Mr. Eisenberg.

Seven days after the assassination.
And in the intervening period, correspondingly, the FBI had no such knowledge?

Mr. Latona.

As far as I know.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Latona, could you tell us what portion of the palm of Lee Harvey Oswald you identified that print as being?

Mr. Latona.

Yes. Here again I have a photograph that will show the approximate area involved, which is on the ulnar side of the lower portion of the palm.

Mr. Eisenberg.

The ulnar----

Mr. Latona.

Down near the base of the palm toward the wrist.

Mr. Eisenberg.

This is the right palm?

Mr. Latona.

The right palm.

Mr. Eisenberg.

As it was in the case of the paper bag, Exhibit 142?

Mr. Latona.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Could you display that photograph, please? This is a photograph which you took of the inked print which was furnished to you by the Dallas office?

Mr. Latona.

I didn't personally prepare the photographs. They were prepared at my personal direction.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Was it prepared under your supervision?

Mr. Latona.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Is it an accurate reproduction?

Mr. Latona.

It is.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Chairman, may I have this admitted as 638?

Representative Ford.

It shall be admitted.
(The photograph referred to was marked as Commission Exhibit No. 638, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Latona.

I might point out that you have the original of this which has been previously admitted.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Yes; but this photograph shows a red circle around the portion which you identified----

Mr. Latona.

That is right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

As being the latent found on the lift, is that right?
(Discussion off the record.)
(The reporter read the last question.)

Mr. Latona.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Latona, now you are showing me another photograph which appears to be a photograph of the lift itself, Exhibit 637, but an enlargement thereof?

Mr. Latona.

Slightly enlarged; yes, sir.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Was this prepared by you or under your supervision?

Mr. Latona.

It was.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And there is a red circle around this, on this photograph, that is around the print, the latent print?

Mr. Latona.

That is right.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Chairman, may I have this photograph admitted as 639?

Representative Ford.

It shall be admitted.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 639, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Latona, did you also prepare a chart showing an enlarged portion of the inked and latent palmprint?

Mr. Latona.

Yes, sir; I did.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Illustrating some of the points which you used in making your identification?

Mr. Latona.

Yes, sir; I did.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Was this chart prepared by you or under your supervision?

Mr. Latona.

This was prepared under my direct supervision.

Mr. Eisenberg.

May I have this admitted as 640?

Representative Ford.

It shall be admitted.
(The chart referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 640, and received in evidence.)
