Mr. Specter. So that would be the first position where the marksman could focus in on the circled point where the point of entry on the President was marked?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct.
Mr. Specter. Could the marksman then have taken a shot at the President at any prior position and have struck him with the point of entry on that spot, on the base of the President's neck?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. I don't quite understand the question.
Mr. Specter. Was there any prior position, that is a position before position A, where the marksman from the sixth floor could have fired the weapon and have struck the President at the known point of entry at the base of the back of his neck?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. No; because as the car moves back, you lose sight of the chalk mark on the back of his coat.
Mr. Specter. And what is the distance between that point on the President and station C?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is 44 feet from station C—91.6 feet to the rifle in the window from the actual chalk mark on the coat. All measurements were made to the chalk mark on the coat.
Mr. Specter. On the coat of the President?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct.
