t \~. ~
 wherein we had furnished information to members of Cong}"ess'. ,se\{~tor
Henning subsequently advised the Bureau that Fensterwald 's requests ' tp
the Bureau had been improper. Over the past.four years we have had
considerable contact with Bernard Fensterwald as Chief Counsel of the
United states Senate Committee on· the Judiciary; Subcommittee on Adminis- ·
trative Practice and Procedure (the Loni'Co~mittee). In these contacts-·
with Fensterwald it was clearly evident4'J:\e,,was
# $. ,,_ .unscrupulous,
,.., untrustworthy
and anti-FBI. He frequently endeavored
. to draw
~ ,. .·
the FBI into .
conflicts .
around the
. country by his requests of various ...,_..._ ,...telephone . companies and
. other sources who might possibly have inforJ:IlatiQ.)l of wiretaps and other
technical surveillances by the FBI. · In January, 1966, in connection. with
Fensterwald's hearings in San Francisco he indicated that ex-Agent William
Turner would be one of the. witnesses he intended to call in connection with
the extent of FBI wiretapping. Mr. DeLoach briefed Fensterwald and
Senator Long who was pre'sent
~~ ~'
at the time of the. discussion with Fensterwald
as.to Turner's unsavory Backgrorn:rl. Fensterwald indicated he would take
a second look at Turner in .~ew'of ......the- .information furnished - by Mr. DeLoach.

1 Mr. Rosenthal said it is very interesting to knm". that
; Fensterwald, who is Long's Chief Counsel, and Fred Graham are boyhood
friends from Tennessee and are very friendly now. Obviously, Graham
is getting all his information from Fensterwald, who has been pushing
Senator Long on this matter.

ACTION:

For infor.mation.
? .
-ADDENDUM: CDD:mel 12-18-65

Insofar as the newspaper inquiries are concerned, we will

continue to "no comment" any inquiries received concerning the above mentioned
matter. Obviously the "heat" on this matter is building up again at.the present
time because of Graham and his known enmity towards the FBI. It is not
believed that it is necessary to fly to Missouri and face Long at this time. We
know that the Department is taking. positive steps to kill off the law suit against .
our personnel in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it is felt that if the Department is .
successful in this regard there will be less "heat" insofar as Senato:r: Long's
Committee is concerned. A summary memorandum will be submitted' to the .
Director no later than Tuesday, 12-21-65 regarding the exact status of the

Isituation with Senator Long at the present time and recommendations for· ·
handling this matter with him immediately following the first of the year when
he returns to Washington. , ~ dR'-

LAS VEGAS CASE STUDIED BY SENATOR

LONG OF MISSOURI
BY Fred P. Graham
Special to the New York Times
Washington, D. C., 12/16/65
. J~/ .
Senator Edward V. Long of Missquri said today that he was
considering turnilg his wire tap investigation against the Federal Bureau of -·.-.
Investigation. ·

Mr. Long, a Democrat, said he would decide early next month

v,:hether to hold public hearings concerning what he called wholesale wire
tapping by the FBI in Las Vegas, Nevada, that his investigators had been
informed about. If so, it would be a new turn in the five-month old investi'gation
that has already shaken the Internal Revenue Service with testimony about
violations of taxpayers' privacy in several cities.

Almost all of the violations were conii.ected with the. Government's

organized crime drive against suspected racketeers.

It was the hearing involving the Revenue Service that turned up

testimony about illegal eaves-dropping by .the Federal Bureau of Investigation
in Las Vegas, Miami and Kansas City.

When evidence of wire tapping by the Federal Bureau's Agents_

first cropped up in the hearings,Senator Long seemed reluctant to discuss them:.
But in hearings in Kansas City last October he asked several witnesses if they
knew about FBI activities. He did not call the Agents to ieS::ify.

. ~ .
The wire tapping by Federal Agents in Las Vegas has come to
public attention in a series of legal moves since it was accidently discovered
in April, 1963. \
'
· Last Friday the FBI Agent in Charge of the Las Vegas Division,
Dean W. Eslon and three of his Special Agents were named in a .$6 million
invasion - Of - privacyl-~.Jll.~.l'.. suit filed by two ~otel executivESin Las Vegas.
One suit was filed by Everett Levinson, part owner of the Fremont Hotel in
Las Vegas who once was a business associate of Robert G.Baker, secretary
to the Senate Democratic Majority. He sued the four Agents, the Central
Telephone Company and six of its employees for conspiracy to place wire tap
de:vices in his quarters in the hotel.

A similiar suit was brought by his assistant Johnny Grandy.

'~~
The suits charged that the Federal Bureau had leased 25 special

. On May 14, cailed. He is the U:-dividual I

ta_lked to abou~ a reque~t from the Senate Committe_e on Constitutional Gondy
Rights for a list of all instances where we had furrushed information or had not
---1
furnished information to Members of Congress. On that occasion I also talked
to Tom Hennings who, in Fensterwald' s presence, stated the request was
improper. He apologized and stated his office was to work in the closest of
harmony with the Bureau and he was very profuse in expressions ·of personal
friendship. Since that time, Fensterwald has gone out of his way to trj to be
helpful. · · ·

When he called on the 14th, Fensterwald stated the Senator had

been asked to introduce legislation to block the deportation of Pierre LaFitte.
The Senator wanted Fensterwald to check with us b€fore giving it consideration.
I told Fensterwald that this,· of course, was a matter for Immigration Service
and on a purely personal and confidential basis the Senator should be exceeding~y ..

I
cautious before he got out on a limb; that if he inquired into LaFitte' s background;'
ne would find an extensive record; and that under no circumstances would the
Bureau support LaFitte. I told him that officially, of course, we could not take
a position but that, personally, we would hate to see some friend embarrassed
and he should be very cautious. Fensterwald stated that was en0ugh for him.

2. William Turner and Fred J. Cook are well known to you.

Paris Flammonde appears in the January 1969 issue of Evergreen
as the author of an article entitled "Why President Kennedy Was Killed".
His book The Kennedy Conspiracy has been published by Meredith
Press, New York. The dust cover of the book states that Flarn.monde
was for many years the producer of the Long John Nebel radio show.
We have no record of him.

24 August 1956, subject: Blanche Fensterwald, also known as: Mrs.
Bernard Fensterwald. W~ sh~';;g~-;;_t~fui'iJ" you can determine
whether the Bernard Fensterwald who appears in this report is identical
with the 4 7 year old Bernard Fensterwald cited in the UPI dispatch.

Mr. Richard Helms, Director

Langley, Virginia·

Daar Mr. Helms:

··on January 4, 1971, the C.I.A. declassified a document,

· signed by you in March of 1964, and addressed to Mr. J •
.. Lee Rank.in, counsel to the President's Commission on the
Death of President John F. Kennedy. The rec~ntly ·.declassi-
fied document, the date of which is difficult to read, is
identified as Commission No. 674; a copy is attached for
r purposes of identification.

You will note a reference in paragraph 2 of the document

to .. photographs of an unidentified man who visited the
Cuban and Soviet Embassies in (Mexico] City during October
and November 1963." In paragraph 4, you . informed the Com-
mission :that Mr. Willens or Mr. stern could view the "pho-
tographs of unidentified man that are in our file."

Having conducted an extensive investigation into the murder

of President Kennedy, we feel that we might be able to
identify the man in the photographs. Being aware of the
requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, we enclose
our check for $20.00 to cover the cost of making copies of
the photographs. If there is a greater charge, please in-
form us, as we are desirous of obtaining the photographs·
without delay.

i SUBJECT : Kennedy Assassination - Warren

Commission Report

I. This memorandum is for your information.

\

2. The attached letter is Bernard Fensterwald's request

for photographs in connection with the Warren Commission Report.
You will recall that one photograph of the unidentified man in
Mexico City is in the open record and the now unclassified papers
pertaining to it speak of photographs. Under these circurr_stances,
I took the position that we could not withstand a request premised
on the Freedom of In.formation Act, and '. readily agreed .
to make available other photographs of the same man for Mi-.
Fensterwald's i~spection.

3. Mr. Fensterwald ·came to my office this morning with

his partner, William G. Ohlhausen, looked at th.e other photo-
graphs, and told us he did know who the man was. He said he is
presently serving a prison term somewhere in the United States
and admitted that he had known Oswald, but Mr. Fensterwald
said there was nothing to indicate any connection between the man
in the photographs and the assassination of President Kennedy.
Mr. Fensterw ald did not give us the man's name at this time, as
he said enough people had suffered unneces sarilr from allegations
that they were associated with the assassination, but he did say ·
he was sure we had a file on the man. He asked if he could have

the photographs, and I asked how he would use them. He said

he did not know and finally agreed that for the time being he
would not press his request. I then returned their check for
$20. 00. The whole meeting was extremely friendly and they
thanked us for our response.

from the names they gave as being of interest to them, they
appeared to be following down some of the. same old t~acks ·
that the FBI had thoroughly investigate_d and found to be

stir the pot in due course. . .

SUBJECT Interview With Bernard Fensterwald, · Jr.

,. Re: Photo Of Unknown Man In Oswald Case

Larry Houston, General' Counsel , invited me to join him in

an inte:i:view this morning with Mr . Fen~; terwald regarding the un-
known man who v..ras photographed by us in Mexico City during the
per i od Oswald was in Mexico (see attached letter). We met
Fensterwald at 8 :45 a. m. in Mr. Houston's office. Fens.terwald
was accompanied by his law partner William C. Ohlhausen. We
showed them the three pictures in the attached envelope.

Mr. Fenst~rwald said he knew who the person was and had
spoken to him; that the man was too nervous .to c9me forth on his

- own. Fensterwald would n ot give the person's name but said he is

a n American, s _e rving a prison term in this country on a criminal
charge, and that he had met Oswald in Mex ico. I asked whether the
prisoner had any conspiratorial relationship with Oswald. Fensterwald
replied he did not know the answer as he had not interviewed the man
as yet. We rei~ erated that we did not know who the man was, anc:I said
that we would lik e to know his identity ~ Fensterwald replied that CIA
has a thick file on the unknown man, and that we will be furnished his
name i n due cou r s e. He asked w hy w e didn't have a picture of Oswald
· since it w as w ell known w e were photographing the embassies from
_acro s s the stre et. W e replied t:fiat we knew of no pictures tha t we;e
taken of Oswald i nMex ico City and that Fensterwald would have to

take our word on this as well as our explanatio~ of the circum-

stances surrounding the photo of the unknown man.
'
I

!
We told him that Mr. Helms had issued instructions to
cooperate fully with the Warren Commission; that members of
the Commission visited CIA and were shown everything we had.
Fenstenvald seemed impressed by this and said that he doubted
that the American people were aware of this fact. He raised a
question about the 4 October date of the photo since Os,v:ald al-
ready had left Mexico. I explained that Oswald was not under in-
vestigation when he was in Mexico, and we did not learn about his
departure date and many other details until the exhaustive FBI in-
vestigation following the assassination. I also explained the reason
for the two affidavits of Mr. Helms. I told him that the Commission
was trying to disprove the -allegation by Oswald's mother that the .
man in the picture was Jack Ruby; that at first it asked for a de-

I tailed affidavit which was furnished, and then decided that the
broader one, used in the public record, would suffice. Fensterwald

I
said it was obvious that the picture was neither Oswald nor Ruby.

