Agreed Frankie, but imo we must keep in mind that this is also the city, through their own neglect that was admitted to after the assassination, that they had allowed such as the right wing groups to get carried away and of such strength within,that they were and did run rampant. they were slow then to see the writing on the wall as a whole, perhaps deliberately by some within office, so they are repeating the same error again deliberately ??, not learning from past history, pretending not to know or see what they are doing is so very wrong, against their own laws let alone the constitution of the country, so they can have the city the way they want it to be, which appears to be in grave error again..........after all that is the impression they give.....this has been and is so very poorly done and in the end, the city and reputation of such, which they pretend to try so hard to protect, is what will, has and does suffer....poorly done by all involved, shame......thanks b

QUOTE.''BTW, the McCloy interview was done in 1967, and aired in June of '67 in Part 4 of "A CBS News Inquiry: The Warren Report", an excellent re-examination of the JFK case by CBS News, featuring many very good interviews and observations, including THIS re-creation of the backyard photos, which debunks one more conspiracy theory about those pictures (the "funny shadows" theory).''

IF it was such as being a public nuisance law that was broken, then why did the first judge and or whomever, find him innocent of all charges....in the past year each time he has appeared in court....??..b

I believe now that Dealey Plaza has become JFK'S Spirit of Place......though it is and imo has been obvious for many years now, that the perpetrators of the lock down of the Plaza are extremely anxious to deter that well known fact, to the millions of visitors that have come and paid their respects..No matter how or what the elite group, whomever pulls the strings, laws, within their grasp, that is what they have been and are very afraid of, as they have realized such, many years ago.....When JFK was murdered and his brains,body fluids and matter flew to the left, and right through the power of force, those particles of JFK became a part of the Plaza, in otherwards they were obsorbed by the matter within the Plaza, it's ground etc.....therefore it became his Spirit of Place, and that can never be undone, no matter how many changes cosmetically they have, and will proceed to do in the future, as so many thousands of visitors have stated, when they visit they feel a bond, a feeling, to some a esp type, a soft sound, whatever one calls it, that he is there, they feel a reverance to the area.....That is what those within the controllers have been and will try to continue to destroy, but no matter how they do so they cannot, he is there, a part of him was left behind, and has become a part of all.....JFK'S Spirit of Place imo,is and has been scaring the hell out of them for nie on 50 years and will continue.....they can never change the fact that that feeling of reverance to the masses brings with it a hint of a holy place or such, and that they cannot abide with, they have and will scoff at such as they have in the past when mentioned, but they cannot change that fact....and that is what they feared it would become and has, for many years now...........imo....take care all.....b

Paul Bentley, 87, Dies; Detective Arrested Oswald FWIW By DENNIS HEVESI Corrections Appended Paul Bentley, the Dallas police detective who helped arrest Lee Harvey Oswald 80 minutes after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Monday at his home in Dallas. He was 87. His death was confirmed by Gary Mack, curator of the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, the exhibit that occupies the floor in the former Texas School Book Depository from which Oswald fired his 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano rifle at the 35th president. When Detective Bentley hurtled over several rows in the Texas Theater that day, Nov. 22, 1963, to get to the slim man pointing a pistol at another police officer, he had no idea that the man was Kennedy’s killer. “At the time of the arrest, I had no knowledge whatsoever that this might possibly be our suspect in regards to the assassination of the president,” Detective Bentley told WFAA-TV in Dallas in a 1963 interview. But he did know that the man might be a suspect in the shooting of Officer J. D. Tippit, who had been killed half an hour earlier when he confronted Oswald on a nearby street some 45 minutes after Kennedy was shot. The assistant manager of a shoe store near the theater, in the Oak Cliff section southwest of downtown, had told the ticket taker that a man acting suspiciously had sneaked into the theater. “The person who saw him suggested that she call the police, because he might be connected to either the shooting of the president or of Officer Tippit,” Mr. Mack said in an interview on Thursday. Detective Bentley was at a police station when reports arrived that someone had fired on the president’s motorcade and, soon afterward, that an officer had been shot. He went to the site of the Tippit shooting, then to the theater. “Bentley and several other officers went up to the balcony,” Mr. Mack said. “Officer Nick McDonald went through the back door, behind the screen, and stood on the stage. The shoe store manager was with him and pointed out the guy who had been acting suspiciously. As McDonald approached, Oswald stood up and said, ‘Well, it’s all over now.’ ” When Officer McDonald came close, Oswald punched him and drew a pistol. Detective Bentley raced down from the balcony. “That’s when I tried to get as close to him as possible, trying to grab the weapon,” he said in an oral history given to the museum in 1994. “I came over the backs of seats,” twisting his right ankle between two of them, and, along with other officers, subdued Oswald. Photographs of Oswald in custody show a cut over his eye. It was caused by the Masonic ring Detective Bentley was wearing during the scuffle, about 20 rows back from the movie screen. Seated in the patrol car to the left of Oswald during the ride downtown, Detective Bentley heard a dispatcher say Oswald was the prime suspect in the Kennedy shooting. “I turned to him, and I said, ‘Did you shoot President Kennedy?’ ” Detective Bentley recalled. “He said, ‘You find out for yourself.’ ” (Detective Bentley's recollection is unsupported by other existing historical records.) Paul Lester Bentley was born in Dallas on June 29, 1921. He served in the Army Air Forces in World War II and joined the Dallas police in 1947. He retired from the department in 1968, then became security director for First National Bank in Dallas. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, the former Mozelle Robertson; a sister, Mildred Waldroop; a son, James; and one grandson. Two days after the Kennedy assassination, while being escorted through the basement of the Dallas city jail, Oswald was shot to death by Jack Ruby. At Ruby’s left at that moment, memorably captured by cameras, was Detective Jim Leavelle, wearing a light-colored Resistol. Clutching Ruby’s right arm, trying to wrench away his pistol, was Detective L. C. Graves — Detective Bentley’s brother-in-law. This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: July 26, 2008 An obituary on Friday about Paul Bentley, a Dallas detective who helped capture the presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, included an incorrect identification from a museum curator, in some editions, for the brand of hat worn two days later by Jim Leavelle, a Dallas police detective photographed escorting Oswald when he was killed. It was a Resistol, not a Stetson. This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: August 6, 2008 An obituary on July 25 about Paul Bentley, the Dallas police detective who helped arrest Lee Harvey Oswald after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, included incorrectly, without qualifying its source, a remark Mr. Bentley remembered hearing after the arrest. Many years later, Mr. Bentley told oral history interviewers that on the road to police headquarters with Oswald, after hearing police dispatchers say the man in custody was a prime suspect in the assassination of Kennedy, he asked Oswald, “Did you shoot President Kennedy?” and that Oswald replied, “You find out for yourself.” Mr. Bentley’s recollection is unsupported by other existing historical records. The obituary also described Mr. Bentley’s role in the arrest imprecisely. Mr. Bentley adjusted the handcuffs after Oswald complained they were too tight; he did not snap the handcuffs on.

Maggie Field developed a series of collages, or "panoplies" as she called them, which juxtaposed conclusions stated in the Warren Report with the evidence found in the raw data of the 26 volumes. Random House agreed to publish this material as a book called The Evidence, but broke the contract. See a sample panoply. "The only thing that I have ever addressed myself to," she once said, "is the guilt of Oswald. And all the evidence shows that Oswald could not have committed" the assassination. http://home.comcast....in/gallery.html Dallas JFK PHOTOS.. http://home.comcast.net/~johnkelin/JFK/field.html

Q. Did you hold it up to your eye and look through the viewer to take the picture? A. Yes. Q. And after you took the picture what did you do after you took the first picture? A. I went into the house and did things I had to attend to. Q. How many pictures did you take? A. I think I took two. Q. When you took the first picture you held it up to your eye? A. Yes; that is what I recall. Q. What did you do next? A. I believe he did something with it and told me to push it again. Q. The first time you pushed it down to take the picture? A. Yes. Q. And the first time, what happened before you took the second picture? A. He changed his pose. Q. What I am getting at is, did you give the camera to him so he would move the film forward or did you do that? A. He did