Mr. Specter.

Now, referring back to the press conference, did you define a tangential wound at that time?
Dr. CLARK. Yes.
Mr. SPECTER. And what else did you state at the press conference at 2:30 on November 22?
Dr. CLARK. I stated that the President had lost considerable blood, that one of the contributing causes of death was this massive blood loss, that I was unable to state how many wounds the President had sustained or from what angle they could have come. I finally remember stating that the President's wound was obviously a massive one and was insurvivable.
Mr. SPECTER. What did Dr. Perry say at that time, during the course of that press conference, when the cameras were operating?
Dr. CLARK. As I recall, Dr. Perry stated that there was a small wound h the President's throat, that he made the incision for the tracheotomy through this wound. He discovered that the trachea was deviated so he felt that the missile had entered the President's chest. He asked for chest tubes then to be placed in the pleural cavities. He was asked if this wound in the throat was an entrance wound or an exit wound. He said it was small and clean so it could have been an entrance wound.

Mr. Specter.

Did he say anything else that you can recollect now in response to the question of whether it was a wound of entrance or exit?
Dr. CLARK. No, sir; I cannot recall.

Mr. Specter.

Were you a part of a second press conference, Dr. Clark?
Dr. CLARK. Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

And when did that second press conference occur?
Dr. CLARK. On Saturday, the 23d.

Mr. Specter.

At about what time?
Dr. CLARK. Sometime in the morning, as I recall.

Mr. SPECTER. Going back to the first press conference for just a minute, which television networks were involved on that ?
Dr. CLARK. Without sounding facetious, everyone, including some I had never heard of.
Mr. SPECTER. Can you recollect any besides the three major networks--ABC, CBS, and NBC?
Dr. CLARK. This is all I remember. I remember seeing in the room two reporters from Dallas newspapers whom I know and the radio and television stations were also present.
Mr. SPECTER. Now, going back to the second conference which I had started asking you about, had you had an opportunity to tell me what time of day that was ?
Dr. CLARK. It was in the morning, as I recall.
Mr. SPECTER. And what television stations or networks were involved in the conference ?
Dr. CLARK. Again, all three major networks, and I believe through our local affiliates. It does not seem as though this one was as Jammed and as full as t first one.

Mr. Specter.

And who arranged that press conference?

Dr. CLARK. That press conference was arranged by Mr. Steve Landregan assistant administrator and public relations officer for the hospital. This is his office.
Mr. SPECTER. And who spoke at that press conference while the television cameras were grinding?
Dr. CLARK. Dr. Perry and myself.

Mr. Specter.

And what did you say at that time?
Dr. CLARK. Essentially the same thing as I had on the first press conference again defining tangential, and again describing the' President's wound as be massive and unsurvivable.

Mr. Specter.

And what did Dr. Perry, at that time, say ?

Dr. CLARK. Dr. Perry said very little. He described the President's condition as he first saw him, when he was first called, and he described the manner which he was called to the emergency room.
