Mr. Specter.

And what is Dr. Midgett's first name?
Miss BOWRON. Bill.

Mr. Specter.

And, where did you take your stretcher?

Miss BOWRON. To the left-hand side of the car as you are facing it, and we had to move Governor Connally out first because he was in the front. We couldn't get to the back seat. While all the Secret Service men were moving Governor Connally I went around to the other side of the car to try to help with the President and then we got him onto the second cart and then took him straight over to trauma room 1.

Mr. Specter.

Trauma room No. 1?
Miss BOWRON. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And describe in a general way Governor Connally's condition when you first saw him?
Miss BOWRON. He was very pale, he was leaning forward and onto Mrs. Connally but apparently---I didn't notice very much---I was more concerned with the person in the back of the car---the President.
Mr. SPECTER. And what, in a general way, did you observe with respect to President Kennedy's condition?
Miss BOWRON. He was very pale, he was lying across Mrs. Kennedy's knee and there seemed to be blood everywhere. When I went around to the other side of the car I saw the condition of his head.

Mr. Specter.

You saw the condition of his what?
Miss BOWRON. The back of his head.

Mr. Specter.

And what was that condition?
Miss BOWRON. Well, it was very bad---you know.

Mr. Specter.

How many holes did you see?
Miss BOWRON. I just saw one large hole.

Mr. Specter.

Did you see a small bullet hole beneath that one large hole?
Miss BOWRON. No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Did you notice any other wound on the President's body?
Miss BOWRON. No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

And what action did you take at that time, if any?

Miss BOWRON. I helped to lift his head and Mrs. Kennedy pushed me away and lifted his head herself onto the cart and so I went around back to the cart and walked off with it. We ran on with it to the trauma room and she ran beside us.

Mr. Specter.

And who was in the trauma room when you arrived there?
Miss BOWRON. Dr. Carrico.

Mr. Specter.

Where did Dr. Carrico join you?

Miss BOWRON. At the---I couldn't really tell you exactly, but it was inside major surgery. Miss Henchliffe, the other nurse who is assigned to major surgery, was in the trauma room already setting the I.V.'s---the intravenous bottles up.

Mr. Specter.

And were there any other nurses present at that time when
the President arrived in the trauma area?
Miss BOWRON. I don't think so, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Were there any doctors present besides Dr. Carrico?
Miss BOWRON. I didn't notice anybody---there may have been.

Mr. Specter.

What action did you observe Dr. Carrico take, if any?

Miss BOWRON. We tried to start an I.V. cutdown and I don't know whether it was his left or his right leg, and Miss Henchliffe and I cut off his clothing and then after that everybody just arrived at once and it was more or less everybody sort of helping everybody else. We opened the chest tube trays and the venesectron trays.

Mr. Specter.

How long were you present in the emergency room No. 1?
Miss BOWRON. I was in there until they needed some blood, which was the second lot of blood. I went---ran out across to the blood bank and came back and went into the trauma room. By that time they had decided that he was dead, they said.
And then, we stayed in there with him and cleaned him up, removed all of his clothing and put them all together and Miss Henchliffe gave them to
