Mr. Specter. And was Governor Connally's stand-in seated in the position where the point of exit would have been below the right nipple at the approximate point described by Governor Connally's doctors?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct.
Senator Cooper. May I ask a couple of questions?
Am I correct in assuming that you have made these determinations about the degree of the angle of the trajectory of the bullet at the time the President was struck, locating the position of the President in the car on the one hand, and the location of the rifle at the time the shots were fired?

Senator Cooper. You had to establish the position of the President at the time the bullet struck him and the position of the rifle to make a determination about the degree of the angle of the direction?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. That is correct. The positions in the car, their positions in the car, were based on the Zapruder film.
Senator Cooper. And you were able to determine what you think very accurately the position of the President in the car by the films that you have examined?