Fensterwald mentioned that he recently had been to Califor-

nia where he visited former Commission attorney Wesley J.
Liebeler (source of Epstein's book "Inquest") and that Liebeler
would like to see tbe case reopened. I noted that both Epstein and
Mark Lane (Rush to Judgement) used false dates when referring to
our turnover of t.he photo to the FBI. Fensterwald indicated that he
has done considerable investigation in .co·nnection with the assassina-
tion of President Kennedy and would like to see a congressional
hearing to bring out the full facts.

Fensterwald asked if he could have a copy of the picture

taken in front of the full wall. We declined on th!! grounds that it
never was used by the Commission nor placed in the public record;
that the Commission attorneys examined it and settled for what they
I con.sidered a better picture. After examintng the three photos~
Fensterwald said he saw no reason for the cropping initially since
.I one couldn't recognize the background. I replied that the person

who furnished the photo to the FBI didn 1 t want to take any chances.
He then said that he had no need fo~ the pictures anyway and thanked
.I us for cooperating with him.
·I Fensterwald did a little fishing about our classifieci exhibits
I in National Archives. We told him that they were being withheld to
.1 protect intelligence sources and methods - - not because of any
inc rim inatt n g contents; that some of the ex..lJ.ibits bearing different
numbers are int errelated, giving a misleading impression that
there are more exhibits than is the case.

Fensterwald is confident that he and his colleagues will come

up with the true solution to the Oswald case and discredit the Warren
Commission. On the basis of the few ideas he advanced, this is
strictly wishful thinking. One thing is clear, however, we apparently
have not heard the end of the unknown man.

Central Intelligence Agency

I Washington, D.C. 20505

Dear sir:

I a."11 111riting to forwally request that certain records pertai.ninq ·

to the "debriefing" of Lee Harvey Oswald by or on behalf of the
Central Intelligence Agency after his return from tl1e U.S.S.R.
in 1962 be made avail2ble to'me under the provisions of the Free-
dom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. §552) and 32 Fed: Reg_ 10759
dated Ju1y 21, 1967.

The records I seek are those indicating the date and ho-Jrs of
I Mr. Osw·ald's debriefing, and the city and street address of the
building in which the debriefing took place. If there are no
r physical rec_ords of the debriefing / please inform me whether
reco~ds ever existed and provide the requested information by
letter.

I am not asking for the names of i)f ficials who par'ticinated in

J:<ir. Oswald's session, nor am I asking for the subs'tantive content
of such interviews. If necessary, this material should be ex-
punged before making the records available.
i
!,. I have taken note that Mr. Helms. acknowledged before the A.-neri-
can Society of Newspaper Editors meeting in New York City on
April 14, 1971 that " ••• if there is a chance that a private
citizen travelling abroad has acquired foreign information that
ca...-i be useful to the Ai-nerican policymaker, we ar·e certainly goL-iq
to try to interview him." (New York Times, April 15, 1971, p.30)
.,l
Mr. Oswald would appear to ·be one who your agency \·muld have .had ·
an interest in debriefing.

classified to protect the source and method of acquisition.
I, Nevertheless, a full disclosure was made to the President's
I
j Commission charged v1ith investigating the assassination of
President Kennedy, subject to that classification.

For your inform~tion, we still do not know the· identity

of the man in the photograph. In the intense effort to produce
everything that might possibly have some bearing on the assas-
sination of President Kennedy, the p·hotograph was furnished
1 to the Federal Bureau of Investigation on 22 Novembe.r 1963.
It was thought at that time that he might have had some associa-
tion with Oswald, since both were in the area. around the same
time. As it turned out, the photograph was taken on 4 October
1963, one day after Oswald left Me..xico and returned to Dallas
(Commission Report, p. 323 ). Oswald was not under investiga-
tion by us when he was in Mexico, and we did not l,earn about
his departure date and many other details until the.. exhaustive
FBI in,1estigatio:n. :following the assassination.

At no time did we have any indication of an association.

between Oswald and the unidentified man, other than the a.bove-
mentioned speculation. You asserted last year that you knew
and had spoken to the person in tlie picture. If you have any
information concerning tl-.1.is man which may h.i.v·e an.y beariD..g

I appreci<::te your pro::npt reply of 18 February to my letter 0£

February 11, and for the moment I accept your explanation 0£
why it is not feasible at tbis time to release the· _uncropped
original of the photograph which constituted Odum Exhibit l to
the Warren Commission.
)
However, you did not respond to that portion of my inquiry con-
cerning "additional photographs of the same individual "tak2n
under other circumstances." Knowing the extent to which infor-
mation is compartmentalized within the CIA and between such
agencies as yours and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, i t
._._..,,.. occurs to me that you may not be awar~ of the existence and
import of Commission Document 566 (an FBI Report declassified.
by the Department of Justice on. 1/14/71), which sheds some ad-
ditional light on the individual depicted in Odum Exhibit ~ and
Commission Exhibit 237. !

-Enclosed is a copy of the first five pages of Commission Docu-
ment 566. The bulk of this document, in my opinion, has no
releva.c-ice to the assassination. However., the passage marked on
pages 3 and 4 persuade me to believe that the FBI, i£ not the
CIA, was in possession of at least three different photographs
of the individual depicted in Odum E:ishibi t 1, which photographS
appear to have been taken under two different sets of circum-
stances. Item 3 on page 4 of CD 566 seems unquestionably to
describe the photograph from which Odum Exhibit 1 was prepared,
With no i11di.catlo11 _of: c.l:'opplng or trimming. Moreover, those

I 1have bee n unable to find any indication that the fact of the

The possibility occurs to me that some or all . of these photographs

its discretion, chose to furnish to the CIA and the Warren Com-
I mission only the item correspondirgto Odum Exhibit l, thus account-

You have suggested in your letter that I furnish any information I

GUTIERREZ i·;as again shown a photograph ot: I.EE Hi\.RVV..: !
OSWALD which had appeared in 11 Life" magaz1.ne and Nhich dep1.cts j
OS\-!f\LD passing out pro- Cub;:m literature on a street in New !
Orleans, Louisiana. It is to be noted that this is a pro:file i
photograph of OSH/\LD sh01·rinQ; 'his rit:ht. arm extended and i
depicts his torso :from the i-1aist up. '

GUTIERREZ, on February 20:, 1964, stated that the

11
Life 11 magazine photograph of' OSl'lALD does not appear :familiar
·.to him and that he cannot say that this photograph in any
way resembles the American seen by.him in the company of: a
Cuban exiting the premises of the Cuban Elr,bassy 1.n r,Iex:Lco, .
D. F., on October 1, 1963. GUTIERREZ was told that this 1;lioto-:
graph is a photograph_ of LEE HARVEY OSWALD and he thereupon ·
stated that during his brief encounter with the -Arner·:l..can and
the Cuban on October 1, 1963, he at no time observed the
profiie view o:f either the .American or the Cuban.· He explaix1ed;
that when the Cuban bumped into him in the patio o:f the Cuban '
· .Einbassy (the details of' wr.icll he has previously reported), he ,
had only a brief ·oppo:i;-tunity to observe these persons f:rom a ·;
:front view and thereai'ter he wal1(ed behind these individuals .,
·and could only observ€) their baclw.
I

GUTI~RREZ
agreed that a mist&keri ident:l.ficat:l.on f'ro:n
ne1·1Spaper photographs :o:r OSl·TALD which he saw almost ti·10 months .
··.,Ij later 1·1ould be very pqss:l..ble. He pointed out, however, that he~
does not believe he is mistaken in his ident1:f1cation o:f OS\"JALD:
because the image of the American he observed during the ;
. ·'','
occurrence at the Cuban Embassy in Mex:Lco C:Lty on October 1,
1963, became firmly fixed :Ln his mind because o:f the importance
he attached to his observance that the Cuban and the f\mer:l..can ·
were arguing heatedly and that the Cuban passed some United · . ;i
states 9urrency to the American ai'ter these ind:Lviquals had . ;
exited the Cuban Embassy premises and were wa;J.ldng along the ''
pidewalk toward the Cuban's vehicle.
I . :!

Dear Bud: 'I
I have your letter of February 24th with which you !'
i ..
.' forwarded a declassified FBI report identified as the first
I five pages 'of Commission Docurrient 566. I was not previously
L.- familiar with the document and its reference to photographs .
l do not know at this point whether we can shed any light in
this area, but I will be "back to you in due time.

The comment in: my letter of February 18th about furnish-

ing information to the appropriate governmental agency ar'ose
from your statement in your letter of February 11th that the .
significan.ce of the individual in the picture has greatly increas.ed.
. Since your letter was in the context of the Warren Commission .
proceedings, I assumed it had some pertinence there. Since"we
were merely in the position of furnishing inforz:nation to the
Warren Commission, we would not be the proper agency t<;> take"
cognizance of such information, and since, as_ I said in. my
February 18th letter·, we have no information about the man
pictured in Odum Exhibit 1, we would not appear to have any
interest whatsoever in the ~atter. If there is ariy Government
interest at all, it would appear to be a matter for the Department
of Justice. As you have the information, you with your broad ·
·governmental experience would be the best judge of this.

Your letter of the eighteenth of February is somewhat perlexing.'
The conclusion that records of Oswald's debriefing do not exist now is
apparently based upon sta;:ements of persons other than yourself.

The letter and spirit of the Freedom of Information Act and the
applicable regulations require that you respond to iny request on your
own authority. Accordingly, I ask that you 1) make the records available;·
._;
or 2) state' the exemption provision of 5 u. s. c.' 552 'under which you '
clair:i privilege; or 3) state' that the records do not exist and never did
exis>:, if that is the fact.

You can understand that I am in no position to appeal your decisi".a ..

in admiillstrative channels and ill the courts until I know exac;;ly what;
... ·. ..

·] of a cons p iratorial relationshi p be t wee n t h e Soviets and
Oswald either throu gh our coverage of t h e EmhassV' or
outside 1 11eetin~s. He specifically referred to ~oviet
consular officials Pavel Antonovich Yatskov and Valeriv
Vladirairovich Kostikov, one or hath of ,.! hom . os~·:al<1 •
contacted at the Soviet Embassy. ( Both Yatskov and .Kos tikov
were identified in t he Commission's Report as consular
of ficiRl s and KGB representative's.) I told him that CIA
did not hav~ Oswald under inves tigation when he was in
Mexico City; directed his attention to the pertinent
exhibit; nnd explained that the KGB affiliations of the
two Soviets were suuplied bv CIA e.xuerts who were aware
of their activities· ~nd not' by anything said or indicated
· b y Oswald i.n the evidence comni led by us. · ~!r. I chord
examined the exhibit, noted that Os'.vald 1 s ef-F'oM's
only related to securing visas; indicated that he had been
misinformed; and said that he had no further questions to.
ask on this point.

