Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; because of the difference in the automobiles there was a variation of 10 inches, a vertical distance of 10 inches that had to be considered. The stand-in for President Kennedy was sitting 10 inches higher and the stand-in for Governor Connally was sitting 10 inches higher than the President and Governor Connally were sitting and we took this into account in our calculations.
Mr. Specter. Was any allowance then made in the photographing of the first point or rather last point at which the spot was visible on the back of the coat of President Kennedy's stand-in before passing under the oak tree?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; there was. After establishing this position, represented by frame 161, where the chalk mark was about to disappear under the tree, we established a point 10 inches below that as the actual point where President Kennedy would have had a chalk mark on his back or where the wound would have been if the car was 10 inches lower. And we rolled the car then sufficiently forward to reestablish the position that the chalk mark would be in at its last clear shot before going under the tree, based on this 10 inches, and this gave us frame 166 of the Zapruder film.
Mr. Specter. What Commission Exhibit number has been affixed to that?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. This is Commission Exhibit No. 889.
(Commission Exhibit No. 889 was marked for identification.)
Mr. Dulles. Is that 10 inches difference due to the difference in the two cars?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct.
Mr. Dulles. That is the President's—the car the President was in and the car you had to use for this particular test?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct.
