(At this point, Senator Cooper entered the hearing room.)
Mr. Specter. Dr. Humes, this would be a good juncture to produce two photographs.
May it please the Commission, Mr. Chief Justice Warren, I have identified as Commission Exhibits 389 and 390 which will at a later time be identified as being two frames from the motion picture camera operated by one Abraham Zapruder, being the amateur photographer who was on the scene, which I think would assist in evaluating the angle of the President's head corresponding to that exhibit designated as 388.
I will hand those to you, Dr. Humes, and ask you if you would state for the record the relative position of the President's head in 389 which is a frame about one-sixteenth of a second before the point of impact shown in Exhibit 390.
(The frames referred to were marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 389 and 390 for identification.)
Commander Humes. It will be noted in Exhibit 389 that the President's head is bent considerably forward and perhaps somewhat to the left in this frame of the photograph 389.
Mr. Specter. Is that in approximately the same position as the angle of the head depicted in Commission Exhibit No. 388?
Commander Humes. Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Specter. Mr. Chief Justice, at this time I would like to move for admission in evidence of Exhibits 385 through 390.
The Chairman. They may be admitted under those numbers.
