[Bernice Moore]

some documentation from the mary ferrell site...fwtaw..might be of interested to some..take care...b

the released files:

• A transcript of a phone call between President Johnson and FBI Director Hoover from the morning after the assassination, wherein Hoover informed LBJ that Oswald was impersonated in Mexico City. The tape of this phone call has been erased.
• In response to a cable reporting Oswald's call to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City, CIA HQ cabled back false information about Oswald to its own CIA station there. One of the cabling officers said in 1995: "I'm signing off on something I know isn't true," and said this indicated "a keen interest in Oswald held very closely on the need to know basis."
• Acknowledgment by the CIA that at least one defector to the Soviet Union was part of a false defector program.
• Revelations of CIA relationships with many of the "independent" writers on the case, including Priscilla Johnson, Hugh Aynesworth, writers at the Miami Herald, and others. In New Orleans grand jury testimony, Marina Oswald stated that the Secret Service warned her to stay away from Ruth Paine, who was "sympathizing with the CIA. She wrote letters over there..."
• Capt. Will Fritz' contemporaneous notes of an interview with Oswald on Nov 22, in which Oswald provided an alibi for his whereabouts at lunch.
• A contact report from Dr. Burkley's lawyer to the HSCA, saying that his client (JFK's personal physician) had information that "others besides Oswald must have participated."
• Documents showing that the HSCA had tested the Navy camera which was supposed to have taken JFK's autopsy photographs, and it failed the authenticity tests.
• HSCA interviews of autopsy witnesses directly contradicting the depictions of wounds presented by the medical panel; the interviews were suppressed and misrepresented by the HSCA.
• A sworn interview with Saundra Kay Spencer, who developed the JFK autopsy photos, in which she declared that the photos in the Archives are not the ones she developed. Autopsy photographer John Stringer similarly disavowed the supplemental autopsy brain photographs.
• Papers on "Operation Northwoods," a proposed program to initiate real and simulated attacks on the U.S. and blame them on Castro, as a pretext for invading Cuba.
• Plans for the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam drawn up in the spring of 1963.

Lyndon Johnson.The declassification of tapes of Lyndon Johnson's phone calls, along with other documents, provided an explanation for why the Warren Commission might have engaged in a cover-up: to prevent World War III. Johnson continually refers in phone calls to "foreign complications" (allegations of Communist conspiracy, mainly emanating from Mexico City) and that the lives of "40 million Americans" were at stake. He told Senator Russell that he had finally convinced Earl Warren to head the Commission because of "what Hoover told me about a little incident in Mexico City." (audio)
