United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Dr. BASHOUR. As a matter of fact, when he removed his hand, there was
nothing.
Mr. SPECTER. And who is "he"?
Dr. BASHOUR. Dr. Clark, who was doing the cardiac massage.
Mr. SPECTER. What else was done to the President, if anything, in
addition to those things you have already mentioned after you arrived
on the scene?
Dr. BASHOUR. Really, as far as I know, it was the end of the
scene--nothing was done afterward.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you observe any wound besides the head wound which you
have just described?
Dr. BASHOUR. No; I did not observe any wounds.
Mr. SPECTER. What was the condition of the front part of the
President's neck upon your arrival?
Dr. BASHOUR. The only thing--it was covered with the endotracheal
tube--I did not really pay attention to it.
Mr. SPECTER. Did you have an opportunity to see the neck wound before
the tracheotomy was performed?
Dr. BASHOUR. No; I came after everything was done to him.
Mr. SPECTER. Doctor, I show you a group of papers heretofore marked
as "Commission Exhibit No. 392," and I call your attention to the
photostatic copy of a sheet which purports to be a report made by you
on November 22, 1963, at 4:45 p.m., is that your report?
Dr. BASHOUR. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And is that in fact your signature?
Dr. BASHOUR. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And are the facts set forth therein the essence of what
you observed and what you know about this matter?
Dr. BASHOUR. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you talked to anyone from the Federal Government
prior to today about your treatment of President Kennedy?
Dr. BASHOUR. There was a security officer or something called me on the
phone one day and said did I write any note besides this note on the
chart, and I said "No." I don't know his name even.
Mr. SPECTER. What note was he referring to?
Dr. BASHOUR. This note here.
Mr. SPECTER. He asked you if you wrote what?
Dr. BASHOUR. Other notes than this.
Mr. SPECTER. If you had any other notes?
Dr. BASHOUR. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And do you have any other notes other than the one I have
just shown you?
Dr. BASHOUR. No.
Mr. SPECTER. Did the Secret Service agent ask you anything else other
than that?
Dr. BASHOUR. No.
Mr. SPECTER. And did you talk to any other representative of the
Federal Government on any occasion prior to today?
Dr. BASHOUR. No, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. And, did you and I talk for a few minutes about the type
of questions I would be asking you during this deposition?
Dr. BASHOUR. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And is the information which you have given me on the
record here and written down by the court reporter the same as you told
me before she arrived?
Dr. BASHOUR. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And, will you give me just an outline of your educational
background, Doctor?
