Mr. Eisenberg. 6 to 8 inches?
Mr. Frazier. Yes.
Mr. Eisenberg. What was your 2-inch figure?
Mr. Frazier. I don't recall.
Mr. Eisenberg. But it is 6 to 8 inches in elevation?
Representative Boggs. May I ask a question?
Using that telescopic lens, how would you aim that rifle to achieve that distinction?
Mr. Frazier. Well, it would be necessary to hold the crosshairs an estimated distance off the target, of say, 6 inches over the intended target, so what when the shot was fired the crosshairs should be located about 6 inches over your target, and in the length of time that the bullet was in the air and the length of time the object was moving, the object would move into actually, the path of the bullet in approximately 1/10th to 13/100ths of a second.
Mr. Eisenberg. So that if the target of the assassin was the center of the President's head, and he wanted to give a correct lead, where would he have aimed, if we eliminate the possibility of errors introduced by other factors?
Mr. Frazier. He would aim from 4 to 6 inches—approximately 2 inches, I would say, above the President's head, which would be actually 6 inches above his aiming point at the center of the head.
