	The only person who seens to hae put the back wound in the lower

	He never saw the pictures or x-rays, but relied on verbal

	Who said the impulse trains were shots? I've heard both versions
	of the tape, and while I have to admit that the sounds can't
	definately dismissed as something else, I wouldn't say that
	they were definately rifle shots, either. Their source could
	be many other loud, explosive source, eg firecrackers, backifires
	etc.

	There are so many problems wih the tape. Officer McClain, who
	rode the motocycle ID'ed as the one with the open microphone,
	claimed that there was no way that the motorcycle on the tape
	could have been his. He claims that his radion was switched to 
	channel 2. A photo of his mount at Parkland shows the switch
	set to ch 2, and he hasn't said anything about throwing it
	there.  McClain remembers clearly hearing messages coming over
	channel 2 while he was in Dealy Plaza. The House Committee
	explained this away by saying that he heard the radio of 
	the motorcycle next to him; yet if he clearly heard the
	messages, then why weren't they picked up by his stuck open
	microphone and transmitted to the dictaphone machine?

	There are problems with not hearing sirens on the tape (at least
	for a minute or so), yet all of the motorcycle officers are adamant 
	that they switched their sirens on within seconds of the shots.
	Why aren't they heard seconds after the "shots" on channel 1.
