Mr. Greer.

the door of the emergency room most of the time while they were, the doctors were, working on the President's body.

Mr. Specter.

How many doctors were working on him in the emergency room?

Mr. Greer.

There were, between nurses and doctors, I would estimate there were, between 10 or 12 people, maybe not that many, 8 to 10 people in and out of that room. I don't know how many of them were doctors, attendants, nurses, and things like that with white jackets and they would come in and say, "I am doctor so-and- so."

Mr. Specter.

How long were they working on him there in the emergency room?

Mr. Greer.

I couldn't remember the time.

Mr. Specter.

You say you were with him most of the time?

Mr. Greer.

I was inside the door. I know, I kept the door closed most of the time, let doctors and nurses in and out while he was--while they were working on him. I stayed inside the emergency room door.

Mr. Specter.

Was there any special reason for you to leave part of the time?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; I didn't go any farther away than outside the door.

Mr. Specter.

Were there any other Secret Service agents inside the emergency room at that time?

Mr. Greer.

Not at that time; I was inside the door.

Mr. Specter.

Where was Mrs. Kennedy at this time?

Mr. Greer.

Mrs. Kennedy was outside the door. They got her a chair out there for a little while and then she insisted on coming in and she got in the corner for a little while there and stayed there a little while and I don't quite remember the time she went over to his body but she did go over there, and I don't remember how far along the doctors had been on him when that happened.

Mr. Specter.

Were you able to overhear any of the conversations among the doctors in the emergency room?

Mr. Greer.

I don't understand anything that they were discussing at all.

Mr. Specter.

Did a priest or more than one priest come upon the scene?

Mr. Greer.

I believe there were two. To the best of my recollection there eventually was two.

Mr. Specter.

How long after President Kennedy arrived at the emergency room did the priest arrive, if you recollect?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; I wouldn't have any idea, it seemed to me it was quite a little while in the matter, probably minutes.

Mr. Specter.

Approximately how long did the priests stay?

Mr. Greer.

I don't remember that, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Did they say anything on leaving or in entering?

Mr. Greer.

Not that I heard of personally. I was outside the room when the priest was in there. I wasn't in the emergency room while he was in.

Mr. Specter.

When did you find that the President had died?

Mr. Greer.

When the priest was in to give him the last rites then I knew that.

Mr. Specter.

Do you have any reasonably close estimate on when the President did die?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; I haven't right off. I would have to look at some reports.

Mr. Specter.

What did you do after the President was pronounced dead?

Mr. Greer.

We stayed there until everything was settled up. I believe there was a judge came in there and I think, someone came in and made the decisions on removing the body and the casket was brought in, and the body was put in the casket. I had this, his clothing, I kept it in my hand at all times, all the time. Then I went, when they removed the casket from the emergency room, I was in front of it going out to make a path to get it to the ambulance.
So, I helped get it into the ambulance and then I drove a car with some agents and some people right behind the ambulance to Love Field back to the airport again and helped to get the casket aboard the airplane.

Mr. Specter.

Were you present at the swearing in of President Johnson?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir; I was--we were all asked to come back into the state room but I wasn't in too close. I was in the main part of the plane, as close as I could get to it, yes.
