Gerry Down

He was also not present before the JFKA. He left around 12 noon. And presumably told his work colleagues he was leaving. In this sense Givens was not missing. Much like Frankie Kaiser was not missing. They knew where they were, but not Oswald. "Missing" and "not present" can mean two different things. It could be said that after the assassination, all the warehouse men were accounted for except Oswald.

Congrats on the new book Fred. Looking forward to listening to some of your interviews covering it.

According to 10 minutes and 20 seconds in on the below video, Gaudet did not use the tourist card he got. This is the tourist card he got on the same day as Oswald at the Mexican tourist office. I had not heard this before. Is it true Gaudet did not end up using this tourist card at all?

Never heard anyone questioning the towel before.

In studying the Church Committee reports with respect to the JFK assassination, i have realized that Church Committee published items consisted of the following: Report Book 1 Report Book 2 Report Book 3 Report Book 4 Report Book 5 (This is the book relating to the JFK assassination) Report Book 6 Hearings Book 1 Hearings Book 2 Hearings Book 3 Hearings Book 4 Hearings Book 5 Hearings Book 6 Hearings Book 7 However i then came across what is called a "staff report". Does anyone know what these "staff reports" are? I have never heard them being mentioned as being part of the final published reports and hearings by the Church Committee.

I guess Hill could not put his feet on the seat as JFK was sprawled out on the seat so Hill had to contort his legs.

Apparently there were several assassination attempts on Obama. Here's just one of them: https://www.politico.com/story/2011/11/man-charged-with-attempted-assassination-of-obama-068622 Makes me wonder if this new commission will only deal with the JFKA in a peripheral manner.

Good. We can finally get an investigation into the CAA (Connally Assassination Attempt) that has long been neglected. 😀

1964: Warren Report 1979: HSCA Report 1998: ARRB Report 2025: Presidential Commission on Assassination Attempts

It sounds like a new ARRB. Though technically the JFKA was not an assassination attempt, but an actual assassination.

For me the presidential election is just a spectator sport as I won't be voting.

What will he release, the JFK records collection? We need all the files at Langley from the 1960s, not just the JFK records collection. Though they will probably cite national security as to why all CIA files from the 1960s should not be released.

Interesting angle.

Oswald had difficulty buying a washing machine for Marina. From this it always looked to me like LHO was strapped for cash, at least in the fall of 1963. Did he get money before this we don't know about? Did GDM give him money? I don't know. But in the critical timeframe of the JFK assassination, it does not appear he had any extra noticeable cash.

With RFK jr endorsing Trump in return for a job in the White House, it would appear that if Trump wins in Nov there is a realistic chance there could be some serious movement in relation to the release of JFK files. For example, we might get a deeper insight into the Joannides/LHO connection in New Orleans in the summer of 1963. The MFF lawsuit could now become irrelevant.
