(Testimony of William Robert , Special Agent, Greer)

Mr. Specter.
Did you observe any bullets strike any portion of the car or ricochet in any way during the course of the shooting?
Mr. Greer.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Specter.
Did you observe any bullets or fragments of bullets at rest in the car after the shooting terminated?
Mr. Greer.
No, sir; I didn't, I left the car at the hospital and I didn't see it any more until the next day.
Mr. Specter.
I hand you Commission Exhibit No. 349, Mr. Greer, and ask if you are able to identify what that picture represents?
Mr. Greer.
That represents the windshield of the car.
Mr. Specter.
Of the President's car?
Mr. Greer.
Yes, sir; it looks like the windshield of the President's car.
Mr. Specter.
Now calling your attention to a small arrow--
Mr. Greer.
Arrow.
Mr. Specter.
Which points up on what appears to be an indentation, I ask you if you--when was the first time, if at all, that you observed that indentation?
Mr. Greer.
I didn't observe that--
Mr. Specter.
On the car?
Mr. Greer.
Until after I got back to Washington, until the car came back to Washington, I saw it at the White House garage. It was the first time I had ever noticed that.
Mr. Specter.
On what date did you observe that indentation on the car?
Mr. Greer.
That was the day after, the 23, would be it. It would be the day after the shooting. We got back from Dallas.
Mr. Specter.
And what time of the day did you observe the car at the White House garage on that date?
Mr. Greer.
It was in the afternoon, I believe. I believe it was in the afternoon, I believe.
Mr. Specter.
Did anyone call that indentation to your attention at that time?
Mr. Greer.
Yes; I was asked if I knew about it.
Mr. Specter.
Who was it who asked you?
Mr. Greer.
I can't remember now who did say that, but I was shown that indentation at the same time I was the break in the glass. I was shown both and asked if I had known but I can't remember who might have asked me.
Mr. Specter.
Had you ever observed that indentation before the assassination occurred?
Mr. Greer.
No, sir. I had never noticed it before at any time. I had never seen it before.
Mr. Specter.
Had you ever had any occasion to examine closely that metallic area to ascertain whether or not there was such an indentation prior to the assassination?
Mr. Greer.
Well, it seems to me I would have prior to that had it been there because I do take care of the car sometimes, and it had never been--I had never noticed it at any previous time.
Mr. Specter.
I hand you Commission Exhibit 350 and ask you if you are able to state what that depicts?
Mr. Greer.
That depicts a break or a shatter in the windshield of it.
Mr. Specter.
Does that picture accurately represent the status of the windshield on the President's car at sometime?
Mr. Greer.
Yes, sir; that windshield looks real familiar to me on the way it--
Mr. Specter.
At what time, based on your observation, did the windshield of the President's car look like that picture?
Mr. Greer.
I had never seen that until the following day after it came back from Dallas.
Mr. Specter.
But on November 23, did the President's car windshield look like that?
Mr. Greer.
Yes, sir; it looked like there was a break that had a diamond, in the windshield whenever I was shown that at the garage, the White House garage.