:) . fie said that his question Has s·r>arked by Bernard

fensterwald, Jr. a former constituent, about whom he
knew very little when he requested the documents. Since
then he has learned of Fensten~· ald's dubious credentials
as an expert on the assassination and of his association
wi th Jim Garrisson and others of qu est iona~le repute.
I de tailed our m·;n difficulties \'d th Fensterwald: his
ins istence that we are hiding somethin g , and how, as
Executive Director of the Committee to Investigate

CI:-\'s rpn.tcrial, sanitizing exhibits, as neccss8.ry· to

Drotect our so11rces and methods.

7_ I mentione~ in passing, that two other things

beyond 01ir control have contribute cl to the raisconcep ti ons
over Ol<r exhibits: A) The inadvertent release by i~ational
Archiv0s of the master list of numbered exhibits shortly
aft.er r..r-~·.:o demise of t11e Presic1ent 1 s Con1missio11 1:ri t:1ot1t

B) tI1e -fact t11at many exhibits b8ar different ntunbers

there are more exhibits than is the case. r;1e release
of the master list without the accom 0 anying documents

I caused much apprehension and misinterpretation, particularly

among assassination "buffs" and Ac;ency critics. I cited ·.·.
I the "Oswald and the U-2" entry •.vhich was v:idely exploited.
until Ne cieclassified the doc'ument a couple of years ago ..

j 8. 'Ir. Ichord asked if any CIA members servecc.on

the President's Commission. I said no, but mentioned that
II former DCI Aller.. Dulles was on the Commission. HE then
turned to the makeuu of the Commission staff an.d ho\" i t
I was chosen. I replied that we were not really competent
to comment on how it 1·1as chosen but the staff consisted
largely of attorneys of varied political and ethnical
backgrounds from widely separated parts of the country;
that, from my observatioi:, the Commission was impressively
organized and a highly motivated, hard ·.-:or},ing group.

9. rlr. Ichord stated that he had no further questions

to ask and thanked us for easing his mind. ;•!e offered to
produce any other documents he might »Tish. to see. Mr. Ichord·
replied that this would not be necessary. He returned our
exhibits and told us to consider the matter closed.

Congre ssman Ichord, Chairman of the House Committee on

recommend as follows:

Connsel, accompanied by a case officer familiar \vi.th this matter,

that they are either the same photographs or copies

2. This Agencyyrould not object to the release to

~r6pped out \"Vhich vie understand is the form L--i \vl-.. ich
1

they were shown to Gutierrez. The cropping shocld,

of course 1 be don.e in such·· a manner that it is permanent·
and cannot be removed to reveal the backgroU:nd.

3. We cannot specifically certify that the photographs

furnished for display to Gutierrez were copies made
:f~or:--. . those photographs \vhlch were· made a,railable to
the ~egc.l J':._ttc.ch.e on ~ovember 22-231 1963, bu.t from
the i..."1.£o::m2-tion available \Ve are reas~nably sure that
they are either. the same pl:lotographs or copies thereof_

4. This Agency will object to the release to

Fenster\vald of copies of the uncropped photogro_p}.s
obtained from our' Station on November 22-
23, 1963.

5. T}J..e security classificatio:Ll. of the photographs is

SECRET.

6.- The reasor:. why this Agency w.ould obJect to the

release of the uncropped photographs is that they would

l
reveal intelligence sources and methods which by statute
the Director of Central Intellige;,,ce is responsible for
protecting from unauthorized disclosure (section 102(d)(3)
of the National Security Act of 1947, as amended}. Pursuant
to that statutory requirement, the photographs were clas-
sified in accordance with Executive Order 10501, and this
classification is continued pursuant to the provisions of
Executive Orde~ 11652. , Spe.cifically, sec;tion. l(J?) of ..
Executive Order 11652 refers to information'which requires
a substantial deg:-ee of p::;:-otection· and among th~ examples
is the revelation of intelligence· operations. ~-_Furthermore,
this r:naterial was assigned to Group 1 under Executive
Order 10501 and is, therefore, excluded from the General
Declassification Schedule of Executive. Order 11652. i l

Dear Larry,

If your memory hasn-ct failed worse than mine in our aging process, you will recall
a meeting regarding an unidentified man characterized as a "possible white male
sus]ect" in the J :fK case.

Following a suggestion from you, I sought from the FBI two additional photographs
of the 'same man which were taken in Mexico City. Ultimately .. we got the photos;
copies are enclosed.

At your convenience, we would appreciate a meeting with you and your assassination
expert (who was present at our last meeting). If possible, I would like to bring Fletcher
Prouty, Robert: Smith, and Jim Lesar. If, for security reasons, it would be easier to
meet in my office, we would like very much to have you and your colleague t9 lm1ch.
Hopefully, your secretary and mine can arrange a convenient time and place

With warm reg~ds ..

~~

: '•
of a new National Committee to Inv_estigate Assassinations. According to
' ;I.. Bernard Fensterwald, 47, of Arlington, Virginia;· a board member, the·... ·..

... . According to"Fensterwald, the committee will concentrate on the assassina-
tions of President Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther
King. In addition to Fensterwald, other members were ic!entified as Jim · -.~:.
Garrison, New Orleans District Attorney; V/illiam Turner, former FBI ·. ·_
Agent; Fred J. Cook, author; Richard Sprague, Hartsciale, New YorkJ .'•" '.·~' ·
:
a computer expert; Lloyd Tupling, associated with the Sierra Club, " . ,
Washington, D. C.; and Paris Flammonde, a New York writer who is, :., .
· the .author of a book on assassinations, which is soon to be released. ; ,.•• .: ·

·The Director has asked for a memorandum on FensterwalC,

Sprag,ue, Tupling and Flammoncie. - · _·/ . · ·
·. . .

"Bernard Fens·cerwald: Fenste::.-wald was born on August 2, 1921, at Nashville,

Tennessee. He received the B. S. degree from Harvard College in 1942
., and the LL. B. degree from Harvard Law School in 1949. He received the
M.A. degree in 1950 from the School of Advanced International Studie;:;, : .

FeEsterwald was the subject of applicant-type bquiries con-

ciucted by the Bureau in 1949 and 1959. Vlhile generally fa.vorable, t.'-:e naines
of !v'.i:r. Fensterwalcl's mottler and sister appeared on a list oi delegates and

._ Soviet Union in June, 1956, for a three-week vac2.tion visit. ..t~t that time,
Fenstc:rwalci was employed as a lawyer by the United States Department of State.

whereh1 we haC: furnished information to members of Congress. Senator".-··.

Henning subsequently aG.vised the Bureau that Fensterwald 's requests to
tile Bureau had been improper. Over the past four years we have had
considerable contact with Bernard ·Fensterwald as· Chief Counsel of the
United Sta.tes Senate Committee on the Judiciary; Subcommit.tee on Adminis-
trative Practice and Procedure (the Long Committee). In these contacts
with Fensterwalci it was clearly evident he was unscrupulous, untrustworthy
.. ,.· and anti-FBI. He frequently endeavored to draw the FBI into conflicts
around the country by his requests of various telephone companies and .,,_.
other sou:c-ces who niight possibly have information of wL:·Gta~)S and other
technical sm:veillances by the FBI. In January, 1966, in connection with
;F'ensterwald's hearings in San Francisco he indicated that ex-Agent William
Turner would be one of the witnesses he intended to call in connection with .
the _extent of FBI wlretapping. Mr. De Loach oriefed Fensterwald and
Senator Long who was present at the time of the discussion with Fensterwald
as to Turne:c-'s unsavory background.. Fenste:c-wald indicatec he would take
·a second look at Turner in view of the information furnished by Mr. DeLoach.
(Turner is ·reportedly another board member of the assassL'1ation committee)

"The Natioi1" magazine in December, 1965, carried an article

by Fred J. Cook dealing with wiretapping by Government agencies, including
the FBI. It was obvious Cook, a longtime FBI critic, had obtained the
information for his artide from Fensterwald whom he quote.:l several times.
Typic:o:.l of many of Fensterwald's utterances in connection with his assignment
as Chief Counsel of Senator Long's committee was th.e statement, in "The
Nation" magazine a:·ticle, "The thing that has impressed me most is the ease
with which Federal agents can lie under oath. "

·· .. · .
Iv1r. DGLoach maintained close oersonal liaison with Senator .
Long concerning the work of thG FBI as it might pertain to inquiries conducted
by his committee?. On occasions letters directed to the ·FBI re~uGsting certain
information w;;re handled orally by Mr. DeLoach with SGnato:c- Long who
indicated fuat Fenste1·wald had prepared the lettGrs. One such instance was
in DGcemb2r, 1937, in co::mection with FBI contacts wifo credit udons. On
that occasion, Senator Long stated we sho:.Ud ig11ore the letter and he would
instruct Fensterwald to "keep hands off" the F:o::.. On 1;'.-,2 same occasion .

C T I A NEWSLETTER
COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE ASSASSINATIONS
1520 16th Street, N.W., Suite 101
Washington, D.C. 20036
(202) 232-1152

Fall, 1973

This Newsletter has been l ong overdue and for that we

apologize and make no excuses .

Our committee had its latest Board of Directors meeting

in Washington on August 15th and at that time a number of
decisions were made. Probably the one of greatest interest
was the ratification of plans for a two ~ay conference on
November 23rd and 24th. The Conference will be held at
Georgetown University and presented jointly by our committee
and the University. Although the affair comes on the 10th
Anniversary of JFK's murder, the conference wil l also cover
the RFK, King, and Wallace shootings. We expect to attract
as speakers and panelists a large number of experts repre-
senting diverse views on the several cases. Among other
things we expect to have special discussions on the following
subjects: medical evidence , physical evidence, new investi-
gative techniques, l egal aspects, conspiracy theories generally,
and new books and movies.

As the number of those who can attend the conference is

limited by the size of the auditorium, admission will be by
registration on a first come, first served basis. If you
wish to assure yourself of admittance, there is enclosed a
registration blank for your convenience. The arrangements
for the Conference are being made by Ms. Andrea Wyatt.
Questions can be addressed to her c/o CTIA, 1520 16th Street,
N.W., Suite 101, Washington, D. c. 20036.

The committee is also tr y ing to arrange for the produc-

tion of a documentary film which would be, in effect, a
critique of Dal las, ten years later. we are unfortunately
running into problems of both finance and film rights. The
movie project i s in the hands of a young New Yorker, Bob
Galdston, who i s a ·musician and record producer.
Page Three

"Q. Mr. President, you recently suggested that

if the late Robert Kennedy had initiated 10 more
wiretaps, he would have been able to discover the
Oswald plan, as you described it , and thereby pre-
sumably prevent the assassination of President
Kennedy."

"A. Let me correct you, sir. I want to be

sure that the assumption is correct. I said if 10
more wiretaps could have found the conspiracy .
uh, if it was a conspiracy, or the individual, then
it would have been worth it."

The President's uncertainty on the matter has not been

further elaborated .

