That’s 1327B I learnt from another thread about 1327C. How many 1327s are there? And where the official transcripts are?

Thanks. I’ll listen to it, then.

Thanks David. I didn’t know you had KXOL. Any exclusive audio of KXOL or are they just broadcasted stuff from other media organizations?

Thanks for your responses. The digitizing should have been done decades ago. At one point in the 80s they started transferring the audio on micro cassettes. They gave up on the project. They don't even have micro cassette readers!

A few weeks ago I emailed NARA inquiring about the possibility of having them digitizing their JFK audio collection which is available only on 70s audio cassettes and 1963 reels. They replied that they intend to digitize this year their RG #272 collection which includes the audio reels of various live broadcasts of Dallas and Fort Worth-area radio stations that probably none of us ever heard. Right now you have to either order them which is costly or go to NARA and copy them yourself or pray that someone will post what they have in their private collection. In Washington in 2018 I was able to listen to one of them, briefly, but my time was up on this Friday late afternoon. What I saw listed were WRR, KIXL, KSKY, KVIL, and KXOL. "Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding audio recordings that you have obtained from the National Archives related to the JFK assassination. As you may be aware, these recordings exist in a variety of different Record Groups, and their quality levels can vary widely depending on the source, format, conditions of the original recordings, and circumstances surrounding the capture of the original recordings” ”We do have on our Branch's work plan for this fiscal year an intention to digitize the audio recordings of the Warren Commission collection (NARA RG # 272), but outside of that we do not have current plans to systematically digitize other JFK audio collections. " They asked me if there any audio outside RG272 that I consider worth a digitizing. I replied that the HSCA interviews of Frazier and Lovelady would certainly be worth it. This is what I was able to obtain from a different source. I uploaded it on my YouTube website. You will see what broadcasts they have while you watch the video.

I have not hear anything of that sort in the tape that I have. There are few times when I could not understand what was discussed, so it is possible that it is on the tape.

The “Right temple” is a bit further but Welsh had already run out of film.

Another from Mack: "Since 1967 when that story appeared, the fate of the tapes has been learned, at least to my satisfaction. Despite Perry's testimony, there were no tapes. A Fort Worth Star-telegram photographer shot more than 25 pictures of the press conference and there were no microphones in the room. I haven't seen the pictures in a few years, but there was no tv camera present and very few reporters. None of them had microphones and there were none on the table behind which Perry and Clark stood. Once I saw the pictures, everything made sense. The tv and radio reporters had spread out to Love Field, Dealey Plaza and the Dallas Police station leaving probably only print reporters behind. They, of course, did not use recorders in those days. In all likelihood, Clark remembered seeing a few cameras and assumed they had microphones. In fact, I know from first person interviews that there were very few 16mm sound cameras in use at the local tv stations in those days. In addition, I have seen and heard all but one of the surviving television and radio station tape and no one carried the press conference live or recorded it for playback later that day or weekend. The simple answer is that no tapes were ever made. The New York producer assumed tapes should exist and was puzzled when none turned up."

