The Commission asked the Bureau to examine the three photographs, Commission Exhibit No. 1797, Gerald L. Hill Exhibit A, Gerald L. Hill Exhibit B, in order to determine whether the shirt worn by Lee Harvey Oswald in these photographs was in fact the same shirt which has heretofore been designated as Commission Exhibit No. 150.
Is that correct, Mr. Shaneyfelt? Did you perform the examination in connection with this request by the Commission?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes; I did.
Mr. Redlich. In connection with that examination, the FBI furnished to the Commission an additional photograph of Lee Harvey Oswald. Would you please describe that photograph in relation to any of the other photographs that we have furnished to the Bureau?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes.
Mr. Redlich. I would like to add that the photograph which the Bureau furnished to the Commission has been designated as Commission Exhibit No. 1796.
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Commission Exhibit No. 1796 was furnished to the FBI by the photographer who took the picture that has been designated as Commission Exhibit No. 1797. The photographer stated that the photograph, Commission Exhibit No. 1796, was taken seconds before the photograph which is Commission Exhibit No. 1797.
Mr. Redlich. On the basis of the photographs in your possession, which you examined, would you please describe the nature of your investigation and the conclusions which you reached?
Mr. Shaneyfelt. Yes. I compared the shirt which is Commission Exhibit No. 150 with the shirt being worn by Oswald in Commission Exhibit No. 1796, and Commission Exhibit No. 1797.
(Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 24 was marked and introduced.)