Another recent development appeared in the July issue

of Penthouse Magazine. Writer George O'Toole, applying a
new type of purported lie detection device (PSE) to the
recorded statements of various warren commission witnesses,
has found what he believes to be a pattern of deception
consistent with the view that Oswald was framed. O'Toole
has since carried his research much further and will report
his findings in a book which will be pub l ished late this year
or early in 1974.

A movie has been made out of Mark Lane's and Don Freed's
book Executive Action, starring Burt Lancaster and Robert
Ryan. The flick is part fact and part fiction. rt is due
for rel~ase in November; possibly its premier will be held
in Washington on November 22nd, though its producers are
hoping to have it open in Dallas.

~-F-K.

Sirhan Sirhan has acquired a new lawyer, Roger Hanson,

of Los Angeles. Hanson has achieved considerable recognition
for his efforts to re- open the infamous Kirschke Case. He
believe~ that if he is successful in that case (and we be-
lieve he will be) , then he can get a n~w trial for Sirhan.
He would have at least three major thi~gs going for him:
Page Five

There are also particular Watergate effects. For

example, E. Howard Hunt's rn~w book on the Bay of Pigs
emphasizes the zeal with which the author advocated Castro's
assassination coincidentally with the 1961 invasion. The
name Frank Sturgis (or Frank Fiorini, etc.) rings a familiar
bell; Sturgis apparently once claimed that he had encountered
Oswald in Miami, stimulating an investigation by the FBI
which produced three lengthy documents in the warren Com-
mission's files. Arid then there is Arthur Bremer; many people
wonder whether he was financed and directed at an early stage
of his career by any White House "agents."

Even Chappaquiddick has drawn the attention of Ervin

and cox, and a lawsuit has been filed against the "plumbers"
by one of Mary Jo Kopechne's roommates. And so on.

*****
The Committee is still basically unfunded. We have
enough for rent, telephone and postage, but that's about
all. If any of you can spare a few dollars you can be
assured that they will be put to good use. Four contribution
blanks are enclosed; please distribute them to interested
persons. If you can spare more than a few dollars, we might
even be able to afford to hire a trained investigator to
follow some of the myriad leads .smoldering away in our files.

We hope to see you in November.

a series of other criminal acts including burglarizing homes,

offices, and erribassies? What about Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin

of Robert Kennedy, and James E<'Lr 1 Ray, the killer of Martin Luther

King, and Arthur Bremer, the man who shot. George Wallace? Did

Hunt or Liddy or his strange Cuban contacts, did any or all of

them know any of these people? If so, how and how well? Under

normal circumstances, and in more normal times, these questions

would not be asked. Unfortunately for us all, circumstances are

fai from normal. These are not normal times. Among people on

the street, among people far removed from the elite strata of

politics and with no stake or arribi ti on in partisan politic al

machinations, the questions are there, wandering the backroads of

their minds. Especially about the assassination of President

Kennedy. Doubts. long have nagged. The warren commission con-

eluded on the basis of evidence and testimony available at the

time that Oswald and probably Oswald alone fired at President

Kennedy. No conspiracy was the conclusion. Please pardon the

personal reference, but it seems advisable in this instance to note

that this reporter was in Dallas when Kennedy was shot, followed

closely th.e warren investigation, and conducted for CBS News and

with CBS Newp' full resources an independent investigation. Then

and ever since, this reporter had defended the warren Commission

and.its conclusions. However, it occurred at the time, to this

,Another part of the reason is fear -- fear of opening further

all those old doubts and suspicions. But fear of the truth is not

an American trait. Perhaps it isn't time to re-open the case of

the Kennedy assassination, or any of the others in any formal

way. It may be, however, that someone, somewhere in authority

already is asking quietly, investigatively, some of the tough

questions about characters such as Hunt and Liddy and their Cuban

contacts and whether they had at any time any connection with

Oswald, Sirhan, Ray, or Bremer.

C T I A NEWSLETTER
COMMITIEE TO INVESTIGATE ASSASSINATIONS
1520 16th Street, N .W., Suite 101
Washington , D.C. 20036
(202) 232-1152

Fall, 1 9 73

This Newsletter has been long overdue and for that we

apologize and make no excuses .

Our committee had its latest Board of Directors meeting

in Washington on August 15th and at that time a number of
decisions were made. Probably the one of greatest int eres t
was the ratification of plans for a two day conference on
November 23rd and 24th _ The conference wi ll be he l d at
Georgetown University and presented jointly by our Committee
and the University. Although the affair comes on the 1 0th
Anniversary of JFK's murder, the conference wil l also cover
the RFK, King, and Wallace shootings . we expect to attract
as speakers and panelists a large number of experts repr e -
senting diverse views on the several cases. Among other
things we expect to have special discussions on the following
subjects: medical evidence, physical evidence, new investi -
gative techniques, legal aspects, conspiracy theories generally,
and new books and movies.

As the number of those who can attend the conference is

limited by the size of the auditorium, admission will be by
registration on a first come, first serve d basis. If you
wish to assure yourself of admittance, there is enclosed a
registration b lank for your convenience. The arrangements
for the conference are being made by Ms. Andrea Wyatt.
Questions can be addressed to her c / o CTIA, 1520 16th Street,
N.W., Suite 101 , Washington, D. c. 20036.

The committee is als o trying to arrange for the produc-

tion of a documentary f i lm which would be, in effect, a
critique of Dallas, ten years later. We are unfortunat e l y
running into problems of both finance and film rights. The
movie project is in the hands of a young New Yorker, Bob
Galdston, who is a ·musician and record producer .
 .-.--·...

After four years at 927 15th Street, N.W ., the office

of the committee is being moved to 1520 16th street, N.W .,
Washington, D. c. 20036, after September 15th. At the new
location we will have somewhat more office space and a
generally more convenient set-up .

As for the past several years, the Committee is generally

being run by its Director of Research, Bob Smith, and its
Counsel, Jim Lesar. Our deepest thanks go to both of these
veterans for their unselfish and unstinting devotion to "the
cause." Hopefully, they will stay with us until one or more
of the cases are broken open and the final solutions can be
turned over to the Government.

The status of the cases is complex, and we can only touch

on them briefly in this Newsletter.

J.F.K.

considerab l e progress has been made in piecing together

the complex pieces of the puzzle. However, after ten years
we still do not have anything resembling a "signed confession,"
which seems to be what ' s needed to arouse public and/or con-
gressional interest~

Much work has been done on Oswald's trip to Mexico by

Messrs. Smith, Popkin, and Fensterwald ; however, no publica-
tion of the data and its conclusions is in sight. Dr. Cyril
Wecht has completed and published his first review of the
autopsy material (see Modern Medicine, November 27, 1972, pp.
28-32.) ·

A number of unusually interesting statements on Dallas

have been released recently: a statement by LBJ, quoted by
Leo Janos in Atlantic for July, 1973, to the effect that LBJ
never believed that Oswald was a lone killer; a recent CBS
First Line Report by Dan Rather, casting grave doubts on the
warren Report. Copies of excerpts from these are attached. ·

In his news conference on August 22 , 1 973, President

Nixon made the following remark:
. .
Page Three

"Q . Mr. President , you recently suggested that

if the late Robert Kennedy had initiated 10 more
wiretaps, he would have been able to discover the
Oswald plan, as you described it, and thereby pre-
sumably prevent the assassination of President
Kennedy . "

"A. Let me correct you, sir. I want to be

sure that the assumption is correct. I said if 10
more wiretaps could have found the conspiracy .
uh , if it was a conspiracy, or the individual, then
it would have been worth it . "

The President's uncertainty on the matter has not been

further elaborated .

Another recent development appeared in the July issue

of Penthouse Magazine. Writer George O'Toole, applying a
new type of purported lie detection device (PSE) to the
recor ded statements of various Warren commission witnesses ,
has found what he believes to be a pattern of deception
c o nsistent with the view that Oswald was framed . O'Toole
has since carried his research much further and will report
his findings in a book which will be published late this year
or early in 19 74.

A movie has been made out of Mark Lane ' s and Don Freed ' s
book Executive Action, starring Burt Lancaster and Robert
Ryan . The flick is part fact and part fiction . It is due
for release in November; possibly its premier will be held
in Washington on November 22nd, though its producers are
hoping to have i t open in Dallas .

.R.F.K.

Sirhan S i rhan has acquired a new lawyer, Roger Hanson,

of Los Angeles. Hanson has achieved considerable recognition
for his efforts to re-open the infamous Kirschke case. He
believes that if he is successful in that case (and we be-
l ieve he will be), then he can get a new trial for Sirhan.
He would have at least three major thi~gs going for him :
Page Four

a) The new position of sirhan's original lawyer,

Grant Cooper, who now says "had he known then what he
knows now, the trial would have been vastly d:i:fferent."

b) Coroner Noguchi's insistence that all three

shots hitting RFK came from behind and below and at a
maximum range of six inches; whereas, the witnesses
generally place Sirhan in front of RFK and several
feet away.

c) Studies made by criminalist William W. Harper,

showing that the ballistics evidence submitted at the
trial was insufficient to establish that the fatal bul-
lets came from Sirhan's gun.

Martin Luther King

The convicted slayer of Dr. King, James Earl Ray, is

being held in solitary confinement indefinitely in the state
Prison in Nashville, Tennessee. After two complete trips
through the Tennessee Courts to the State Supreme court (with-
out success), Ray filed a writ of habeas corpus with the
Federal District Court in Nashville. The writ alleged that
his guilty plea was involuntary, that he wished to withdraw it
and stand trial. In August, 1973, Federal Judge H. Clure
Morton turned down the writ, even denying Ray the usual evi-
dentiary hearing to ascertain whether in fact his guilty plea
was voluntary or involuntary. The case is now on. appeal to
the Sixt.h U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal in Cincinnati. No
decision is expected there before 1974. Meanwhile, Ray remains
in solitary confinement ("for his own good") despite all efforts
to get relief for him.

*****
Along with almost everything else, the Watergate has
affecte? the several assassination investigations. Its
general· effect has cut tw6 ways: People are less inclined to
believe what the government tells them and more inclined to
believe that "the government is capable of almost anything;"
conversely it has turned off millions qf Americans with respect
to politics in any way, shape, or form; this in turn, means
less interest in· solving political murders.

There are also particular Watergate effects. For

example, E. Howard Hunt's n1~w book on the Bay of Pigs
emphasizes the zeal with which the author advocated Castro's
assassination coincidentally with the 1961 invasion. The
name Frank Sturgis (or Frank Fiorini, etc.) rings a familiar
bell; Sturgis apparently once claimed that he had encountered
Oswald in Miami, stimulating an investigation by the FBI
which produced three lengthy documents in the warren Com-
mission's files. And then there is Arthur Bremer; many peopl.e
wonder whether he was financed and directed at an early stage
of his career by any White House "agents."

Even Chappaquiddick has drawn the attention of Ervin

and cox, and a lawsuit has been filed against the "plumbers"
by one of Mary Jo Kopechne's roommates. And so on.

