00:00Chair would now like to recognize Mr. Burchett for five minutes.
00:03Thank you, Chair Lady.
00:04Dr. Curtis, what happened when the Warren Commission called you to testify about what you knew about the JFK wounds?
00:12Dr. Curtis.
00:16Yes, sir, I'm sorry. I've got hearing aids, too, so don't worry about it, brother.
00:21What happened when the Warren Commission called you to testify about what you knew about JFK's wounds?
00:30Well, the Warren Commission hasn't called me to testify at all.
00:37Not at all?
00:39Uh-uh.
00:39Okay.
00:40I didn't use up all my time, and I'd like to make some additional comments regarding...
00:47Sir, you have the time that you need, so please proceed.
00:51Okay. Well, let me know when I can do it.
00:55Well, now, sir, I believe Mr. Burchett has a line of questions for you,
00:59so you're free to talk to Mr. Burchett.
01:02Yes, sir.
01:04Can you explain what condition...
01:07When President Kennedy arrived in the emergency room, what was his condition at that point?
01:12He had already died.
01:14Okay.
01:14How many wounds did you observe on President Kennedy?
01:18How many wounds?
01:18President Kennedy had a wound to, of course, the big wound to his head.
01:25Right.
01:25But he also had a wound to his throat, and I've got a little diagram here.
01:30I can point that out, how that worked, if you'd like me to.
01:32And that wouldn't have been a single bullet wound, though, right?
01:35They talk about this magical bullet that traveled.
01:38That would have been more than one bullet, you think?
01:40Magic bullet didn't strike the President at all.
01:44Oh, okay.
01:45Yeah, that was a clean bullet.
01:46I saw the picture.
01:49Given...
01:50Do what?
01:51What?
01:53Yeah, please show the diagram.
01:56Okay.
01:58The bullets that were fired, the blue bullet was the bullet that arrived first.
02:06And you can see it started from, probably, from the railroad trestle, which is to the southwest,
02:15and came up and first struck President Kennedy before he got out from under the tree that prevented
02:22the window shooter from shooting.
02:26Then, and we know that because the Zaprooter film showed President Kennedy holding his throat
02:35in real distress when the Zaprooter film started.
02:41And he had already been shot, and that wound to his throat would have killed him.
02:47It did kill him, because we know from the tracheostomy that we had to do that the bullet to his throat
02:57obstructed the trachea, and so he had taken his last breath before that.
03:06Also, the bullet that struck President Kennedy in the temple killed him also, because it just
03:15removed about a third of his brain.
03:18And the part of the brain that it removed was in the posterior part of the brain, and that
03:24is the area of the brain that controls the parasympathematic and the automatic nervous system.
03:36And so the two bullets that came from the window, one struck Conley, and it's the only thing that it did.
03:52It went in Conley's shoulder, went through his chest, came out of his chest, into his left wrist,
03:59and to his left leg, and that indicates that the bullet was coming from the north, going southeast, southwest,
04:10and that bullet was only for Governor Conley.
04:15The other bullet that came out was this other one here.
04:21Then that would have been the magic bullet.
04:26That's the one that went in the president's back, and the Warren Commission then wanted
04:34to choose that bullet to be the magic bullet which went through the top of his head.
04:43Now, that's essentially what I wanted to say.
04:50Okay. And that was, how many bullets did you say?
04:55Three or four?
04:56That were fired?
04:57Yes, sir.
04:57Four.
04:58Okay, and that was a bolt action Italian carbine.
05:02Well, two of the bullets came from the front.
05:04Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I know, but they were trying to tell us if Lee Harvey Oswald was the same.
05:08The only bullets that came from the window were two bullets, and three bullets came from the window.
05:14One hit the curb, the other hit Conley, and the other one went in the president's back, and that's well-documented.
05:24Yes, sir. Thank you, and I yield no time.
05:28May the chair like to now recognize Mr. Burke.
