDRIDGE. I believe so.
Mr. SPECTER. In his office closet where?
Miss STANDRIDGE. In Washington, D.C.
Mr. SPECTER. Are you limited in anyway from entering into the operating
room area?
Miss STANDRIDGE. We are limited, but there is a place where the spots
are painted on the floor that is is legal for us to go through into the
hallway into the nurses' station.
Mr. SPECTER. You can go around in part of the operating room area?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Isn't into the premises--it's just in the hallway into
the nurses' station.
Mr. SPECTER. And what is the reason for limiting you from going beyond
that into the operating room area?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Well, we are not considered--we would be contaminating.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, is there some problem about flammable gases up there?
Miss STANDRIDGE. Anesthesia equipment, that's right, and these spots
are painted there, and if you don't have the proper shoes on, they will
be a conductor, you know, and these spots are there for that area.
Mr. SPECTER. Was Governor Connally removed from the stretcher at
anytime while he was in the emergency room?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No; he wasn't. He never went to X-ray or he wasn't
taken off at all.
Mr. SPECTER. Does the elevator that the stretcher was pushed into go
only to the operating room?
Miss STANDRIDGE. No; it stops on first floor and also goes up to
delivery--up to the delivery room on third floor.