*****
The Committee is still basically unfunded. We have
enough for rent, telephone and postage, but that's about
all. If any of you can spare a few dollars you can be
assured that they will be put to good use. Four contribution
blanks are enclosed; please distribute them to interested
persons. If you can spare more than a few dollars, we might
even be able to afford to hire a trained investigator to
follow some of the myriad leads smoldering away in our files.

We hope to see you in November.

From "The Last Days of the President" by Leo Janos, The .Atlantic,
July, 1973:

During coffee, the talk turned to President Kennedy,

and Johnson expressed his belief that the assassination
in Dallas had been part of a conspiracy. "I never
believed that Oswald'· acted alone, although I can accept
that he pulled the trigger." Johnson said that when he
had taken office he found that "we had been operating a
damned Murder Inc. in the Caribbean." A year or so be-
fore Kennedy's death, a CIA-backed assassination team
had been picked up in Havana. Johnson speculated that
Dallas had been a retaliation for this thwarted attempt,
although he couldn't prove it. "After the warren com-
mission reported in, I asked Ramsey Clark [then Attorney
General) to quietly look into the whole thing. Only
two weeks later he reported back that he couldn't find
anything new. "

(Upon inquiry, Ramsey Clark has denied that any such request was

made of him, pointing out that he did not become Attorney General

until 1966 whereas the Warren Report was published in September,

1964. Nicholas Katzenbach was Attorney General from 1964 to 1966,

succeeding Robert Kennedy. It is not clear from the remarks

attributed to LBJ whether the request was made immediately after

the warren Report was issued or some years later.)

"Rethinking the Unthinkable': - Dan Rather, CBS News First Line
Report, August 10, 1973:

Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot President Kennedy: Did he ever

know or have.contact with E. Howard Hunt or Gordon Liddy or any of

the others in that mysterious and dangerous crew convicted in the

Watergate crime - and under investigation still in connection with

r
Page Seven

a series of other criminal acts including burglarizing homes,

offices, and erribassies? What about Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin

of Robert Kennedy, and James E<itr 1 Ray, the killer of Martin Luther

King, and Arthur Bremer, the man who shot. George Wallace? Did

Hunt or Liddy or his strange Cuban contacts, did any or all of

them know any of these people? If so, how and how well? Under

normal circumstances, and in more normal times, these questions

would not be asked. Unfortunately for us all, circumstances are

fai from normal. These are not normal times. Among people on

the street, among people far removed from the elite strata of

politics and with no stake or arribition in partisan political

machinations, the questions are there, wandering the backroads of

their minds. Especially about the assassination of President

Kennedy. Doiibts. long have nagged. The Warren commission con-

eluded on the basis of evidence and testimony available at the

time that Oswald and probably Oswald alone fired at President

Kennedy. No conspiracy was the conclusion. Please pardon the

personal reference, but it seems advisable in this instance to note

that this reporter was in Dallas when Kennedy was shot, followed

closely th.e Warren investigation, and conducted for CBS News and

with CBS Newp' full resources an independent investigation. Then

and ever since, this reporter had defended the Warren Commission

and.its conclusions. However, it occurred at the time, to this

Page Eight

reporter and to others, that the Warren Corrunission may have made

a mistake in closing completely its investigation. The question

was asked then, why could not the investigation be open-ended? Why

could not at least a skeleton investigatory staff be left? It was,

admittedly by all concerned, a close decision, but.President John-

son, Chief Justice Warren and the Kennedy family all decided that

it was best for the country and for the case to end the warren corn-

mission, its investigation and its reporting. We know now but

didn't know then that President Johnson was never finally, abso-

lutely convinced that Oswald acted completely alone. Mr. Johnson

apparently wasn't because his friend John Connally, also wounded in

the shooting of President Kennedy, said he wasn't absolutely con-

vinced. Now the old sores, the old doubts, the old questions and

some new ones are being reopened: Oswald's involvement with anti-

Castro Cubans; what was supposed to have been his mystery appearance

in Mexico city; the possibility of contacts with people who had CIA

connections; rrunt and Liddy's involvement with anti-Castro Cubans;

their CIA connections. These, so far as we know, are just a

smattering o~ the kaleidoscope of unrelated coincidences, unproved

allegations, . and downright rumors that sweep through and boggle the

minds of people who try to think straight about what has happened.

NO right thi~king person wants to be irresponsible. That is part

of the reason people who think about it might talk about it l:ittle.
' '
Page Jfine

Another part of the reason is fear -- fear of cipenihg further

all those old.doubts and suspicions. But fear of the truth is not

an America,n trait. Perhaps.it isn't time to re-op!"n.the case of

. - -~

the Kenn;ii{Cii assassination, or any of the others in ahy formal

. .
way. ·r+: .. may pe, however, that someone, s9mewhere in authority

already•is asking quietly, investigatively, some of the tough

. questions about characters such as Hunt· and Liddy and their Cuban

contacts and whether they had at any time a.ny connection with

Oswald, ,Sirhan, Ray, or Bremer .

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence

SUBJECT: Kennedy Assassination - Warren

Commission Report

1. This memorandum is for your information.

2. The attached letter is Bernard Fenst~rwald's request

for photographs in connection with-th-;,-Warren Co,.;,mission Report.
You will recall that one photograph of the unidentified man in
Mexico City is in the open record and the now unclassified papers
pertaining to it speak of photographs. Under these circumstances,
I took the position that we could not withstand a request premised
on the Freedom of Information Act, and CI Staff readily agreed
to make available other photographs of the same man for Mr.
Fensterwald's inspection.

· 3. Mr. Fenste\wlld came to my office this morning with

his partner, ~;;:m G. IOhlhaus_en,. looked at the other photo-
graphs, and told us -12_~ ~d_]zn_C?_w,,wh?._th~ .m_a.'.:1 was. He said he is
presently serving a prlson term somewhere in the United States
and admitted that he had known Oswald, but Mr. Fensterwald
said there was nothing to indicate any connection between the man
in the photographs and the assassination of President Kennedy.
Mr. Fensterwald did not give us the man's name at this time, as
he said enough people had suffered unnece~ sarily from allegations
that they were associated with the assassination, but he did say
he was sure we had a file on the man. He asked if he could have

(

~
the photographs, and I asked how he would use them. He said
he did not know and finally agreed that for the time being he
would not press his request. I then returned their check for
$20. 00. The whole meeting was extremely friendly and they
thanked us for our response.

4. Mr.· Dqoley; .CI Staff, who was with me, said that,
from the names they gave as being of interest t.o them, they
appeared to be following down some of the same old tracks
that the FBI had thoroughly investigated and found to be
unprofitable. They did say, however, that the·y expected to
stir the pot in due course.

The Long Committee

The Agency's previous interventions on Maheu 's behalf' are

_reviewed here, because of' the increasingly important role of Maheu

in the scenario. The last of these · interventions occurred during

the period May - June 1966. At that time a Senate COICittee headed
by Senator Long of Missouri vas investigating invasions of' privacy

and planned to call Maheu to testify. We learned indirectly of' the

Committee 's intention to call him. A man who -was employed by Maheu
'

.t i.n .1954-55 vas informed that he would be called to testify about his
activities during that :period. He was an employee of' AID in 1966.
~ Internal Security Division of the Department of .Justice learned

that he was to be called as a vi tness and informed CIA' s General.

Counsel.

In the 1954-55. time :period Maheu was hired by the Greek shipping

Dear ARI

Just a line to thank you for your fore.al acceptance of ~eirbership

in the Concnittee. Of course, your cooperation could not possibly
be greater than it h&s been, but it is very valuable to list your
rui~e publicly as a cerilier; I ac deeply gratiful. l look forward
to seeing you on your next trip to Washington.

Since writing the above, I have discovered t1J00 leads in your general
area which 1 am hopeful ycu ir.ay be able to check out •
..
(1) There ~a a ir..an na~ed Christopher Kantianis, 214 Lo~ Hill
Street, Springfield, tlaosachusetts, this u.an was Assistant to Attorney -
General Robett F. Kennedy and is alleged to kr.ow why Robert Kennedy
would ir.akc no efforc to fine out wbo killed his brother.
(%) I am enclosing a letter fro~ a fellow investigator, Howard
Verb of San Francisco, to aoA$ian refugee la\.T)'er in Littleton,
Nev Hai:tpsbire. The letter is somewhat self-explanatory. You DO
doubt know that Geor~e De Mohreoschildt was a key fi gure in the
CIA operation in the Caribbean area. This Asian gentlen.an was with
George De liohrenschildt when news ca.me of JFK's death. lie c.ay have
considerable infonu&tion to supply if you c.an get him to talk.

If possible, you ~ight tape his conversation.

Sincerely youra,

lau11ng to . Oswald's relations
with two Cuban ambassadors
while he was in Moscow.
According lo the n1e1norandurn
given Porlell-Vila, the files
concerning these allged contacts
by Os\valcl were turned over lo
Pidcl Castro aud his brother
just 1.wo days after the assassi-
nation of President Kennedy.

cnc·e to "Osvaldo'' in the tnerno

than lo Lee Harvey Oswald.
Therefore, Hoorer inforrned the

Hesearchcrs al !.he private

F1nall1, there is Oswald's Jrip

But lhe \Varren Con1mission
only discloses information con·
cerning !he first day of Os-

1one would have· lo exa1nine

end? Or, for that n1atter find
whal forces "'ere behind ' the

Fensterwald is opLiinisLic be-
cause "all the t.ime new pieces
of infonnation turn up.JJ He
feels the work of his Committee
is in1portant "because thei·e
n1ay be. n1any 1nore · political

lhal there will be a new o[ficial

personally meeting you, but certainly

BF: We worked up there together

CC: Yeah.

BF: £or a while, but r was pretty green back in th,yse days·

BF: I know. I talked to Dave Shapiro .

CC: Um mmm.

BF: . couple 0£ days ago and r am very much interest,0d in

the Wallace shooting.

CC: Um mmm.

BF: I have read Burnstein and Woodward and other people ,_,c;nd

there were certain aspects 0£ what happened that day that

are very obscure to me and r thought you might have c;:;ome

insight into i t that r didn't and might be able to i~~part it

to me without endangering yourself or anybody else.

cc: We,11, no problem. All I know is that after i t happe:'::ed, I

went in with the President and spent the evening witrh him.

We had dinner together, while he called Mrs. Wallace.' and while

CC: I called the FBI. We were frantically trying to be sure

that they had the right guy, that there were not others

involved and that they were thorough in their investigation

and that they seal off his premises and car and anything else

that they found, and that they put someone with him in the

jail. I arranged that through my calls to the FBI, so that

he wouldn't be assassinated. The President did not want a

repeat where the guy get assassinated and they never find out

who he was or why he was doing· it.

BF: Right. Could I ask you a couple of specifics, because they

seem to be a problem? Number one is, that the FBI did go to

his apartment

CC: Um mmm.

BF: . and they stayed a short length of time .

CC: Um mm.

BF: then left and a bunch of reporters came?

CC: Yeap. They goofed. The FBI goofed, and that's what Mark

Felt told me that. Tha~'s one reason I was crawling all

over him that night. I have talked to him since then. His
explanation of that now is that they blew it.

