Mr. Frazier. It was identified to me as having come from the arm of Governor Connally.
Mr. Specter. Will you produce that fragment at this time, please?
Mr. Frazier. This one does not have a Commission number as yet.
Mr. Specter. May it please the Commission, I would like to have this fragment marked as Commission Exhibit 842.
(Commission Exhibit No. 842 was marked for identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. Specter. Now, referring to a fragment heretofore marked as Q9 for FBI record purposes, and now marked as Commission Exhibit No. 842, will you describe that fragment for us, please?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; this is a small fragment of metal which weighed one-half a grain when I first examined it in the laboratory. It is a piece of lead, and could have been a part of a bullet or a core of a bullet.
However, it lacks any physical characteristics which would permit stating whether or not it actually originated from a bullet.
Mr. Specter. Are its physical characteristics consistent with having come from Commission Exhibit 399?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir; it could have.
