The New York Times of November 23; 1963 stated:
Dr. Malcolm Perry gave details
Mr. Kennedy was hit by a bullet in the throat
This wound had the appearance of a bullet's entry
Let us give the Commission the benefit of all doubts and a
assume that it was right and The New York Times was wrong and
misquoted Dr. Perry. Suppose, therefore, that Dr. Perry merely
said, as the Commission contended he had, that it was "possible
that the neck wound was a wound of entrance. Remember, that
at the time Dr, Perry said that, the federal government had no
evidence with which to coptravene Dr. Perry's assessment of the
neck wound as "póssibly" one of entry. The dead President's
body was in a casked heading for or on the Presidential plane
in preparation for being flown back to Washington for the
pomp of an unprecedented military funeral. we know now, and the
federal government had every reason to known then, that the
Presidential limousine was photographed proceeding away from
the Texas Book Depository Building when it was first fired upon.
On the basis of Dr. Perry's statement of a "possible" entry
wound in the front of the President, and because at the time of
the inception of the firing, and at all times during the firing,
the President had not faced the officially-designated assassion
who was in the rear of the President, an innocent government
would be under obligation to actron.this information. Certainly
we should have anticipated that the Mexican border would, have
been shut off by the U.S. authorities. Transportation terminals
would have been saturated with police officials in an effort to
cut off the escape of the assassin or. assassins who "possibly'
were positioned in the fron of the President, We must bear in
mind that the government did not have at this time the august
and now largely discredited warren Commiss ion Report to hide