BF: In other words, the fact is that they did leave and then

they did come back?

CC: Yeap,

BF: Do you have any recollection as to what the time sequence

was on that?

CC: It was very short, as I can remember.
BF: And this was in the afternoon or evening, or do you know?

CC: It was in the evening. My recollection is that why I was

brought into i t was that somebody was in there and the

President just exploded.

BF: .Um mm. Could you tell me what your conversation with Hunt

was about in respect to this?

CC: It was absolutely nothing. I called him early to find out

what he thought was behind it.

BF: Um mmm.

CC: I called several people.

BF: Did he have any ideas?

CC: No. He really didn't. It was a very brief conversation

because I was talking to him and was interrupted when the

President called me.

BF: And was that in the afternoon or evening?

CC: No, no, no. It was probably 11:00 that night.

BF: What about the alleged trip to

CC: It's untrue; nobody ever asked it, or suggested it, or

anything else.

BF: In other words, Woodward, Burnstein just sought of

the logs and the timing and the affidavit from the FBI and

the whole thing was impossible.

BF: Do you know anything specifically about what happened

to the rest of Bremer's diary.

CC: I do not.

BF: Because, I think that I do, and I was just wondering if

·· you had any information to fit with what I have?

CC: Don't know a thing about it.

BF: Do you suppose that Mark Felt would be willing to discuss

this or would this be an official matter he would .....

CC: Well, I don't know. He certainly was with me, when I

called him about it. But you could certainly try.

BF: You· were in a different position then.

CC: No. I was out. That ·was after the Woodward and Burnstein's

report. As I said before I called him and said, Jesus guess

what they are saying now. He said that is impossible.

BF: Well. I don't guess it would hurt anything.

CC: No. You could try. He lives out in Virginia somewhere.

Dear Mr. Striso:

In addition to practicing law, I also serve as Execu-
tive Director of the Cor.~ittee to Investigate Assassi-
nations. Some "propaganda" with respect to our
organization is enclosed.

I have been intri.gued for sometime with your so-called

"Kaplan" case which, I believe, has a definite bearing
·- .. on at least one of the major assassinations. I believe
that you are most knowledgeable with respect to this
. ··. - ... case and I am hopeful that you would be willing to
share your knowledge with us.

If possible, I would like to meet with you either here

or in Hew York at your convenience. Please let me
know if you can assist us.

Understandfng the enormous d~mands being~made · on your tf~e
follo "llng is submftted to you for your ~oss1ble fnterest
!~:under.the circu mstances I wil I not requ1re a reply.
In closely fol lo wi ng your fnvestf gatfon I noted wfth
some consider a ble intere s t that your office has issued subpoenas
to Richard Helm, he a d of the Centr a l Intelligence Ag ency. Judgin ~
by my past contacts with the C.I.A. a s related to your c a se I
would expect t h at tremendous actfvfty has been generated to block
your tnve s tigation. The wrfter hopes that one of the positive
results of your actfvfties wf I I be publ le pressure to ha ve the
power of the agency curbed. Mr. H~lms resignation would be one · 6~
desired results.
Somethfng in the J am e s Pnel a n recent a rtfcle fn the

picture of one of the ohotogr a o hers who I feel should Interes t
your staff. If he fs st(ll wit h in your jurfsd!ctton a talk with

Our arrangement had Jim Nick less working fn the fie Id while
I handled the necessary contacts ln New Yark Cfty. Jim became
fntlmatc with al I of the people who were Involved fn the Say of

- aware of the complete iimlng of Piqs. I was also aware of the
!:
tragic f~cts of I ife whfch doomed nplgs" before rt even started.
Ultimately many of those involved became aware of what was done
-~ to them and they became extremely bitter. The motlvatfonaJ
fmpl !cations are wel I kno'H~_to you and need not be developed. In
~ freely moving through every major staging area Jim Nitkless met
' all of the people who are Involved In your story. There Is little
' question that he could put his finger on any one of the people.
i who are necessary to the success .of your Investigation.

An unbelievably complex story has developed involvlng the murder
of a.Louis Vidal Jr. In Mexico by his partner Joel Kaplan. Kaplan

I ~
' was sentenced to 28 years in a Mexican prison in 1961. My confident
fa! sources developed the Information that Louis Vidal Jr. '.'tas

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence

SUBJECT: Kennedy Assassination - Warren

Commission Report

1. This memorandum is for your information.

2. The· attachl'd letter is ~nard Fens\erw·ald 's request

for photographs in connection with the Warren Commission Report.
You will recall that one photograph of the unidentified man in
Mexico City is in the open record and the now unclassified papers
pertaining to h speak of photographs. Under these circumstances,
I took the position that we could not withstand a request premised
on the Freedom of Information Act, a n d - readily agreed
to make available other photographs of the same man for Mr.
Fensterwald's inspection.

3. Mr . Fensterwald came to my office this morning with

his partner, William G. Ohlhausen, looked at the other photo-
graphs, and tc·ld us he did know who the man was. He said he is
presently serving a prison term somewhere in the United States
and admitted that he had known Oswald, but Mr . Fensterwald
said there was nothing to indicate any connection between the man
in the photographs and the assassination of Preside;it Kennedy.
Mr. Fensterwald did not give us the man's name at this time, as
he said enough people had suffered unnecessarily from allegations
that they were associated with the assassination, but he did say
he was sure we had a file on the man. He ask~d if he could have

the photographs, and I asked how he wo•.ild use them. He said

he did not know and finally agreed that for the time being he
would not pref his request. I then returned their check for
$20. 00. The hole meeting was extremely friendly and they

- th;i.nked us fo our response.

4.
I
who was with me, said that,
from the names they gave as being of interest to them, they
appeared to be following down some of the same old tracks
that the FBI had thoroughly investigated and found to be
unprofitable. They did say, however, that they expected to
stir the pot in due course.

set forth on page 2 of referent:

1. We have three photograp!'ls which .:i.ppear to be

the three described on page 4 of Warren Commission
Document ;\;umber 566. We can..1ot certify that these
photographs are tl-.e actual ones shGwn to Gutierrez,
but the descript:on is sufficiently detailed to conclude
that; they are either the same photog:::aphs or copies
the::eof. The photograph described in paragraph 3,
page 4 of Wa-::::en Co~nmission Docur:'l1rnt N\;,mbc:: 566
appears to be the 0;1e oi which a cropped. version

The old, the halt and the lame are com-

it.
Last week an administrative law jud@e
of the t:.S. Merit Systems Protection
Soard declared that 21 former "contract"
mem~rs of Naval Task Force 157 - a
clandes:ine intelliience o::>eratior. di~­
ba.nded in 19ii - were actuollr federal
employees durin¥ their secret sen·ice.

The WashinitOn Times - such awards
could "directlv affect at least two basic

ln fact, Fensterwald represents just

· now claims that his employers - China

His case before the merit board has been
stalled since it was filed rwo years afo.
Fensterwald also p_oinu out that - by
an estimate he takes care to describe as
hi~ owo i\)esswork - there may have
been as many u 200 coo tract members
of Task Force 157 . Je.a,·ing abou: 180 who
mi@ht now surface and make claims
based on the success of the oriiini.l 21 .
The Cl.A brief in the 'Iask Force lSi
case points out that because the a@ency
has specific statutory authoriry for clan·
destine operations which the Navy does
not have, and has .. developed a complex
infrastructure." many of the issues
before the board did nor directly affect

Jr.. and Wateriate figure James W.
McCord Jr. - hu no: found it easy liti·
Rating v•ith intelligence a@enc:ies.

d1,·it filed in federal ciismc1 court by
the •iency \ol:ould ha\'e compromised
.. source! and methods .. because it
.. detailed the entire spectrum of exist ·
ent relationships ... bo~ O\'en and coven,
which are utifaed in the conduct of intel·
liaence acti\"ities." fensterv.·ald later was
allowed to rud the brief and aet a copy
of the unclassified portions.
Then there is the miner of the 500.
pound safe the Navy has 1iven Fenster·
" ·aid to keep secure some 400 secret
documents it turned over to him in the
Task Force 157 case. Most difficult of
all. says fensterwald. is that "you have
to rely on the iO"emmenT for everything .··
since most of the relevant information

Mr. Richard Helms, Director

Central Intelligence Agency
Langley, V~rgini~

Dear Mr. Helms:

On January 4, 1971, the C.I . A. declassifi~d a document,

--
signed by you in March of 1964, and addressed to Mr. J.
Lee Rankin, counsel to the President's Conunissicn on the
Death of Presiaent John F. KenneC.y. The recently declassi-
fied docwnent, the date of which is difficult to read, is
identified as Commission No. 674~ a copy is attached for
purposes of identification.

You will note a reference in paragraph 2 of the document

to "pho~ographs of an unidentified ma1: who visited the
• Cuban and Soviet Embassies in (Mexico] City during October
and November 1963." In paragraph 4, l'OU informed the Com-
mission that Mr. Willens or Mr. Stern could view the "pho-
tographs of unidentified man that are in our file."

Having conducted a~ extensive investigation into the murder

of President Kennedy, we feel that we might be able to .
identify the man in the photographs. Being aware of the
requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, we enclose
our check for $20.00 to cover the cost of making cop)es of
the photographs. If there is a greater charge, please in-
form us, as we are desirous of obtaining the photographs .
without de.lay.

MEMORANDUM FOR: DC/CI Raymond G. Rocca

SUBJECT Interview With Bernard Fensterwald, Jr.

Re: Photo Of Unknown Man In Oswald Case
(201-289248)

Larry Houston, General Counsel , invited me to join him in

an interview this morning with Mr. Fensterwald regarding the un-
known man who was photographed b y us in Mexico City during the
-period Oswald was in Me x ico (see attached letter}. We met
Fensterwald at 8:45 a. m. in Mr. Houston's office. Fensterwald

showed them the three pictures in the attached envelope.

an American, serving a prison term in this country on a criminal

prisoner had any conspiratorial relationship with Oswald. Fenstcrwald
replied he did not know the answer as he had not interviewed the man
as yet. We reiterated that we did not know who the man was, and said
that we would like to know his identity. Fensterwald replied that CIA
has a thick file on the unknown man, and that we will be furnished his
name in due course. l;!e asked why we didn't have a picture of Oswald
since it was well known we were photographing the embassies frol_!I
_across the street. We rephed that we knew ol no pictures that were
taken of Oswald iti'Mexico City and that Fensterwald would have to

take ou:- word on this as well as our explanation of the circum-

stances aurroundln the photo of the unknown man.

