Mr. SPECTER. Is there any table, or was there any table in the emergency room to which President Kennedy was taken that he could be placed on from the stretcher? Mrs. NELSON. No. Mr. SPECTER. Is it the normal situation to have no table present in the emergency room? Mrs. NELSON. The only one there is in case an ambulance should bring a patient in, but if a patient comes in the emergency room on a stretcher, then the stretcher that is in there is removed. Then the patient remains on the same stretcher that he comes into the emergency room on. Mr. SPECTER. And was there a stretcher in the emergency room at the time President Kennedy was taken in on a second stretcher? Mrs. NELSON. It was taken out when they wheeled it in. Mr. SPECTER. Were there any sheets on the stretcher that President Kennedy was on? Mrs. NELSON. Yes. Mr. SPECTER. After President Kennedy was taken off of the stretcher, did you have occasion to observe that stretcher? Mrs. NELSON. Yes; the stretcher was stripped by the nursing personnel working in the room and the stretcher was moved across from trauma room 1 to trauma room 2 in order to get the stretcher out of the room. Mr. SPECTER. What personnel stripped the stretcher? Mrs. NELSON. Margaret Henchliffe, H-e-n-c-h-l-i-f-f-e [spelling], and Diana Bowron, D-i-a-n-a B-o-w-r-o-n [spelling]. Mr. SPECTER. Did you actually observe Diana Bowron or Margaret Henchliffe strip the stretcher? Mrs. NELSON. No; I did not. This was the report that I received afterwards. Mr. SPECTER. From whom did you receive that report? Mrs. NELSON. From these two nurses. Mr. SPECTER. Did you see the stretcher after it was stripped in the emergency room to which President Kennedy was taken? Mrs. NELSON. No, I saw it after it was wheeled from trauma room 1 to trauma room 2, because I was standing there at the doorway between the two rooms with the Secret Service Police. Mr. SPECTER. But it was actually in trauma room 1? Mrs. NELSON. Yes. Mr. SPECTER. As it was being wheeled out to trauma room 2 and at the time it was being wheeled out, was there any sheet on it at all---- Mrs. NELSON. No. Mr. SPECTER. Rolled up on it in any way at all? Mrs. NELSON. No. Mr. SPECTER. Did you see where the stretcher was then placed? Mrs. NELSON. Yes, it was put into trauma room 2. Mr. SPECTER. Where was President Kennedy's body at that time? Mrs. NELSON. It was in--it had been placed in a casket in trauma room 1. Mr. SPECTER. And was the casket on any sort of an object or was it on the floor or what? Mrs. NELSON. It was on a form of roller-type table. Mr. SPECTER. And did--do you know what President Kennedy's body was in, if anything, at that time?
