Dr. Olivier. The exit velocity was 1,664 feet per second.
Mr. Specter. I now hand you a box containing a bullet, which has been marked as Commission Exhibit No. 853, and ask you if you have ever seen that bullet before?
Dr. Olivier. Yes; I have.
Mr. Specter. And under what circumstances have you previously seen that bullet?
Dr. Olivier. This was the bullet that was fired through the goat. It went through the velocity screens into some cotton waste, dropped out of the bottom of that and was lying on the floor. It was picked up immediately afterwards still warm, so we knew it was the bullet that had fired that particular shot.
Mr. Specter. Was that fired through the goat depicted in the photographs and X-ray, 851 and 852?
Dr. Olivier. Yes; that was the goat.
Mr. Specter. Would you describe for the record, verbally please, the characteristics of that bullet?
Dr. Olivier. The bullet has been quite flattened. The lead core is extruding somewhat from the rear. We weighed the bullet. It weighs 158.8 grains.
Mr. Specter. I now hand you Commission Exhibit 399, which has been heretofore in Commission proceedings identified as the bullet found on the stretcher of Governor Connally, and ask if you have had an opportunity to compare 399 with 853?
