Mr. Specter.
And what is Price Exhibit No. 32?
Mr. Price.
A summary of the activities of Robert G. Holcomb, who is assistant administrator in charge of correlating the professional services of the hospital.
Mr. Specter.
What is Price Exhibit No. 33?

Mr. PRICE. This is a summary of my personal impressions of the events that transpired on November 24.
Mr. Specter.
And what is Price Exhibit 34?
Mr. PRICE. This is a summary of my activities at the office Saturday and Sunday, the 23d and 24th.
Mr. Specter.
Are those all of the summaries of those who made reports to you?
Mr. Price.
Yes; they are. These are primarily the summaries of individuals who were involved in the care of our late President, in the care of Governor Connally, and in the care of Oswald, who were requested to make these summaries to my office as their activities would not normally be stated on patients' charts or in other records of the hospital.
Mr. SPECTER. I now hand you Price Exhibit No. 35 and ask you if that is a photostatic copy of the report of Dr. Charles Gregory, after it was altered in a few minor respects as shown on the face of the record?
Mr. Price.
Well, if I may change this terminology?
Mr. Specter.
Sure.
Mr. Price.
This is a copy of Dr. Charles Gregory's records as it appears in Governor Connally's charts, which he corrected prior to signing the transcript. What I was trying to say, or wanted to make clear, was that frequently in transcribing, the medical secretaries who transcribe operative records, they make mistakes, and I wanted to be sure that there was no suggestion that the record was altered, when what Dr. Gregory has done was to write in corrections that were noticed at the time he read it and signed it.

Mr. SPECTER. I understand it was transcribed, and when he reviewed it before signing it he noticed inaccuracies in the transcription.
Mr. Price.
That's right. This is correct. Your phraseology is much better than mine.
Mr. Specter.
Thank you very much, Mr. Price.
Mr. Price.
Thank you, sir.

Mr. SPECTER. That's all. I wanted to put all of these in the record, Jack, to show that they are duly authenticated by the appropriate custodian of the records.
Mr. PRICE. Well, I wanted to be sure that there was no hint that the record had been altered here.
Mr. SPECTER. Yes; I understand that. I think you are absolutely right on that. Thank you.
Mr. Price.
All right. Thank you.
