The Chairman. Yes; it may show that.
Mr. Specter. What did you note, if anything, with respect to the tie, Mr. Frazier?
Mr. Frazier. When the tie was examined by me in the laboratory I noted that the neck portion had been cut from one side of the knot. However, the knot remained in apparently its original condition. The only damage to the tie other than the fact that it had been cut, was a crease or nick in the left side of the tie when you consider the tie as being worn on a body. As you view the front of the tie it would be on the right side. This nick would be located in a corresponding area to the area in the shirt collar just below the button.
Mr. Specter. As you now indicate on your own tie, you are indicating on the portion of the tie to your right?
Mr. Frazier. If it was on my tie it would be on the left side of the tie.
Mr. Specter. Your left side.
Mr. Frazier. The left side of my tie. There is a nick on the left side of the tie if you consider it as left and right according to the person wearing the tie.
Mr. Specter. Does the nick in the tie provide any indication of the direction of the missile?
Mr. Frazier. The nick is elongated horizontally, indicating a possible horizontal direction but it does not indicate that the projectile which caused it was exiting or entering at that point. The fibers were not disturbed in a characteristic manner which would permit any conclusion in that connection.
Mr. Specter. Is the nick consistent with an exiting path?
