Dr. Olivier. Yes; I have.

Mr. Specter. And what did you find on that comparison?

Dr. Olivier. The bullet recovered on the stretcher has not been flattened as much, but there is a suggestion of flattening there from a somewhat similar occurrence. Also, the lead core has extruded from the rear in the same fashion, and it appears that some of it has even broken from the rear.

Mr. Specter. Is there some flattening on both of those bullets in approximately the same areas toward the rear of the missiles?

Dr. Olivier. In the bullet, our particular bullet is flattened the whole length, but you say towards the rear?

Mr. Specter. You say our bullet; you mean 853?

Dr. Olivier. Yes, 853 is flattened. No. 399 is flattened more towards the rear.

Mr. Specter. Are there any other conclusions which you have to add to the tests performed on the goat?

Dr. Olivier. Well, again in this test it demonstrates that the bullet that was stable when it struck in this fashion again lost very little velocity in going through that much goat tissue.

Incidentally, the amount of goat tissue it traversed was probably somewhat less than the Governor, but in any case it indicates the bullet would have had a lot of remaining velocity and could have done a lot of damage.
