William F. Pepper

I have entered an appearance on behalf of Sirhan.

You may be interested to know that "Tommy the Cork's" old law firm (bearing his name) is alive and well and a son is still quite active in that shop. I do not know about their ongoing lobbying business but they are quite close to the NSC and the unitary/imperial presidency crowd. In your list of players in the network, some are vastly more important than others. You have serious policy makers (even Bilderberg participants) alongside "mechanics." I would have confidence in Morganthau's opinion about TC. You should know that McCloy (CMB) was at Murchison's house on the evening of 11 /'21/63 along with J.Edgar Hoover, Nixon, H.L. Hunt, Cabel, George Brown, others in the 8F group, and eventually LBJ., whose mistress became a dear friend of mine, and who was also there. She also, along with other Ruby girls saw Oswald and Ruby together on various occasions. The deed was confirmed between 10 and 10:30 PM in M's study. A closer more personal account is contained in Barr McClellan's book in which he also claims to have made a fingerprint match from the Book Depository nest of a shooter other than Oswald, who was contracted by LBJ's Clark law firm. Anyway keep on the historical framework and context. It is important.

I believe that the communication is genuine. It was provided to us by a grunt member of the sniper team who lives in the wilds and has neither the skills or the technology available to produce such a cablegram. He, at his level, would also not be privy to the code and acronym references it contains. Also, he asked for no money for this document. Hundreds of names have come up but there is only one Raul and we know who he is and where he lives. I drive by his house whenever I am in the area. Remember this guy was picked out of a photo spread by a number of unrelated people who saw the Raul who handled James, and James himself identified him in 1978 and he never identified anyone else. He confirmed the identification to me in the 1990's.When we went after him the government sent agents into his house, wired it up and coached the family on how to answer the phone. Imagine the feds providing all this attention to a retired auto worker. JEH was always in the thick of this dirty business, but usually as the clean up or cover up guy. That was the function of the Bureau and the relevant field offices. I believe that we have identified the individuals and the structure of the King assassination. RFK, who I also knew quite well, is another matter with respect to nuance and detail but, I suspect, not very different forces of wealth and power behind the scenes.