that. Q. So you took the picture and handed the camera to him? A. Yes. Q. What did he do? A. He said, "Once again," and I did it again. Q. So he have you back the camera? A. For the second time; yes. Q. Did he put the rifle down? A. You see, that is the way I remember it. Q. Did he put the rifle down on the ground between-- A. I don't remember. I was so annoyed with all this procedure so the sooner I could get through, the better, so I don't recollect. Q. But you do remember taking the picture? A. Yes; I am the one who took the picture and the weather was right. Q. What did you say? A. Somebody speculated the picture couldn't be taken; the weather was wrong. Q. I am not interested in what people speculated. A. There is nobody to blame for it but me. Q. When you took the first picture and you gave him the camera, did you walk over to him and give him the camera or did he walk over to you? A. I don't remember. Q. Are these the only two pictures you ever took in your life at least up to that time? A. Yes. Q. Have you taken any pictures since then? A. I try at home, to photograph the kids at home with a Poloroid camera. They didn't come out right. Q. When you took the picture did he tell you to hold your hands steady? A. Yes. Q. Did you try to do that? A. Yes. Q. After you took the two pictures-were there just two that you took? A. Yes; as far as I remember. Q. When you say as far as you remember, could there have been more than you took? A. I don't think so. You mean the same day, if that is the only pictures? Q. The same day at the same time you sure you only took two? A. I remember I clicked the thing twice. If it was four times or six times, I don't have any more pictures to prove it. I remember definitely two. Q. Could it have been more than two? A. If it could be more, I would tell you I remember, it was four times or a whole hour. Q. I am asking are you sure it was two or are you not sure, or it was at least two? A. At least two. I am not sure because I do not remember all the details. I remember definitely two and it wasn't clothers changing and another session. Q. What I am getting at is are you sure you didn't take three, for example? A. No; I am not sure. Q. Do you know what he did with the film after these pictures were taken? A. No; I don't. Q. Did there come a time when he showed you photographs? In other words, when he had the film developed and showed you the photographs? A. I really don't remember that. He probably did. Q. You don't remember if he ever showed them to you? A. There is a lot of things I don't remember by now. Q. I am just asking, I am not saying you should or shouldn't remember, I am just trying to clarify what you are saying. Are you saying you don't know if you ever saw these pictures while he was alive and you were with him? A. Right now it is not clear in my memory. I have seen the pictures so many times, I don't know if it was the Warren Commission report, the news media, or I saw them at the apartment. Q. You are not sure when you first saw the pictures? A. I am not sure. Q. Do you know if you ever saw them in his presence, that is Lee Harvey Oswald? A. I do not remember right now. But I did, in the testimony before the warren commission, if I said I did, I did. Q. But do you have any recollection now? A. No; I don't Q. Do you have any recollection of him ever saying anything about these particular poses or the photographs? A. Let me turn back what strikes my memories, George de Mohrenschildt came--I am not trying to confuse you, you know, give you a false statement. I try to get my memory to go. What strikes me, I think I was surprised that he showed pictures to George de Mohrenschildt because I thought the rifle and the gun, first of all I was always against it so, if in my memory I remember being surprised at him showing pictures like that to George, so apparently I saw them at the apartment. Q. You remember him showin the pictures to George? A. Something strikes my memory that how dare he show pictures like that to a friend. Q. Would you think about it for a few moments and tell me if you can remember anything else about him showing either or both of these photographs to George de Mohrenschildt? A. I don't want to cast shadows on somebody that is maybe innocent and comments they maybe did not make. Q. I am not asking you to say anything good or bad about Mr. De Mohrenschildt, just simply tell me if you remember that particular incident, him showing these pictures to George de Mohrenschildt. A. It is so hard to dig in your memory 13 years ago. Q. Take your time. A. I vaguely remember because it still strikes my memory it surprised me that he showed them to him, so apparently it was at the apartment. Q. When he was arrested and you spoke to him at the jail, did he say anything about these photographs? A. No. Q. May I be excused for a second? A. At this time it is approximately 5 minutes after 12, and at the request of Mrs. Porter we will take a break for a few minutes. (A short recess was taken) By Mr. KLEIN: Q. I is now