We told him that Mr. Helms had issued instructions to

cooperate fully with the Warren Commission; that member.- of
the Commission visited CIA and were shown everything we had.
Fensterwald seemed impressed by this and said that he doubted
that the American people were aware of this fact. He raised a
question about the 4 October date of the photo since Oswald al-
ready had left Mexico. I explained that Osw ald was not under in-
_ve stigation when he was in Mexico, and we did not learn about his
departure date and many o ther details until the exhaustive FBI in-
vestigation following the assassination. I also e x plain·ed the reason
for the two affidavits of Mr. Helms. I told him that the Commission
w as trying to disprove th e allegation b y Oswald's mother that the
man in the picture was Jack Rub y ; that at first it asked fof a de-
tailed affidavit which w as furnished, and th e n de cided that the
-·
br o ad e r one, used in the public r e cord, w ould suffice. Fensterw ald
said it w as o bv ious that the picture w a s n e ithe r Osw ald nor Ruby.

Fensterwald mentioned that h e recently had been to Califor-

nia w h e re h e visited for m er Commission attorne y Wesley J.
Liebeler (sourc e of Epstein ' s book "Inquest" ) and that Liebel e r
would like to see th e case reopen e d . I noted that both Epstein and
Mark Lane (Rush to Judg e ment) used false dat e s w hen referring to
our turnover of the photo to the FBI. Fensterw ald indicated that h e
has d o ne considerable investigation in connection w ith the assassina-
tion of President K e nnedy and would lik e to se e a congressional
hearing to bring out the full facts.

Fensterwald asked if he could have a copy of the picture

taken in front of the full wall. We declined on the grounds that it
never was used by the Commission nor placed in the public record; ·
that the Commission attorneys examined it and settled for what they
considered a better picture. After examining the three photos ,
Fensterwald said he saw no reason for the cropping initially since
one couldn't recognize the background. I replied that the person

who furnished the photo to the FBI didntt want to take a~y chances.
He then said that he had no need for the pictures anyway and thanked
us for cooperating with him ..

Fensterwald did a little fishing about our classified exhibits

ln National Archives. Wf!!'told him that they were being withheld to
protect intelligence sources and methods - - not because of any
incriminating contents; that some of the exhibits bearing different
numbers are interrelated, giving a misleading impression that
there are more exhibits than is the case. .

FensteI1.vald is confident that he and his colleagues will come

up with the true solution to the Os . .vald case and discredit the Vlarren
Commission. On the basis of the few ideas he advanced, this is
strictly . . ~:ishful thinking. One thing is clear, ho . . vever, we apparently
have not heard th~ ead of _!-he unknov.·~<:n~

 Hiss's conVJct1on, Acheson announced at a press conference
that he did not intend to turn his back on Alger Hiss. And
Acheson died with the conviction that the Hiss story was a
"mystery'', and that Harry White, too, was innocent. And for
many years, Alger Hiss (born in 1904) continued to maintain
that his case had been fabricated .
Whittaker Chambers, the chief informer against him, died
in 1961. Louis J. Russell, the operator who supplied Nixon
with the "documents" on which the latter based his charges,
died under mysterious circumstances after the Watergate bur-
glary in which he had taken part. Hiss's request for a ruling on
his death was turned down. In any case, the Supreme Court of
the State of Massachusetts restored Hiss's licence to practice
law, of which he had been stripped in 1950.
H iss and his friends are still trying to find out how the case
against him had been fabricated . The investigation of the 1950
"investigation" is continuing.1
In 1984, Ronald Reagan made his own, very special con-
tribution to the investigation. He posthumously awarded a Med-
al of Freedom to Whittaker Chambers, whom he described
as "a man of courage and wisdom" .2
"No matter which view is correct," observes US journalist
Michael Dorman, "it remains obvious that the Hiss case played
a major role in the history of American witch hunts.. . Fresh
waves of political hysteria swept across the country. Amid such
turmoil, the nation became ripe for the era of McCarthyism." 3
The Hiss case and many other less known excesses reflected
the political climate of that period: the demand created a sup-
ply. The stakes were much higher than just the personal fate
of the people concerned. The government was being angrily ask-
ed how and why the United States "lost" China, and who was
the guilty party in Washington.
The problem of relations with the victorious Chinese people
}'Vas dealt with exclusively in terms of force. The attempts of
such US experts as J ohn Davies and John Service, who were

backed by John Carter Vincent, Chief of the State Department's
Office of Far Eastern Affairs, to open the government's eyes
and to urge political rather than military methods, f.ailed. They
were driven out of the State Department and subjected to a
close investigation as communist sympathizers. Yet Dav~es and
Service, as Washington observers noted later, knew Asian af-
fairs as consummately as Kennan knew those of Europe, and
could by the 1960s have risen to top posts in the State Depart-
ment. This was doubtless the reason why Dean Acheson took
no pride in their dismissal, and did not mention them in his
memoirs.1
Since the alternative China policy was viewed as something
next to treason, the United States stuck it out to the end with
the Chiang Kai-shek regime that had lost its footing in the coun-
try. When it became obvious that its collapse was imminent,
the State Department put out a 1054-page White Book on US
policy in China (August 5, 1949) . In the foreword, Acheson
admitted : "The ominous results of the civil war in China . ..
was the product of internal Chinese forces, forces which this
country tried to influence but could not. A decision was ar-
rived at within China." 2
In 1952, Truman tried to explain to publicist Arthur Krock
that "Chiang Kai-shek's downfall was his own doing. His field
Generals surrendered the equipment we gave him to the Com-
mies and used his own arms and ammunition to overthrow
him. Only an American Army of 2,000,000 men could have saved
3
him and that would have been World War III." The Pres-
ident filed away this most revealing letter instead of mailing
it to whom it was addressed.
Understandably so. No rational argument would have work-
ed in the irrational climate that was shaping then in the Unit-
ed States. The Republicans were out to make the "Commu-
nist threat" an issue in the electoral campaign. Taking the cue
from Richard Nixon, they labelled the Democrats a treason

for his work, did n ot know if he was still employed, and was in a
quandary as to what be should do about the FBI. The letter mailed
h~ rh~n called the Committee to Re-elect the President and repeated
his plight to Fred LaRue. A day later, CRP attorney Paul O'Brien
came to New Haven to discuss the matter with him.
_ Like that of so_many other lawyers in the affair, O'Brien's past
mduded connecnons to the CIA.• And the position he took with
Baldwin did much to break open the Watergate scan dal. To Cas-
sidenro it was obvious that O'Brien and the CRP had no intention
of helping his client. O'Brien's questions centered almost entirely on
the issue of whether or n ot it could be proved that Baldwin bad an
official relationship to the Nixon reelection committee. If it could
be proved that he did, that was a potential embarrassment; if not,
well . - - To Baldwin, however, his employment by McCord Associ-
ates, I nc., rather than by the CRP itself, was a mere technicality, and
he told O 'Brien as much. The GOP attorney's response was to
shrug, whereupon the interview was ended, and O'Brien rerurned
to the capital. Baldwin felt that he was being abandoned by the big
shots.
When f\lcCord finally telephoned his former employee, on June
24, the tenor of the conversation was more sympathetic, but the
content was much the same. McCord urged Baldwin to remain
silent, except to say that he was employed by McCord Associates.
B~dwin replied that his position was difficult, and suggested that he
nugbt have to seek a deal with the authorities. McCord replied that
he understood, and that whacever Baldwin did, be would "under-
stand."

SIG!\"POSTS ICSOllD HI
Two weeks later, on July 5. the U.S. attorney's o~ce _in Washing-
ton made a formal promise not to prosecute Baldw1~ m return for
his complete cooperation. fi,-e days afterwar.d .Baldwm sat down to
a marathon session ~;th two FBI agents, giving them a blow-by-
blow description of his ad\'enrures. _
News of Baldwin's confession, howe,·er, did not reach the pubhc
until September 6, rv.·o months after his inten;ew with the FBI. It
was then that Democrats Joseph Califano and Larry O'Brien sraged
a press conference. Referring only to an ~nidentified "i~orman~"
(Baldwin), the Democrats for the first ome made public details
about the June 16-17 break-in, the alleged bugging of Oliver and
O'Brien in May, the delivery of eavesdropping logs to the CRP, and
the abortive effons to bug .\'\cGo,·ern's own headquarters.
It was a sensational story, and the question naturally arises as t~
how the Democrats learned of Baldwin's confession. The answer is
that Baldwin himself told them, albeit supposedly without knowing
to whom he w as blabbing. In late July, more than two weeks after
his client's interview with the FBI, Cassidento telephoned Edward
Bennett Williams, saying that be h ad a client who bas "a lot to say
about the Watergate . __ and wants to get it out."' 0 Willi~s then
notified his partner, Joseph Califano, who was represe~ong the
DNC in its civil suit against the Watergate burglars. Califano and
Cassidento subsequently discussed the matter, and an attorney was
dispatched from Califano's firm to Cassidenro's ~ffices. in ~ew
Ha,·en, Connecticut. There, in early August. a bizarre mterv1ew
took place. While Baldwin sat in one room Califano's representat.i,·e
sat in another, each out of sight and hearing of ~e other. A ~uesnon
would be put to Cassid ento, who would relay 1t to Baldwin. Bald-
win would reply. and Cassidento would return with the.answer ~o
Califano's man. This procedure would be foll owed until Baldwin
had exhausted his information-and two lawyers.
Subsequently Baldwin was questioned by the Ervin committee
concerning his transaction with the Democrats' attorneys. He
"vehemently denied" ever collaborating with the Democratic .Na-
tional Committee or its counsel. and said that he had never provided
them ~;th information concerning Watergate." T his \~as, ~f
course, untrue, though Baldwin seems not to have known 1t. His

