Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; I feel that it would have.
Mr. Specter. Was your examination a thorough examination of all aspects of the interior of the automobile?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; for our purpose. However, we did not tear out all of the rugs on the floor, for instance. We examined the rugs carefully for holes, for bullet furroughs, for fragments. We examined the nap of the rug, in the actual nap of the rug, for fragments and bullet holes. We pulled the rug back as far as we could turn it back and even tore the glue or adhesive material loose around the cracks at the edges of the rug so we could observe the cracks to see whether they had been enlarged, and we examined all of the upholstery covering, on the back of the front seat, on the doors, and in the rear seat compartment, the jump seats, the actual rear seat, the back of the rear seat, and we examined the front seat in a similar manner, and we found no bullet holes or other bullet impact areas, other than the one on the inside of the windshield and the dent inside the windshield chrome.
Mr. Specter. Had any of those portions of the automobile been struck by the bullet exiting from the President's neck, which I have described hypothetically for you, would you have found some evidence of striking?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles. When was this examination made?
Mr. Frazier. Between 2 and 4:30 a.m. on November 23, 1963.
Mr. Dulles. That was about 10 hours, 12 hours after the assassination?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; 14 to 16 hours.
Mr. Dulles. Fourteen to sixteen hours.
