Ron Ecker Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 10. 2:15 P AG CLD MCNAMARA MAXWELL TAYLOR'S OFFICE OK McNamara took no call in Taylor's office, according to McNamara's own account. He had no contact with Taylor at all until informed that JFK was dead. In his book In Retrospect (pp. 89-90), McNamara says he was called out of a budget meeting with three associates "about 2:00 PM" to take an urgent call "alone in my office" from the AG, telling him JFK had been shot. Incredibly, McNamara says that he went back to the meeting and they continued to talk about the budget. He got a second call from the AG "about forty-five minutes later" informing him that JFK was dead. At that point McNamara claims to have gotten off his sorry butt to go meet with the joint chiefs, as this was a "time of crisis" (the shooting of the president apparently not being a time of crisis unless or until it was known to be fatal). In sum, McNamara, by his own account, was kept completely in the dark by everyone at the Pentagon about the shooting in Dallas. All his information came from an outside source, Robert Kennedy.

Steven Gaal Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Robert, Is this a list of those telephone conversations that were recorded? Do we have the recordings and transcripts? BK I would be very curious as to what was the topic of Harriman's call. SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Howard Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) When I transcribed the document, I did not see anything that indicated whether these calls were recorded, or, whether there are transcripts of them. I would imagine that somewhere, perhaps in the ARRB's Final Report, or the HSCA Final Report, that information is contained, but that is purely speculative on my part. By the way, although it should probably be posted somewhere else, those familiar with James Angleton may be familiar with the obituary below. Taken form the Arlington National Cemetery website. William W. "Buffalo Bill" Quinn, 92, a retired Army lieutenant general who was an intelligence officer in Europe in World War II and a frequently decorated regimental commander in the Korean War, died September 11, 2000 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He had congestive heart failure. General Quinn's peacetime career included a period as director of public information of the Army in Washington. In other assignments, he headed the Army section of the U.S. military advisory mission in Greece in the 1950s and served as deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in the early 1960s. He later commanded an infantry division. In his last post he was commanding general of the U.S. 7th Army in Germany. He retired from active duty in 1966. He made his mark as a staff officer in World War II. In March 1944, after serving as a divisional and corps intelligence officer in North Africa and Italy, he was named intelligence officer of the 7th Army. Although he held the relatively junior rank of lieutenant colonel, he was responsible for gathering and coordinating information for the invasion of southern France on August 15, 1944, that was carried out by U.S. and French troops. Four months later, he gave timely warning of a desperate German offensive near Colmar in northeastern France. For this, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. At the end of the war, General Quinn played a role in Washington in the transformation of the Office of Strategic Services, the wartime spy agency, into the Central Intelligence Agency. In late 1945, he was named director of the Strategic Services Unit, which had been set up to preserve OSS intelligence assets. In July 1946, he was named chief of operations of the Central Intelligence Group. He remained in that job until 1947, when the organization became the CIA. Director of Central Intelligence George J. Tenet issued a statement after learning of General Quinn's death, hailing him as "a leader and visionary" who played an important role in maintaining the nation's intelligence capability between the end of World War II and the onset of the Cold War. In 1997, General Quinn was awarded the Agency Seal Medallion. When the Korean War began in 1950, General Quinn, by then a full colonel, was serving on the staff of General Douglas MacArthur in Tokyo. General Quinn was put in charge of intelligence for the amphibious assault at Inchon. The attack, carried out by Marines and joined by Army troops two days later, turned the tide of battle in the first phase of the war. He then served as intelligence officer of the X Corps. In January 1951, he was given command of the 17th Infantry Regiment. The unit had just received a new radio call sign--"Buffalo"--and he decided to call his troops "The Buffaloes." He also started a publicity campaign aimed at hometown newspapers. Two newspaper correspondents gave him the nickname "Buffalo Bill," and it stuck for the rest of his life. "Almost overnight, the Buffaloes became famous," wrote Clay Blair in "The Forgotten War," a history of the Korean War. "Hundreds of GIs requested a transfer to the outfit; some, General Quinn boasted, even went AWOL to join." Over the next eight months, General Quinn was awarded the Silver Star, for personally reorganizing a stalled attack, and the Bronze Star with combat "V," for leading a patrol eight miles into enemy territory. Other decorations included the Legion of Merit and Purple Heart. In September 1951, he returned to the United States. In 1953, he went to Greece for two years with the Joint Military Aid Group. His later assignments were in this country and Germany. He was director of public information from 1959 to 1961, and deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 1961 to 1964, when he took command of the 7th Army in Germany. William Wilson Quinn, who was born in Crisfield, Maryland, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1933 and was commissioned in the infantry. He also graduated from the Army Command and General Staff College and the National War College. After retiring from the Army, he was a vice president of the Aerospace Group of the Martin Marietta Corporation until 1972. He then established Quinn Associates, a consulting firm. General Quinn, a resident of Arlington, was honorary colonel of the 17th Infantry, a consultant to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, a trustee of the National Historical Intelligence Museum and a member of the Army & Navy and Chevy Chase clubs and the Talbot County (Maryland) Historical Society. Robert: It might be worth zeroing in on the section above, wherein it states "In 1953, he went to Greece for two years with the Joint Military Aid Group. His later assignments were in this country and Germany. He was director of public information from 1959 to 1961, and deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 1961 to 1964, when he took command of the 7th Army in Germany." The reason that is noteworthy is due to the fact that there has been an interest in the "Greek desk at the Pentagon," by some forum members, Jim Root for one. See The Strange Case Of Edwin Walker http://www.beyondwei...ies/walker.html Even more important is Dick Russell's segment on Major General Quinn. See page 142 The Man Who Knew Too Much. [2003] To be posted here soon. If you have this book, I assure you the passage tends to leap off the page, but that is just my opinion. I have spent the last year researching ONI, the Army Signal Corp, NSA with particular attention devoted to William Friedman, Solomon Kullback and Abraham Sinkov. Somone once said the Oswald/Mexico City area was the Rosetta Stone of the assassination, I believe William Hurt and the attempted communication with Lee Harvey Oswald on November 23, 1963 is actually the real Rosetta Stone. Again, I have to stress that the genealogical area, in my estimation, is a woefully underresearched area of the assassination, with the exception of work by Jim Root, Tom Scully and Linda Minor. Apologies to any others I have left out. Why do I mention this. Because Harrod George Miller who worked with Friedman et al in the 1930's, and afterwards was at Fort Monmouth, NJ is a person, of whom more information concerning his military history is essential, in my opinion. Genealogy, has a way of yielding hitherto unknown factual information, including next of kin. I could give you a short list of Miller's, that might make this area more interesting than one might think it is already, although some might not find this area interesting at all. Even though it is second hand information, an esteemed member of the Forum mentioned he heard that there was the possibility, that Harrod Miller's death was mysterious. I believe it is imperative to find out the details of Major Harrod George Miller's death, it is strongly possible that his widow Jean "Jeanie" Nelson was buried in Irving, Texas, but so far I have not been able to confirm this. I do however, recognize a black hole when I see one. Got newspaperarchive.com? Edited June 10, 2010 by Robert Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
