Larry Hancock Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I just wanted to let everyone know that we have been able to gain Jefferson Morley as a speaker for this year's conference. He will be doing a presentation on the CIA and the Kennedy assassination. Mr. Morley is a world news editor for WashingtonPost.com and does a weekly World Opinion Roundup column. He is known for his research on the CIA's obfuscation with both the Warren Commission and the HSCA; he has also focused his attention on Oswald in Mexico City and to Oswalds contacts with the DRE. We are very pleased to add Jeff as one of our conference speakers and Debra has also asked me to announce that she is holding the early bird conference fee open to the end of this month so you still have time to register and get the lower fee. Just go to: http://www.jfklancer.com/dallas04/index.html -- I hope to see many of you in Dallas next month, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I wish I could make Dallas, Larry, that presentation sounds exciting. Any sneek previews regarding Oswald's contacts with the DRE? I'm an eternal optimist, what can I say? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Hancock Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 James, I think a Morley/JFK search will show you some background on this but as I understand it much of the question comes from the fact that we know that the DRE was very involved with Oswald in NO - from the scuffle to the radio debate and they were supporting the preparation of a good deal of propaganda material against Castro and the FPCC based around Oswald. DRE was amont the first responders after Dallas to jump in with a comprehensive Castro was behind Oswald story, in both NO and Miami. Now the DRE was one of the exile groups courted at length by the CIA not for their operations use but because of their great intel links into Cuba, they maintained some of the best contacts going and CIA wanted that intel. So they had a CIA case officer and there should be extensive DRE files. As it turns out their case officer worked with the HSCA, never mentioning his assigment of course nor anything he might have seen in DRE files about the Oswald contacts. We are beginning to see large amounts of documents on various exile groups and there should be some files for the summer and fall of 63 showing us their take on Oswald, nothing like that has yet turned up. I know Jeff is still doing field and NARA research on the subject but that's all I know; at the moment it looks like one of Peter Dale Scotts classic "holes", you look for what should be there and when it's gone you have a clue you may be going in an important direction. ....Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Richards Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Thanks, Larry. I'll Google around and check it out. Speaking of the DRE, has Carlos Bringuier ever been a conference presenter or has he ever worked closely with anyone who has? Here's Carlos below flipping off Oswald.

Larry Hancock Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 James, a few years ago Carlos B. began selling certain items online and since that point I know several researchers who have chatted with him on line and one who went to the effort of going down and meeting with him. The net result is that Carlos sticks 100% to his remarks about Oswald and Castro sponsorship and that is all anybody is going to get from him. Having him at a conference would net you the same story that is in print in many places....it might be interesting to some to meet him as a witness to Oswald but I don't think it would contribute anything to research per se. However I don't know of anyone who has ever offered him an invitation. On the other hand if the DRE DIA memo files were to come to light they could possibly go a long way to resolving the whole question of the initial contact with Oswald and the exile reaction to him. It's pretty hard to belive that they would not report a suspicious new contact or talk about the leafletting or street encounter. -- Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
