that your best recollection was that it was stretcher A which came off of the elevator?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Yes, I believe that was it--yes.

Mr. Specter.

Have you been interviewed about this matter by any other Federal representative?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Yes.

Mr. Specter.

. Who interviewed you about it?

Mr. TOMLINSON. I don't remember the name of either one of them, but one was the FBI man and one was the Secret Service man.

Mr. Specter.

How many times did the FBI interview you?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Once.

Mr. Specter.

How many times did the Secret Service interview you?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Once.

Mr. Specter.

When did the FBI interview you?

Mr. Tomlinson.

I believe they were the first to do it.

Mr. Specter.

Approximately when was that?

Mr. Tomlinson.

I think that was the latter part of November.

Mr. Specter.

And when did the Secret Service interview you?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Approximately a week later, the first part of December.

Mr. Specter.

Now, do you recollect what the FBI man asked you about?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Just about where I found the bullet.

Mr. Specter.

Did he ask you about these stretchers?

Mr. TOMLINSON. Well, he asked me about the stretchers, yes, just about the same thing we've gone over here.

Mr. Specter.

What did the Secret Service man ask you about?
Mr. TOMLINSON. Approximately the same thing, only, we've gone into more detail here.
Mr. SPECTER. What did you tell the Secret Service man about which stretcher you took off of the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. I told him that I was not sure, and I am not--I'm not sure of it, but as I said, I would be going against the oath which I took a while ago, because I am definitely not sure.
Mr. SPECTER. Do you remember if you told the Secret Service man which stretcher you thought you took off of the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. Well, we talked about taking a stretcher off of the elevator, but then when it comes down on an oath, I wouldn't say for sure, I really don't remember.

Mr. Specter.

And do you recollect whether or not you told the Secret Service man which stretcher you took off of the elevator?

Mr. Tomlinson.

What do you mean ?
Mr. SPECTER. You say you can't really take an oath today to be sure whether it was stretcher A or stretcher B that you took off the elevator?
Mr. TOMLINSON. Well, today or any other day, I'm just not sure of it, whether it was A or B that I took off.
Mr. SPECTER. Well, has your recollection always been the same about the situation, that is, today, and when you talked to the Secret Service man and when you talked to the FBI man?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Yes; I told him that I wasn't sure.

Mr. Specter.

So, what you told the Secret Service man was just about the same thing as you have told me today?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

When I first started to ask you about this, Mr. Tomlinson, you

initially identified stretcher A as the one which came off of the elevator car?

Mr. Tomlinson.

Yes; I think it's just like that
Mr, SPECTER. And, then, when

Mr. Tomlinson.

(interrupting). Here's the deal--I rolled that thing off, we got a call, and went to second floor, picked the man up and brought him down. He went on over across, to clear out of the emergency area, but across from it, and picked up two pints of, I believe it was, blood. He told me to hold for him, he had to get right back to the operating room, so I held, and the minute he hit there, we took off for the second floor and I came. back to the ground. Now, I don't know how many people went through that---I don't know how many
