Mr. Shaneyfelt.

Point No. 7 in photographs A, B, and C, shows the area of the left side of Oswald's head where retouching has been added to the Life magazine photograph, Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 13--------

Mr. Redlich.

May I interrupt you there? You said where retouching has been added to the Life photograph. Did you mean that or did you mean that the Life photograph as published contained this retouching?

Mr. Shaneyfelt.

I mean that the Life photograph as published contains the retouching. That the retouching has been added prior to publication.
Point No. 7 refers to the retouching along the left side of Oswald's head in the hair area, and is clearly visible as retouching in the photographs B and C at point No. 7.
Point No. 8 refers to an area of background to the right of Oswald's -head, to the left of his head as the viewer looks at the picture. This is an area that has been. airbrushed in order to lighten the background so that the detail of the photograph in that area will be better.
Point No. 9 in photographs A, B, and C of Shaneyfelt EXhibit No. 14, shows an area directly below the rifle butt to the side of Oswald's right thigh where retouching has been added to decrease the darkness of the shadow between two fence posts in that area.
This is evident in area 9 of photographs B and C. It is more clearly shown
Point No. 10 in the three photographs on Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 14 shows the retouching between the thighs of Oswald. Photograph A shows quite a dark area between the thighs, and this has been eliminated by retouching as shown in 10-B and 10-C, and the retouching clearly shows in 10-C.
Likewise, there is a dark shadow along the side of 0swald,s left knee that has been eliminated by retouching or softened by retouching, and this retouching shows in Exhibits B and C at point 11.
This represents the primary or outstanding areas of retouching that I found from an examination of the Life magazine photograph, which is Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 13.

Mr. Redlich.

Mr. Shaneyfelt, when you discussed this photograph in your prior testimony, you expressed your opinion to the effect that the retouching which was done preparatory to the publication of the photograph on the Cover of Life magazine was normal and customary. On the basis of your detailed examination of the retouching made from the photograph a.s submitted to the

Commission by Life magazine, would you now care to state your opinion as to whether-this is customary and normal retouching in connection with the publication of a photograph?

Mr. Shaneyfelt.

Yes. It is my opinion, based on my examination of the photograph, Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 13, that all-of the retouching that I found on this photograph I would consider to be normal, routine retouching that is a normal part of the reproduction process.

Mr. Redlich.

In your prior testimony, you stated that on the-basis of your examination of the photograph which had been published in Life magazine, it was your opinion that this photograph published in Life magazine was the same photograph which has heretofore been designated as Commission Exhibit No. 133-A, with the retouching that you have described.
Now, today, on the basis of your detailed examination of this retouching, is it still your opinion that the photograph which appeared on the cover of Life magazine is a retouched photograph of the photograph which has. heretofore been designated as Commission Exibit No. 133-A ?

Mr. Shaneyfelt.

Yes.
(Shaneyfelt Exhibits Nos. 15 and 16 were marked and introduced.)

Mr. Redlich.

Mr. Shaneyfelt, I now hand you an exchange of correspondence between the Commission and Newsweek, Inc., the publishers of Newsweek magazine, which is marked Shaneyfelt Exhibits Nos. 15 and 16, and' ask you if you have had an opportunity to review this exchange of correspondence ?
Mr. SHANEYFELT. Yes; I have.

Mr. Redlich.

The record will show that in prior testimony appearing on page. 414 of volume 7 of the hearings of the Commission, you testified concerning the
