(Testimony of Roy H. , Special Agent, Kellerman)

Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Specter.
And approximately where did those pictures begin and end?
Mr. Kellerman.
These pictures began as we turned off Houston Street onto Elm.
Mr. Specter.
And where did they end?
Mr. Kellerman.
As we are, just before we are, going into the viaduct.
Mr. Specter.
Were those black and white or in color?
Mr. Kellerman.
No; they were colored.
Mr. Specter.
Have you seen any other films of the assassination?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes; I saw a black-and-white, but I didn't--I saw a black-and-white film. However, I didn't get enough out of it there to--
Mr. Specter.
Before proceeding any further, I would like to move for the introduction in evidence of Exhibit 351.
Representative Ford.
It is approved.
(The windshield referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 351 for identification and was received in evidence.)
Mr. Specter.
Do you have anything at all to add which you think might be helpful, Mr. Kellerman, on the question of how many shots were fired, or have you told us everything you have in mind on that question?
Mr. Kellerman.
I believe I have, Mr. Specter.
Senator COOPER. What was the name of the special agent driving the car--the President's car?
Mr. Kellerman.
William Greer.
Senator COOPER. He was the one to whom you spoke when you heard the report?
Mr. Kellerman.
Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Has he ever expressed any opinion to you as to the number of shots that were fired?
Mr. Kellerman.
No, sir. I think we are all of the opinion, Senator, that we know of three.
Mr. Specter.
Mr. Kellerman, referring to Commission Exhibit No. 347, will you pinpoint as precisely as you can on that aerial shot, aerial picture, where the President's car was at the time of the first shot? And mark that, if you would, please, with an "X" in red pencil.
Mr. Kellerman.
My guess would be right in here, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Now, would you mark as closely as you can where the President's car was at the time of the second shot and mark that with a "Y" in red.
(Mr. Kellerman marking the picture.)
Mr. Specter.
Now, you have marked the cars being in approximately the middle of the road; is that accurate, as you recollect it?
Mr. Kellerman.
That is the general procedure, Mr. Specter; they were traveling in the center of the road.
Mr. Specter.
Now, with respect to the time of the third shot, would your marking be any different from the "Y" position?
Mr. Kellerman.
No; it would not.
Mr. Specter.
Now, from the time of the shooting until the time the automobile arrived at Parkland Hospital, did anyone in the President's car say anything that you have not already told us about?
Mr. Kellerman.
No, sir.
Mr. Specter.
Mr. Kellerman, there is a report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation designated "Bureau File No. 105"--I believe there is an "S", although it is somewhat illegible on my copy--"S2555, report of Special Agent Robert P. Gemberling," dated December 10, 1963, which refers to an interview of you by Special Agent Francis X. O'Neill, Jr., and James W. Sibert, in which the following is set forth:
"He"--and this obviously refers to you--"advised that he heard a shot and immediately turned around looking past Governor Connally who was seated directly in back of him, to the President. He observed the President slumped forward and heard him say 'get me to a hospital.' Mr. Kellerman then heard Mrs. Kennedy say, 'Oh, no, as the President leaned toward her." That is the end of the quotation. My question is: Did you hear him; did you hear President Kennedy say, "Get me to a hospital"?