approximately 10 minutes after 12. I didn't speak to you at all during the break, did I? A. No; I didn't see you during the break. Q. You left the room? A. Yes. Q. The same people are present, Clifford Fenton, Mrs, McGrath, myself, and you, you being Marina Oswald Porter. When you took that break I was asking you some questions about these two photographs which we marked JFK exhibit 1 and JFK exhibit 2. I just wanted to clarify one thing. You said that Lee Harvey Oswald was the one who moved the film forward after you took the first picture? A. Yes; I did. Q. Do you recall exactly what happened? You snapped the first picture; did you give him the camera at the point? A. I don't remember. I think I did. I probably did because I don't know what to do with it and he insisted on the second take so he had to do whatever had to be done with the camera. Q. So you didn't. A. I didn't know the procedure to take one picture from the other. Q. So to move it forward, you must have given him the camera; is that right? A. Yes. Q. Do you recall whether you were standing in the same place when you took both of these pictures? A. I think I was. Q. What is the address where these pictures were taken? A. I don't know. Q. Where was it? A. It is in Dallas. I think it is the Oak Leaf area. Q. You were also telling us that you remember that he showed one or both of these photographs to George de Mohrenschildt; is that right? A. I vaguely remember or try to remember. Q. Do you remember anything about that, what was said, who was present? A. I do not remember what was said but I believe George and G-E-A-N-E-A, his wife, were there. Q. What did you say? A. I am trying to clear my memory. I do not remember the details of the conversation, but why I think I remember this incident was I was surprised at him showing these pictures to George. Q. Do you recall anything he said to George when he showed them to him? A. No; I don't. Q. Do you have any knowledge of what happened to the originals of these photographs? A. I assume the Warren Commission or FBI or police have them. Q. Do you have any knowledge of what happened to them after Lee Oswald had them developed? A. What happened to them? Q. What he did with them. A. He probably kept them in his closet where he kept all his junk. Q. Do you know that or are you just guessing? A. I am just guessing because I didn't have them among my things or anywhere around, lying around the living room or bedroom. Q. To your knowledge, were any copies make of these photographs before the assassination? A. No; I don't. I can see the position of his hands are changed. Q. Do you know whether Lee Harvey Oswald might have given a copy of this photograph to anybody? A. I don't know. Q. Did he ever speak to you about these photographs at any time after taking them? A. No. What was there to talk about? Q. And you never had a copy of either of these photographs? A. Apparently they were in the apartment. Q. I am saying did you have the original or a copy of these photographs before the assassination? A. Apparently they were at the apartment. Q. I am saying personally-- A. Me as a memento, no. Q. Did you ever possess a copy of these photographs, have it in your possession? A. For me to keep? Q. Yes. A. Not that I remember. I wasn't that enthused about these pictures. Q. Did you ever write anything on the back of either the original or a copy of one of these photographs? A. No. Q. Did you ever write a note or anything to George de Mohrenschildt on the back of the original or a copy? A. No. Q. Are you sure of that? A. Yes. http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/jfkinfo4/jfk12/marinade.htm

You may be interested in Craig's article.... The Guns of Dealey Plaza by John S. Craig Action on the Roof Oswald's 6.5 Mannlicher-Carcano was not the only weapon seen in Dealey Plaza that day. At1 p.m. Dallas police officers were filmed by Ernest Charles Mentesana removing a rifle from the roof of the Depository. Unlike the Oswald rifle, the rifle Mentesana filmed had no sling, no scope, and protruded at least 7-8 inches past the stock, where Oswald's extended only 4-5 inches. <17> In the film two police officers are standing on a fire escape at the seventh floor of the Depository gesturing to the roof. In the next sequence the rifle is being examined. Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Thayer Waldo watched a group of high-ranking Dallas police officers huddle together for a conference just a few minutes after 1 p.m. on the day of the shooting. When he spoke to a secretary who was privy to the officers' conversations, she told Waldo that police officers had found a rifle on the "roof of the School Book Depository." <18> W. Anthony Marsh believes the rifle shown in the film is very likely a Dallas Police Department Remington 870 shotgun. Marsh notes that the Dallas Police Department used Remington 870 shotguns. One of the officers escorting three men in the railyards after the shooting was carrying a Remington 870 shotgun. footnotes ..... 17. Sibley, Robert.

