Ron Bulman Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Several names I'm familiar with there, top level, and several I'm not. I wonder if under Div D, Security, might Col Edwards have been Sheffield, though I've never seen him called that. Good find.

Yes, quite a few familiar names, but I was not aware of some those names being participants in the CIA's interactions with the Warren Commission.

Matt Allison Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 These doc's apparently originate from the work of Congressman Thomas Downing's office in 1976, which I believe led to the HSCA. This one confirms that David Phillips was involved with the Warren Commission investigation on a daily basis. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2023/104-10096-10109.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Part of why he was so nervous during the HSCA proceedings. Two cigarettes lit at the same time, walking out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was extremely embittered that I was entrusted with the investigation, and he wasn't. Angleton then sandbagged me as quickly as he could." After the W.C.'s Lee Rankin requested copies of CIA cables relating to MC, Angleton's deputy Ray Rocca told Helms that Jim would prefer to 'wait out' the Commission! Why would a senior CIA official want to wait out the investigators of a presidential assassination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would have forced him to confront the fact that something was fishy as it pertained to the way Oswald's internal files were being handled.

Why would a senior CIA official want to wait out the investigators of a presidential assassination? Do not conflate these two separate investigations. The CIA's own internal investigation originally headed by John Whitten is not the same thing as the Warren Commission investigation. Angleton eventually wrestled control of the CIA's internal investigation away from Whiten. The CIA as we're learning had and is still hiding a lot about MC.
