Library and Archives Commission said of Connally's clothing. "You can read about
it and you can think about it, but to actually be in the room with it certainly
gives you pause."Connally, then-governor of Texas,fling

The
Warren Commission set up to investigate the assassination concluded that
Connally was hit by the same bullet that first hit Kennedy.
"There are
bullet holes both in the back and the front of the suit jacket," she said.
"There is one bullet hole in the wearer's right cuff, and there is another in
the left leg, on the front."John Anderson, who as preservation Officer for the
Commission is responsible for taking care of the items of clothing, said it was
only by accident that the clothing survived that day."The governor was in
extreme pain as they were trying to remove his trousers at the hospital, and he
said something to the effect of 'just cut the damn things off,' but then he lost
consciousness," he said.Connally donated the shirt, suit,crouchless

and the striped tie he was wearing to the state archives while he
was still hospitalised.Connally served two terms as governor, became the
secretary of the Treasury under President Richard Nixon and, like many Texas
Democrats of his generation, switched to the Republican Party.Vast selection of
