Mr. Specter.

Do those photographs represent the condition of the back seat of the President's car at some time?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir; they do.

Mr. Specter.

And at what time do those pictures look just as the back seat of the President's car looked?

Mr. Greer.

It looked like that when it came back from Dallas.

Mr. Specter.

Did it look like that immediately after President Kennedy was removed from the back seat?

Mr. Greer.

I wasn't there any more, sir. I was with the President after they lifted him out. I didn't see the car after he had been removed.

Mr. Specter.

Did you observe the back seat of the car at any time from the time you arrived at Parkland Hospital until you observed the automobile in Washington?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

On November 23?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; I didn't.

Mr. Specter.

By the way, Mr. Greer, how much, approximately, does or did the President's automobile weigh?

Mr. Greer.

It weighed between--well, for flight reason we said 8,000, but it wasn't that much. It probably was 7,500. We had extra weight on it.

Mr. Specter.

Are you able to tell the Commission the dimensions of the automobile, indicating its length?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir. It is 21 feet 8 inches long.

Mr. Specter.

And how wide?

Mr. Greer.

I would have to go back for the width on it. I have it all in black and white in the office, but I haven't got it with me in my head right now; I am sorry.

Mr. Specter.

Could three people sit comfortably in the front seat of the automobile?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir; it was wide enough for three. We many times had an aide in there; many times, an aide rode in the front.

Mr. Specter.

Was it as wide or wider than, say, a Cadillac automobile?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; it would be probably the same width.

Representative Boggs.

Was that car specially made for the President?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir; it was a specially built car.

Representative Boggs.

Was it a Lincoln Continental?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir; a Lincoln Continental.

Representative Boggs.

How did it differ from the ordinary Lincoln?

Mr. Greer.

Well, Lincoln doesn't make a seven-passenger car, and this was a seven-passenger car. The back seat on this car would raise 8 inches. It was electric, and you could lift, you could raise, the seat up 8 inches from the ground, from the floorboards. It had a little step that went with it. The President could raise it up and down himself. He had a button alongside that would cause it to go up and down when the top wasn't down. It wouldn't go up and down when the top was down. But when it was off he could raise it up or down, and it would be above the other seat.

Mr. Specter.

Do you know whether the seat was actually raised at the time of the assassination?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; I couldn't say right off. I don't believe it was, but I wouldn't know.

Mr. Specter.

Going back to the shots themselves, Mr. Greer, do you have any reaction as to the direction from which the shots came?

Mr. Greer.

They sounded like they were behind me, to the right rear of me.

Mr. Specter.

Would that be as to all three shots?

Mr. Greer.

Yes, sir. They sounded, everything sounded, behind me, to me. That was my thought, train of thought, that they were behind me.

Mr. Specter.

Have you ever had any reaction or thought at any time since the assassination that the shots came from the front of the car?

Mr. Greer.

No, sir; I had never even the least thought that they could come. There was no thought in my mind other than that they were behind me.

Mr. Specter.

Yes, sir.