THEORY: BARKER IN DALLAS ON NOVEMBER 22, 1963? When Michael Canfield visited Dallas in April 1975 he interviewed Seymour Weitzman, who was in a home for aged veterans. Seymour Weitzman had a nervous breakdown in June 1972 - shortly after Watergate. He requested that his doctor, Charles Laburda, be present during the interview. Seymour Weitzman told Michael Canfield he had encountered a Secret Service Agent in the parking lot who produced credentials and told him everything was under control. He described the man as being of medium height, dark hair and wearing a light windbreaker. Michael Canfield showed him photographs of Watergate burglars STURGIS and BARKER, and asked him if either of these men resembled the "Secret Service Agent" he had encountered on November 22, 1963. He pointed to BERNARD BARKER. He told Michael Canfield: "I can't remember for sure, but it looked like him. Couldn't swear it was him though...anyway so many witnesses are dead...two Cubans once forced their way into my house and waited for me when I got home. I had to chase them out with my service revolver...I feared for my life." A recent JFK Records Collection Computer search revealed that one page of a Warren Commission document that dealt with Seymour Weitzman and the tramps was referred to another agency for review. [NARA 180-10095-10367; see 180-10095-10355] When the HSCA attempted to question Seymour Weitzman, Dr. Charles Laburda objected: "Since Mr. Weitzman was treated for emotional illness for many years...information sought from him should be extracted from his testimony and depositions made at that time [1963 to 1964]." [ltr. VA Laburda 6.1.78] Seymour Weitzman, born January 28, 1922, died in July 1985. http://www.ajweberma...2/nodulec19.htm ""Officer Seymour Weitzman, part of the Dallas police search team, later described the discovery of the rifle on the afternoon of November 22. He stated that it had been so well hidden under boxes of books that the officers stumbled over it many times before they found it. Officer Weitzmann, who had an engineering degree and also operated a sporting goods store, was recognized as an authority on weapons. Consequently, Dallas Homicide Chief Will Fritz, who was on the scene, asked him the make of the rifle. Weitzman identified it as a 7.65 Mauser, a highly accurate German-made weapon. Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig was also there and later recalled the word "Mauser" inscribed in the metal of the gun. And Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone executed a sworn affidavit in which he described the rifle as a Mauser. As late as midnight November 22, Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade told the media that the weapon found was a Mauser. … when the smoke cleared and all the law enforcement authorities in Dallas had their stories duly in order, the official position was that the rifle found on the sixth floor of the Depository was the Mannlicher-Carcano, which allegedly was linked to Oswald under an alias, and not the Mauser, which disappeared forever shortly after it reached the hands of Captain Fritz. But even this revision of the official story did not explain the third rifle. A film taken by Dallas Cinema Associates, an independent film company, showed a scene of the Book Depository shortly after the assassination. Police officers on the fire escape were bringing down a rifle from the roof above the sixth floor with the tender care you might give an infant. When the policemen reached the ground, a high-ranking officer held the rifle high for everyone to see. The camera zoomed in for a close-up. Beneath the picture was the legend, "The Assassin’s Rifle." When I saw the film, I noted that this rifle had no sight mounted on it. Thus it could not have been either the Carcano or the vanished Mauser, both of which had sights. I was not surprised to find that this third rifle, like the Mauser, had disappeared. But its existence confirmed my hypothesis that Lee Oswald could not have killed John Kennedy as the American public had been told. Setting aside the evidence of two other weapons on the scene, the incredibly accurate shooting of an incredibly inaccurate rifle within an impossible time frame was merely the beginning of the feat we were asked to believe Oswald had accomplished."" Jim Garrison, On the Trail of the Assassins, pp. 113 - 115) B From a post made on Rich's forum... A British Enfield .303 was reported found by NBC.There was a video on the web that is long gone now, showing the report being given...about the Enfield... Both the Mauser and the Enfield were far superior sniper weapons. Just FYI Myron DelaBeckwith killed Medgar Evers with a British Enfield. No connection to the JFK case, but the discovery of weapons like the Mauser and the British Enfield indicates the possible presence of professional snipers

