The Chairman. The first shot?
Dr. Olivier. Well, I don't know whether the first or second. The first one could have missed. It could have been the second that hit both.
The Chairman. The one that went through his back and came out his trachea?
Dr. Olivier. It could have hit the Governor in the chest and went through because it had so little velocity after coming out of the wrist that it barely penetrated the thigh.
The Chairman. May I ask one more question? Would you think, that the same bullet could have done all three of those things?
Dr. Olivier. That same bullet was capable.
The Chairman. Gone through the President's back as it did, gone through Governor Connally's chest as it did, and then through his hand as it did?
Dr. Olivier. It was certainly capable of doing all that.
The Chairman. It was capable?
Dr. Olivier. Yes.
