Mr. Frazier. That missed everything; yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Is there any way of correlating the time of the shot with the position of the car so as to know whether possibly the first shot was fired before the car was out from the tree and it might have hit a branch of the tree and be deflected so it didn't hit the car? If he had fired too soon. I guess it is impossible.
Mr. Frazier. It is possible, I don't have any evidence to support it one way or the other.
Mr. Dulles. Yes.
Mr. Frazier. As to whether or not a limb of the tree may have deflected one shot. However, I think it should be remembered that the frame 207 is just as he exits under the tree; from there to frame 225 to where the President shows a reaction is only a matter of 1 second. He is under the tree in frames 166 until frame 207, which is about 2 seconds. So somewhere in that 3-second interval there may have been a shot—which deflected from a limb or for some other reason and was never discovered.
Representative Ford. Mr. Chairman, may I return to questions that I was asking Mr. Frazier?
Mr. McCloy. Yes.
Representative Ford. Again making those same assumptions we made a moment ago, is there any evidence that a third shot hit the car or any occupant of the car?
Mr. Frazier. Assuming all those assumptions we had before; no. I would say that, and again I have not the technical evidence to back this up one way or the other but you make these assumptions and I would say under those conditions only two shots hit the occupants of the car because the one through the President had to cause Connally's wound otherwise it would have struck somewhere else in the car and it did not strike somewhere else.
Therefore, it had to go through Governor Connally.
