United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Do you have anything to add which you think might be of
assistance to the President's Commission in their inquiry?
Dr. AKIN. No; I don't think so. I don't know exactly if there is any
disagreement or discrepancy in the testimony from the various people
who have testified, so I don't know. This is all I saw.
Mr. SPECTER. That's fine. Thank you very much, Dr. Akin.
Dr. AKIN. That's all right, thank you.

The testimony of Dr. Paul Conrad Peters was taken at 4 p.m., on March

Specter, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. SPECTER. May the record show that Dr. Paul Peters is present,
having responded to a request to have his deposition taken in
connection with the investigation of the President's Commission on the
Assassination of President Kennedy, which is investigating all aspects
of the assassination, including the medical treatment of President
Kennedy at Parkland Memorial Hospital, and for the latter sequence of
events we have asked Dr. Peters to appear and testify what he knows, if
anything, concerning that medical attention.
With that statement of purpose in calling you, Dr. Peters, may I ask
you to rise and raise your right hand?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you give before the
President's Commission in this deposition proceeding will be the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
