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 has heretofore been identified in prior Commission proceedings
as that worn by Governor Connally on November 22, 1963?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes; I did.
Mr. SPECTER. I now hand you what purports to be the Governor's coat,
and may the record show that has been heretofore marked as Commission
Exhibit No. 683?
(At this point the Chairman left the hearing room.)
Mr. DULLES [presiding]. The record may so show.
Mr. SPECTER. Have you had opportunity heretofore to examine that coat?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes; I have.
Mr. SPECTER. What did your examination reveal with respect to the back
side of the coat?
Mr. FRAZIER. There was found on the coat by me when I first examined
it, near the right sleeve 1-1/8 inches from the seam where the sleeve
attaches to the coat, and 7-1/4 inches to the right of the midline
when you view the back of the coat, a hole which is elongated in a
horizontal direction to the length of approximately five-eights of an
inch, and which had an approximate one-quarter inch height.
Mr. SPECTER. Were you able to determine from your examination of the
Governor's clothing whether or not they had been cleaned and pressed
prior to the time you saw them?
Mr. FRAZIER. Yes; they had.
Mr. SPECTER. Is that different from or the same as the condition of the
President's clothing which you have just described this morning?
Mr. FRAZIER. It is different in that the President's clothing had not
been cleaned. It had only been dried. The blood was dried. However, the
Governor's garments had been cleaned and pressed.
Mr. SPECTER. Had the President's clothing been pressed then?
Mr. FRAZIER. No, sir.
