United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SPECTER. Are his report and your formal report a part of the
permanent record of the FBI then?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir.
Mr. SPECTER. I now show you Commission Exhibit No. 350 which has
heretofore been identified as a picture of the windshield of the
Presidential limousine and I ask you if that is the crack about which
you have just testified?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes; it is. This Exhibit 350 is a photograph which I took
on the 23d of November, showing a view from the front toward the rear
of the Presidential limousine and showing the crack in the glass and
the lead residue on the inside surface.
Mr. SPECTER. Would you produce at this time the lead residue obtained
by you from that inside surface, please? May it please the Commission,
I would like to mark this as Commission Exhibit 841 and move for its
admission into evidence at this time.
Mr. DULLES. It shall be admitted into evidence.
(Commission Exhibit No. 841 was marked for identification and received
in evidence.)
Mr. DULLES. May I just ask a question of you, Mr. Specter, and possibly
of the witness.
I assume that the windshield we are now discussing is the windshield
that was exhibited to the Commission several weeks ago and which
members of the Commission examined?
Mr. SPECTER. It was, Mr. Dulles, and we can establish that, of record,
through another Commission Exhibit which is 351, which was the number
given to the windshield and we have a reproduction here through the
photograph.
Mr. DULLES. You don't have the windshield here today, though?
Mr. SPECTER. No, we do not.
Mr. DULLES. It would be the same windshield that the Commission saw.
Mr. SPECTER. We can establish it through the witness, too.
Mr. Frazier, for that purpose can you identify what is depicted in a
photograph heretofore identified as Commission Exhibit 351?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir; this is a photograph of the very small pattern
of cracks in the windshield which was on the Presidential limousine
at the time I examined it, and which I also later examined in the FBI
laboratory.
(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. Frazier, have you now described all of your findings
on the windshield of the Presidential limousine?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes, sir; that is concerning the glass itself and not the
molding around the windshield.
Mr. SPECTER. Will you then move to the molding around the windshield
and state what, if anything, you found there?
Mr. FRAZIER. On the strip of chrome which goes across the top of the
windshield and again on the passenger side of the windshield or the
inside surface, I found a dent in the chrome which had been caused by
some projectile which struck the chrome on the inside surface.
Mr. SPECTER. Was there one dent or more than one dent or what?
Mr. FRAZIER. One dent.
Mr. SPECTER. Will you identify what is depicted by a photograph
heretofore marked as Commission Exhibit 349?
