Governor Connally. You can tell yourself.
I would say, to describe it for the record, however, that it, the bullet, went in my back just below the right shoulder blade, at just about the point that the right arm joins the shoulder, right in that groove, and exited about 2 inches toward the center of the body from the right nipple of my chest. I can identify these for you.
The bullet went in here—see if I properly describe that—about the juncture of the right arm and the shoulder.
Mr. Specter. Let the record show that the Governor has removed his shirt and we can view the wound on the back which he is pointing toward.
Governor Connally. The other two are tubes that were inserted in my back by the doctors.
Mr. Specter. Dr. Shaw is present and he can, perhaps, describe with identifiable precision where the wounds are.
Dr. Shaw. There is the wound of the drain that has been specifically described. It was not as large as the scar indicated because in cleaning up the ragged edges of the wound, some of the skin was excised in order to make a cleaner incision. This scar——
Mr. Specter. Will you describe the location, Doctor, of that wound on the Governor's back?
Dr. Shaw. Yes. It is on the right shoulder, I will feel it, just lateral to the shoulder blade, the edge of which is about 2 centimeters from the wound, and just above and slightly medial to the crease formed by the axilla or the armpit, the arm against the chest wall.
Mr. Specter. What other scars are shown there on the Governor's back?
