Governor Connally. Mr. Dulles, I would say I was in about this position when I was hit, with my face approximately looking toward you, 20° off of center.
Dr. Shaw. Yes; I got 27°. That didn't make much difference.
Mr. Specter. Is that reading taken then while the Governor is in a seated position, Doctor?
Dr. Shaw. Yes, seated; yes.
Representative Boggs. May I ask a question? How would his hand have been under those circumstances, Doctor, for the bullet to hit his wrist?
Dr. Gregory. I think it fits very well, really, remembering at the other end the trajectory is right here, and there would be no problem to pose his hands in that fashion, and if you will note, you can see it best from over here really, because you did see that the point of entry, and you can visualize his thigh, there is no problem to visualize the trajectory.
Mr. Dulles. Would you be naturally holding your hand in that position?
Dr. Gregory. It could be any place.
Governor Connally. It could be anywhere on that line, Mr. Dulles.
Mr. Chief Justice, you see this is the leg.
