Mr. SPECTER. And would that account take into consideration the extensive damage done to the top of the President's head? Dr. JONES. If this were the course of the missile, it probably--possibly could have accounted for it, although I would possibly expect it to do a tremendous amount of damage to the vertebral column that it hit and if this were a high velocity missile would also think that the entrance wound would probably be larger than the one that was present at the time we saw it. Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe whether or not there was any damage to the vertebral column? Dr. JONES. No, we could not see this. Mr. SPECTER. Did you discuss this theory with any other doctor or doctors? Dr. JONES. Yes; this was discussed after the assassination. Mr. SPECTER. With whom? Dr. JONES. With Dr. Perry--is the only one that I recall specifically, and that was merely as to how many times the President was shot, because even immediately after death, within a matter of 30 minutes, the possibility of a second gunshot wound was entertained and that possibly he had been shot more than once. Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe any wound on the President's back? Dr. JONES. No. Mr. SPECTER. Was the President ever turned over? Dr. JONES. Not while I was in the room. Mr. SPECTER. What was he on when you first saw him? Dr. JONES. He was on an emergency room cart, which is on wheels and can be changed to varying heights and also varying positions, as far as elevating the head or elevating the feet, lowering the head and so forth. Mr. SPECTER. Was he ever taken off that cart from the time he was brought into the emergency room to the time he was pronounced to be dead? Dr. JONES. No. Mr. SPECTER. Doctor, are you working toward board certification at this time? Dr. JONES. Yes. Mr. SPECTER. And what is your status on your progress with that, generally? Dr. JONES. I will finish my formal training in surgery in July of this year, which will complete 5 years of general surgery residency. Mr. SPECTER. How old are you at the present time, Dr. Jones? Dr. JONES. Thirty-one. Mr. SPECTER. Have you discussed this matter with any representatives of the Federal Government prior to today? Dr. JONES. Yes, I believe the Secret Service has been here on at least two occasions. Mr. SPECTER. And what did they ask you on those occasions? Dr. JONES. I think, primarily, to verify that what I had written was true and that I had been one of the first doctors to be in the room with the President. Mr. SPECTER. Did they ask you anything else other than that? Dr. JONES. On one occasion they asked if there were any other pieces of paper that had been written on as to the care that had been administered to the President that I had not turned in, and I told them "No."