From Gary Mack: While the absence of any recordings of the 2:18pm Perry-Clark pressconference is disappointing, there is information that explains why. First, as David recalled, I learned there were NO live cameras in that room. Here's why: 1) KRLD's two remote cameras were still at the Trade Mart as late as 1:35pm, when technicians started the long process of packing it all up and moving over to Parkland. This would have taken at least an hour. One camera was put in place in time for Dr. Robert Shaw's conference, which started around 3:30pm (that time is off the top of my head, but it was quite some time AFTER Perry & Clark finished.) 2) WFAA's cameras and remote truck were enroute back to the studio after having been in place at Love Field for the 11:35am landing and live broadcast. Their plans were originally to provide live pool coverage of JFK's return flight. At some point, their truck was sent to Parkland and had just arrived in time to catch the hearse with JFK leaving for Love Field. The other camera, I recall from some other source, was still being unloaded to bring inside the hospital. It would be virtually impossible to have it set up and available until at least 2:30-2:45 or later. They may very well have been waiting for Clark-Perry to finish to get into the room. 3) WBAP's remote truck sat in east Fort Worth at the side of the turnpike (now I-30) with a blown engine and no back up. Eventually, it was towed to Dallas City Hall and sat on Commerce Street the rest of the weekend. 4) KTVT, which offered its remote truck to WBAP in exchange for permission to carry NBC programming (the station was an independent in those days and had only a small news department), headed to Parkland from east Fort Worth, arriving just before 2pm. Their only live camera was poking up through the truck's roof and was turned on and recording as they arrived. Just a few minutes later, the hearse left the hospital with JFK and that scene was recorded. Again, it would have taken 30-45 minutes or more to get that camera moved out of the truck, into the hospital and set up. In short, none of the stations had video equipment in place to capture the press conference. As for tv new film cameras, there is a series of still photographs taken by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram of the Perry-Clark conference. The one in Lifton's book was taken early in that sequence. Many of the 30-40 images were shot from the back of the room and show a large, relatively empty classroom with only a few reporters present. Not one microphone or news film photographer are anywhere to be seen! What this means is that, despite Dr. Malcolm Perry's later explanation to the Warren Commission that there were microphones present, no recordings were made and only a handful of reporters covered it. This may not make sense to everyone, but tv news was equipment-challenged in those days. The best example is that of WBAP, then and now the NBC affiliate (today known as KXAS), which was far and away the #1 station in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth market in 1963. TV sound film cameras were cumbersome and generally not used for "spot" (breaking) news stories. So little use was made of sound in those days that the station only owned two sound cameras - one was assigned to the Fort Worth office and one to Dallas. The Dallas camera that day was held by the station's Bob Welch, who filmed the only sound record of Malcolm Kilduff's announcement of JFK's death at 1:30. Bob then left the hospital and headed to downtown Dallas where there was more important news to cover. I do not know much about the other stations, other than WFAA had a silent camera there, but it only caught a few seconds of Perry's entrance into the room, suggesting that the photographer may have been sent by the station to another location and was, therefore, absent when the pictures were taken. As for the radio stations, the photographs show no microphones or audio tape machines in the room. I have heard original and first-generation copies of the radio station tapes, some of which have been in private hands, and there was no live radio broadcast on either KLIF, WFAA, KRLD, KBOX, WBAP, or any other major station, with the possible exception of WRR. Their tapes, or copies, are at the National Archives, but since indexes exist and there's no mention of such a broadcast, perhaps WRR wasn't there. The station was, and remains, owned by the city of Dallas (a highly unusual situation) and did not have much of a news department at all. So what does all this mean? I have to think, with some first-hand understanding of the business in those days, that only minimal coverage was done. Those kinds of stories are generally routine in nature and can be covered by the newer reporters or the wire services. The big story was what was happening at the TSBD, in Oak Cliff and at the police station, so that's where most reporters went. Others went to Love Field and were there from about 1:45 or 2pm until nearly 3pm. With breaking stories happening in four different parts of the city, Parkland was left virtually unattended. -- Gary Mack Archivist The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

Thanks, David. Gary Mack said that Bob WELSH filmed this conference with sound, but ran out of film right after he said, "... A bullet right through the head".

As far as I know, this is the first time it is available online, incredibly. I've received it today under the recommendation of Reuel Smith. I uploaded it on my website. Of special interest: Q "Can you say where the bullet entered his head, Mac? Mr Kilduff "It is my understanding it entered in the temple, the right temple." http://jfkassassinationfiles.com/Parkland_Press_1327BTranscript.pdf

Add Patrick Dean. Beverly Oliver says she saw him on the grassy knoll after the shooting.

“The FBI also informed the Commission that the newsman had stated that most of the tape was not recorded in Dealey Plaza at the time of the assassination“ So the newsman says that some was recorded in Dealey Plaza. Wow. What part then was recorded in DP?

I don’t why Leroy humiliated himself with his videos.

I uploaded a part of this interview:

I’m not disagreeing on the 4 ladies in the Z-film. In the second photo in the 6FM photo you will see the ladies about to leave the building. Carol Reed is wearing a white coat like one of the ladies in the Z film. And is Calvery holding her scarf in her hands? Same color as in the Z-film?

Maybe a Lovelady double? 🤔😁

He would be the first president with a mug shot. A creepy sicko.

Just saw your post! I do not know how close. I lifted the sequence showing the doorway off Groden’s DVD. The complete film is available for viewing at the 6FM’s Research Room. Must be nice to see! I’m retiring in 11 years at which time I’ll have all the time in the world to visit places that have unique research material.

It is hard to believe that is not Lovelady with the man thought to be Shelley. The shirt, the haircut, even the bald spot on the head. Come on.

Always nice to see known people we have noticed in images. http://postimg.cc/fJ1xVGZW

It used to be more obvious like "Curator's notes". Now it is "Label text" on the bottom of the page. This is what I get for one of the images: Color photographic print of six women who worked for the South-Western Publishing Company on the second floor of the Texas School Book Depository. This photo was taken in December 1963, shortly before Christmas. Karen Westbrook, who was a stenographer with South-Western Publishing in 1963-1964, identified the women as follows: From left to right in this photo: Gloria Calvery (red hair, with glasses), Carol (last name unknown), another Carol (last name unknown), Karen Westbrook, Karen Hicks in red, and on the far right, a woman whose name is unknown.

For each photo there is a description.

Karen W. is the tallest one. She has big black buttons on her coat. Her coat has black on each side and her hairstyle is similar to the one in the photo you posted. The lady in red would be Karen Hicks. The one in dark blue and white would be Carol Reed. The one in an orange dress is identified as “Carol” by Westbrook. There is a Carol named Mrs. John L. (Carol) Hughes who was in the TSBD during the shooting and stayed there. She was 27.
