Mr. Eisenberg. Can you describe to us the telescopic sight on the rifle in terms of——

Mr. McCloy. Before you get to the sight, can I ask a question?

Mr. Eisenberg. Surely.

Mr. McCloy. How soon after the assassination did you examine this rifle?

Mr. Frazier. We received the rifle the following morning.

Mr. McCloy. Received it in Washington?

Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir.

Mr. McCloy. And you immediately made your examination of it then?

Mr. Frazier. We made an examination of it at that time, and kept it temporarily in the laboratory.

It was then returned to the Dallas Police Department, returned again to the laboratory—the second time on November 27th, and has been either in the laboratory's possession or the Commission's possession since then.
