Mr. Frazier.

But if the path of the bullet was such that it came through the body at the right angle, then one bullet could have caused both holes.

The Chairman.

Could have caused both holes.

Mr. Frazier.

Yes.

The Chairman.

That is sufficient.

Mr. Dulles.

Is it correct that the blood on the shirt might well have been occasioned by the second wound rather than exclusively by the first wound?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes; it could have come from any other wound on the body as well as this one.

Mr. Specter.

When you refer to any other wound, Mr. Frazier, are you referring to the head wound which is widely known to have been inflicted on the President at the time of the assassination?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Did you have occasion to examine the President's tie or the tie purportedly worn by the President on November 22, 1963?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes; I did.

Mr. Specter.

May the record show at this juncture that that tie has heretofore been marked as Commission Exhibit 395?

The Chairman.

Yes; it may show that.

Mr. Specter.

What did you note, if anything, with respect to the tie, Mr. Frazier?

Mr. Frazier.

When the tie was examined by me in the laboratory I noted that the neck portion had been cut from one side of the knot. However, the knot remained in apparently its original condition. The only damage to the tie other than the fact that it had been cut, was a crease or nick in the left side of the tie when you consider the tie as being worn on a body. As you view the front of the tie it would be on the right side. This nick would be located in a corresponding area to the area in the shirt collar just below the button.

Mr. Specter.

As you now indicate on your own tie, you are indicating on the portion of the tie to your right?

Mr. Frazier.

If it was on my tie it would be on the left side of the tie.

Mr. Specter.

Your left side.

Mr. Frazier.

The left side of my tie. There is a nick on the left side of the tie if you consider it as left and right according to the person wearing the tie.

Mr. Specter.

Does the nick in the tie provide any indication of the direction of the missile?

Mr. Frazier.

The nick is elongated horizontally, indicating a possible horizontal direction but it does not indicate that the projectile which caused it was exiting or entering at that point. The fibers were not disturbed in a characteristic manner which would permit any conclusion in that connection.

Mr. Specter.

Is the nick consistent with an exiting path?

Mr. Frazier.

Oh, yes.

Mr. Specter.

Is there any indication from the nature of the nick as to the nature of the projectile itself?

Mr. Frazier.

No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Is the nick consistent with a 6.5 millimeter bullet having caused the nick?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes. Any projectile could have caused the nick. In this connection there was no metallic residue found on the tie, and for that matter there was no metallic residue found on the shirt at the holes in the front. However, there was in the back.

Mr. Specter.

Did any of the other----

Mr. Dulles.

Excuse me, on the back of the coat?

Mr. Frazier.

The shirt.

Mr. Dulles.

Back of the coat and on the shirt?

Mr. Frazier.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Did any of the other items of President Kennedy's clothing which you have heretofore referred to contain any indications at all of any bullet holes or any other type of holes?

Mr. Frazier.

No, sir.

Mr. Specter.

Mr. Frazier, did you have occasion to examine the clothing which