Marina's letter re documents...from Jack... Below is the text of a letter that Marina Porter wrote to the ARRD in April of 1996. I am sure she must have had assistance in writing the letter. Anyone know who (if anyone) was working with her on this? Marina Oswald Porter's Letter, April 1996 Mr. John Tunheim, Chairman JFK Assassination Records Review Board 600 E Street, NW, Second Floor Washington, DC 20530 Dear Mr. Tunheim: I am writing to you regarding the release of still classified documents related to the assassination of President Kennedy, and to my former husband, Lee Harvey Oswald. Specifically, I am writing to ask about documents I have learned of from a recent book and from a story in the Washington Post by the authors of the same book (as well as other documents they have described to me). The book reviews Dallas police, FBI, and CIA files released since 1992, and places them in the context of previously known information. I would like to know what the Review Board is doing to obtain the following: 1. The Dallas field office and headquarters FBI reports on the arrests of Donnell D. Whitter and Lawrence R. Miller in Dallas on November 18, 1963 with a carload of stolen U.S. army weapons. I believe that Lee Oswald was the FBI informant who made these arrests possible. I would also like to know what your board has done to obtain the reports of t he U.S. Marshal and the U.S. Army on the same arrests, and the burglary these men were suspected of. 2. the records of the FBI interrogations of John Franklin Elrod, John Forrester Gedney and Harold Doyle (the latter men were previously known as two of the "three tramps") in the Dallas jail November 22-24, 1963. All of these men have stated that they were interrogated during that time by the FBI. 3. The official explanation of why the arrest records for Mr. Elrod, Mr. Gedney, and Mr. Doyle, as well as for Daniel Wayne Douglas and Gus Abrams were placed "under federal seal" in the Dallas Police Records Division for 26 years as described by Dallas City Archives supervisor Laura McGhee to the FBI in 1992. 4. The FULL records of the interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald, including his interrogation in the presence of John Franklin Elrod as described by Elrod in an FBI report dated August 11, 1964. 5. The reports of army intelligence agent Ed J. Coyle on his investigation of Captain George Nonte, John Thomas Masen, Donnell D. Whitter, Lawrence R. Miller, and/or Jack Ruby. I am also requesting that you obtain agent Coyle's reports as army liaison for presidential protection on November 22, 1963 (as described by Coyle's commanding officer Col. Robert Jones in sworn testimony to the House Select Committee on Assassinations). If the army does not immediately produce these documents, they should be required to produce agent Coyle to explain what happened to his reports. 6. Secret Service reports and tapes of that agency's investigation of Father Walter Machann and Silvia Odio in 1963-64. 7. Reports of the FBI investigation of Cuban exiles in Dallas, to include known but still classified documents on Fermin de Goicochea Sanchez, Father Walter Machann and the Dallas Catholic Cuban Relocation Committee. These would include informant files for Father Machann and/or reports of interviews of Father Machann by Dallas FBI agent W.Heitman. 8. The full particulars and original of the teletype received by Mr. William Walter in the New Orleans FBI office on the morn-ing of November 17, 1963, warning of a possible assassination attempt on President Kennedy in Dallas. I now believe that my former husband met with the Dallas FBI on November 16, 1963, and provided informant information on which this teletype was based. 9. A full report of Lee Harvey Oswald's visit to the Dallas FBI office on November 16, 1963. 10. A full account of FBI agent James P. Hosty's claim (in his recent book, ASSIGNMENT: OSWALD) that Lee Harvey Oswald knew of a planned "paramilitary invasion of Cuba" by "a group of right wing Cuban exiles in outlying areas of New Orleans.' We now know that such an invasion was indeed planned by a Cuban group operating on CIA payroll in Miami, New Orleans, and Dallas--the same group infiltrated by Lee Oswald. We know this information ONLY from documents released since 1992, as described in the book I have mentioned. On what basis did agent Hosty believe Lee "had learned" of these plans, unless Lee himself told him this? I am therefore specifically requesting the release of the informant report that Lee Oswald provided to agent Hosty and/or other FBI personnel on this intelligence information. The time for the Review Board to obtain and release the most important documents related to the assassination of President Kennedy is running out. At the time of the assassination of this great president whom I loved, I was misled by the "evidence" presented to me by government authorities and I assisted in the conviction of Lee Harvey Oswald as the assassin. From the new information now available, I am now convinced that he was an FBI informant and believe that he did not kill President Kennedy. it is time for Americans to know their full history. On this day when I and all Americans are grieving for the victims of Oklahoma City, I am also thinking of my children and grandchildren, and of all American children, when I insist that your board give the highest priority to the release of the documents I have listed. this is the duty you were charged with by law. Anything else is unacceptable--not just to me, but to all patriotic Americans.< Please be advised that this is an open letter, and I intend to make it available to anyone who wishes to see it. The time for secrecy in government is over. I ask that you respond to me in writing within two weeks, and will take no further action until then. Thank you for your attention to my requests. Sincerely, /s/ Marina Porter Could be anyone...but I would guess the late Mary Ferrell. Jack
