Mr. Specter. Did you have any opportunity to observe the President's clothes?

Dr. Akin. I noticed them.

Mr. Specter. With respect to examining the shirt, for example, to see what light that would shed, if any, on the trajectory of the bullet?

Dr. Akin. No; I didn't. The front of the chest was uncovered, the pants had been loosened and lowered below the iliac crest, and the only article of clothing I noticed in particular was his back corset.

Mr. Specter. What did you observe with respect to the back corset which you just mentioned?

Dr. Akin. It had been loosened and was just lying loose.

Mr. Specter. Can you describe the corset, indicating how wide it was?

Dr. Akin. The only portion I saw was the front portion of the corset and it was about, I'd say, 5 or 6 inches in width, and made out of some white heavy fabric with the usual straps and buckles.

Mr. Specter. Did you notice any Ace bandage strapping the President's buttocks area?

Dr. Akin. No.
