Yes, thank you Kathy and in turn Vince.  I don't remember ever seeing this.  It is great.  

In particular I found interesting Craig states again the gun found was a Mauser, in some detail.  After having backed off that claim at one point.  Lane produces the Weitzman (emphatic) report from 11/23/63, never seen by the WC, in support of Craigs statement.  He then produces, was it one or two CIA documents stating the rifle found was a Mauser.  I don't remember ever hearing/reading about these.  Can anyone else provide more information on them?

This is worth re watching, taking a few notes.

Thanks for bumping this thread as well Kathy.  I want to go back an read the whole thing.    

Mauser: Craig in this video added the Mauser stamp detail. He did not mention that crucial point in his 1971 manuscript. The Weitzman report was seen and published by the WC. The WC members did not see all the reports, but their staff members did. The CIA document: Who wrote it? And was the author on the 6th floor on 11/22 or did he just read newspapers? What is his source? The author also states that a Selective card was found, which is untrue. Selective cards don't have a photo,  it was an obvious fake.

Hi Jean Paul. That memo is a well-known fake (probably discussed in other threads).

Craig says that a Mauser was found on the sixth floor of the TSBD.

But in 1968, in an interview with the L.A. Free Press, Craig  is quoted as saying:

"But there was another rifle, a Mauser, found up on the roof of the depository, that afternoon".

How many Mausers were there?

Free Press article:

The Mauser on the roof mistake comes from Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Thayor Waldo. He apologized to the WC for it. Other than what he saw and heard that day, I don't think Craig was much informed on the works of the WC.

I was going through the Belgian newspapers published from 11/22/63 on.

It took them over a week before they mentioned Manlicher-Carcano, until that they had called it pretty much everything, from a "Britisch Enfield" to "some Austrian rifle"....  They were pretty fast on all the other stuff, but the rifle caused one hell of a confusion.   Now, I must admit seeing Weitzman's affidavit (the handwritten and typed version) clearly stating Mauser does make a man think what's going on here... After 11/22 the word "certain" was erased from dictionnaries....

Lane says in the video about the above (in short) : recently discovered / upon FOIA request / in CIA files / documents dated 11/25/1963 and 11/28/1963.  

But the documents show no signature, nothing on from/to,... (at least the parts I can see), so I don't know what to make of it...
