Mr. SPECTER. And what happened to the stretcher after it left the elevator on the second floor of the operating room area? Miss WESTER. The doctors brought this and were proceeding down the hall, and I met them in the center of the operating room suite itself. Mr. SPECTER. About how far is that from the elevator door? Miss WESTER. Approximately 50 feet. Mr. SPECTER. What was done then with Governor Connally on the stretcher, following the point where you met them? Miss WESTER. We proceeded to room 5 and outside of room 5 we transferred Governor Connally from the stretcher onto an operating table and removed his clothes from the bottom of the stretcher and placed them in the hallway by the operating table. Mr. SPECTER. In what way was Governor Connally dressed or robed when you first saw him on the stretcher? Miss WESTER. As far as I know, the only thing he had was a sheet on him. He had no hospital gown or anything else that I know of on. Mr. SPECTER. Had his clothes then been removed by that time? Miss WESTER. Yes; he arrived without his clothes. They were on the bottom of the cart in a paper sack. Mr. SPECTER. And you said he was transferred from the stretcher onto an operating table? Miss WESTER. Yes. Mr. SPECTER. Now, was that inside the operating room? Or outside the operating room? Miss WESTER. No; it's in the hallway right outside room 5--we transferred him onto the operating table, and then moved the table into the operating room. Mr. SPECTER. And did he have any clothing on at the time you transferred him from the stretcher onto the operating table? Miss WESTER. I don't recall any clothes that he had on. Mr. SPECTER. What was then done with Governor Connally on the operating table? Miss WESTER. The operating table was moved into the operating room and at that time they proceeded to start anesthetics on him and put him to sleep. Mr. SPECTER. What doctors were in attendance of Governor Connally at that time. Miss WESTER. Dr.--there were many--Dr. Giesecke, G-i-e-s-e-c-k-e (spelling)--there were so many. Dr. Ray, I believe, was there, and there were many others--right offhand, I can't remember. Mr. SPECTER. Did you go into the operating room at that time? Miss WESTER. I went as far as the doorway with him. Mr. SPECTER. Now, what was done with the stretcher on which he came to that point? Miss WESTER. I took the stretcher and rolled it to the center area of the operating room suite--rolled the sheets up on the stretcher into a small bundle. Mr. SPECTER. Was there one sheet or more than one sheet? Miss WESTER. I believe there were two sheets and I rolled one inside the other up into a small bundle. Mr. SPECTER. What is the next normal procedure with respect to the number of sheets on such a stretcher in like circumstances?