 Clearing the Air
with invasion of privacy, haven't you, Dan? With that FBI
thing . .. "
Mitchell, attorney general at the time of "that FBI thing,"
was the first insider to suggest it had involved not a job offer, but
an invasion of privacy. From New York (the White House
transcripts show) Mitchell called John Ehrlichman to make s ure
that President Nixon knew I had intercepted Mitchell for an
interview. "And so he said to Schorr," Ehrlichman reported
accurately to Nixon, "he didn' t know anything about Water-
gate, and he didn't think anybody cared about Watergate, and
he had just been down to the White House and he hadn't seen the
President. That was all that he said."
Mitchell apparently said nothing to Ehrlicbman of the tip he
had given me about the White House-ordered FBI investigation.
It was consistent with Mitchell's general contempt for the Nixon
palace guard that he would be sarcastic about any impropriety
that originated in the White House. This would later become the
major theme of his public defense as he pointed to the "White
House horrors" as the root of all evil in the Nixon administra-
tion and the real reason for the White House cover-up.
• •
As Washington reeled from President Nixon's sudden an-
nouncement on April 17 of "major developments," few of us
paid much attention to the line in his statement that none of his
assistants, past or present, "should be given immunity from
prosecution." This began to assume significance, two days later,
when Dean issued his first statement, saying cryptically that
anyone who thinks"( will become a scapegoat in the Watergate
case ... does not know me." It seemed clear that Dean was
involved in some tumultuous, though still mysterious conflict in
the White House.
My priority assignment- as several executives and produc-
ers brought emphatically to my attention- was not to analyze
the cloudy situation, but to find the invisible John Dean and get
him before a camera. A stake-out at his home in Alexandria was
barren of results. A telephone tip from an anonymous informant
embarked me on a hunt that turned into one of my Jess
triumphant days as an investigative reporter. The informant
78
"A Real Media Enemy"
said he had witnessed John Dean being introduced to someone
at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. On the
theory that he was holed up in a temporary office there, I raced
to my old stamping ground and combed the building, trailing a
camera crew, looking for someone I had never seen. Eventually,
puzzled officials of HEW turned up one John R. Deane lll, a
long-standing employee in the Office of Personnel and Training.
My informant had apparently made a well-intentioned error in
mistaking him for John W. Dean Ill. My detailed explanation,
when I brought the camera crew back, did not save me from
newsroom guffaws.
Unable to find Dean, I tried to find out what he was up to. It
appeared that he was negotiat ing with the prosecutor, Earl
Silbert, trying to avoid indictment in return for information
incriminating others. His lawyer of record, Robert McCandless,
available but uninformative, seemed little more than a public
relations front. It took some digging to learn that Dean had
another attorney, Charles Shaffer, a criminal lawyer with a
Justice Department background, located in suburban Rock-
ville, Maryland. It was Shaffer who was conducting the
negotiations for Dean.
On May 7, I reported on the Cronkite show that Dean had
been turned down in his bid for immunity. Silbert had
concluded he had enough evidence from Jeb Magruder and
others sources to enable him, without Dean's cooperation, to
seek indictments against Dean himself and a series of higher-
ups, up to Haldeman. I mentioned in my report that Shaffer,
during the negotiations, had represe nted Dean as fearful of
going to prison because"his boyish appearance might make him
a target for molestation." Next morning McCandless tele-
phoned to protest and to deny that any such fear motivated
Dean's negotiations. On May JO, Dean issued a statement
charging that efforts were being made to discredit and
intimidate him.
Dean apparently reacted violently to my broadcast. He
wrote, in Blind Ambition, that it left him "stunned, then angry."
To McCandless. he called it "the dirtiest goddamn stunt I ever
heard of." Oddly, there was no sign that he ever tried to find out
whether Shaffer, in fact, had made such a representation about
him. Dean viewed it as part of a White House campaign

EvERY COMPONENT OF THE COMPLEX OF CAPITA-
iist moss communications is a major business. The annual revenues
of the da ily newspapers ore around $ 10 billion ($ 7.5 billion in
advertising and $ 2.5 billion in sales).1) In the early seventies news-
papers ranked ninth among all manufacturing industries in number
of employees (357,000, including 37,000 journolists) .2). Magazines or.e
a S 2.5 billion industry, radio yearly draws $ 1.6 b1ll1on, and televi-
sion more than $ 5 billion.
Although mounting competition hos led to some closures, on the
whole the newspaper-magazine and radio-television monopolies
have strengthened their economic and financial position in the lost
few years. In fact, a "new era of prosperity" is being hailed . Duri~ g
the 1950s and 1960s, newsprint consumption nearly doubled, while
advertising, which accounts for three-quarters of newspaper and
magazine revenues, quadrupled .3)
Arthur Hanson, general counsel of the American Publishers
Association ,•) whom I heard testify before the Senate Subcommittee
on Antitrust and Monopoly conducting hearings on problems of the
mass med ia, d eclared that an independent press had a vital rol e
to play by creating the economic, social and political conditions of
a d emocratic society. Actually, of cou rse, the America n "free press"
serves its owners, in the first place, to multiply their wealth.
Another man that testified at the hearings was Philip Hochstei n,
former executive editor of Newhouse Newspapers Inc., where he
had worked for several decades. D iscussing the functions of the
American bourgeois press, he said: "There was a time when the
newspaper was primarily on organ of news and opinion with a
great deal of advertising matter. I feel th at today, to a very large
d egree across our country, the newspaper has become primarily a

medium of merchandising with a considerable amount of news,
entertain about what he meant, Hoch stein added that the press
owners regarded their newspape rs (and magazines) as " money-
making mochines."5)
A similar characterisation could be discerned in the testimony of
Paul Dixon, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), who
sa id at the hearings that it was his belief that "newspaper publ i-
·cotion is a matter of great commercial importance as well as a
strong 'Socia l influence."6) In both coses men who should know rank-
ed money and business as th e prime functions of newspaper pub-
lishi ng.
Of course, the owners themselves prefer the public to know as
little as possible about the real sta te of affairs. All industria l corpo-
rations and publ ic organ izations ore req uired to submit profit re-
t urns to the Federa l Securities and Exchange Comm ission (SEC).
But the newspapers ore exempt, pleadi ng the Fi rst Amendment
("vague absolutes" and "institutional autonomy" come in especially
handy here) to claim such a prize privilege as confidentiality of fi-
nancial returns. As long as the publishers choose to keep their
books closed no one can make them do otherwise.
The FTC together with SEC publ ishes quarterly financia l reports
on industrial corporati ons. And again the newspapers ore exempt.
In response to a query by Senator Philip Hart, chairman of the
Antitru st and Monopoly Subcommittee of the Senate Commit-
t ee on the Judi ci ary, why newspapers ore not includ-
ed in the FTC's financial reporting programme, Commi ssion cha ir-
man D ixon replied : "It is not clear from the history of th e program
why the newspaper industry was not included ... I often wonder
if that is the whole story. I was not th ere. I kind of suspect nobody
wonted the newspapers mad at them."7) D ixon "confessed" thot
he had no idea of the exact profits of newspapers. And the "con-
fession" comes from the chairman of the Federal Trode Commission
who would seem in d uty bound to know such things!
"Who does this committee talk to to get th at information? You?
The Bureau of the Budget?. . . We a re talking about governme nt
agencies. W here can we get on answer to that?" Senator Hort storm-
ed . But it was a cry in the wilderness.
If on influential senator was unable to get such information, is it
surprising that economi sts, lawyers, and politica l writers studying
th e newspaper industry find it even harder, no to say impossible?

viled , the businessmen had been left to their own devices.
Trum3;11 and Eisenhower had been modest petty bourgeois,
and Nix~o would certainly have followed in their footsteps.
The busmessmen were wary of President Kennedy, who as a
young Senator from Massachusetts had opposed the Taft-
Hartley law and neglected the industrialists of his state. Ken-
nedy _did not regard profitmaking as the most esteemed of
v~ttons: Brought up in a family of millionnaires and a
millionnai.re himself, he was not impressed by other million-
naires, nor did he consider the successful businessman the most
admirable of beings. He liked to quote from Dr. Johnson :
" A _merchant's desire is not of glory but of gain ; not of
pubhc wealth, but of private emulument ; he is therefore
rar:ly to be. consulted on questions of war or peace, or any
designs of wide extent and distant consequence. " He was well
aware of their power, but he did not trust the Titans. When
he became President h: declared, " Taken individually, labor
leaders are often mediocre and egotistical, but labor as a
whole generally adopts intelligent positions on important piob-
le~. On the other hand, businessmen are often individually
e~ghtened but collectively hopeless in the field of national
policy. "
Eisenhower sought out the Titans, respected their advice, and
treated them as they thought they deserved to be treated _ in
other ~ords, as representatives of the most influential body in
the nation. Kennedy kept his distance. Prior to his election he
~ad had li~tle contact with industrial circles, and once he was
tn the White House he saw even less of them. Businessmen
were gener~ly excluded from the Kennedys' private parties.
Not _only did . he " snub " them (in the words of Ralph
Cordmer, President of General Electric), he also attacked
them. Kennedy did not consult the business world before
making his appointments. The men he placed at the head of
the federal regulatory agencies were entirely new.2 Since the
end of the war, the businessmen had become accustomed to
consi~e~ing these bodies as adjuncts of their own professional
associations. :Oey were more indignant than surprised. They
attempted to mtervene, but in vain. The President had a mind
of his own.
In January, 1961, the nation seemed stable and prosperous.
BUSINESSMAN 157
The economy was suffering from a slight recession, but the
level of unemployment was considered acceptable3. But in his
first State of the Union Message on January 30, Kennedy
spoke of the changes needed in terms that seemed to echo the
words of Franklin D. Roosevelt as be inaugurated the New
Deal, at a time when the economy of the United States had
struck bottom and the Titans were nearly asphyxiated. " The
present state of our national economy is disturbing", he
began. He called for "urgent increases in federal expenditures
in the fields of housing, urban renewal, school construction,
medical research, and juvenile delinquency. He proposed a
new plan for the economic, social and cultural development of
foreign countries.
The President's policy towards Latin America alarmed the
businessmen even more than it worried the Pentagon and the
diplomatists. The business world foresaw the economic con-
sequences of the President's foreign policies. In Strategy of
Peace, he had written:
" Just as we must recall our own revolutionary past in
order to understand the spirit and the significance of the anti-
colonialist uprisings in Asia and Africa, we should now reread
the life of Simon Bolivar, the great ' Liberator ' of South
America... in order to comprehend the new contagion for
liberty and reform now spreading south of our borders ...
"Fidel Castro is part of the legacy of Bolivar, who led his
men over the Andes Mountains, vowing ' war to the death '
against Spanish rule, saying, ' Where a goat can pass, so can
an army '. Castro is also part of the frustation of that earlier
revolution which won its war against Spain but left largely
1. In 1902, Teddy Roosevelt had designated the Administra-
tion (later to become the Pentagon), the lobbyists, and organized
finance as " public enemies of the nation ". Frank.Jin D . Roose-
velt declared that " Private enterprise is a public service. "
2. William Cary was appointed to head the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, Newton Minow as Chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission, Frank McGulloch to the National
Labor Relations Board, Joseph Swidler to the Federal Power
Commission, and Paul R. Dixon as Chairman of the Federal

CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY INTO
POLITICAL ASSASSINATION .S· (CCCI.PA)
September "24, 1976

Hon • . Thomas N. Downing

Chairman .
·select Committee on Assassinations
U.S~ House of Representatives
2135 Rayburn House .Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Chairman Downing:

We are writing you on behalf of the membership of the Citizen's
Campaign for a Congressional Inquiry into Political Assassina-
. tions, a nation-wide organization of citizens seeking a thorough
and open investigation 'of political assassinations in the U.S.
We wish to congratulate you and the members of the House Select
Committee on the important duties which you have undertaken. We
feel -that it is crucial that your investigation be a successfu,l
one, and that the truth of the John F. Kenriedy and Martin Luther
King assassinations be found.
From a review of the nine previous governmental inquiries into
these assassinations, it is possible to isolate several impor-
tant factors which are needed if any new investigation in this
area is to succeed. Perhaps paramount among these is the selec-
tion of committee staff on the basis of professional competence
and public credibility. It is with this in mind that we wish to
_exp_ress our deep concern over reports that· Bernard Fensterwald,
Esq., is being considered for the position of Chief Counsel and
Staff Director of the Committee. There are grounds which seri-
ously impair Mr. Fensterwald's fitness for this post. Briefly
stated, the major grounds are:

• 1973 Watergate Testimony . ."on May 24, 1973, Gerald

Alch, Esq., an associate of F. Lee Bailey and attorney to James
McCord, testified before the Senate Watergate Committee that the
Committee to Investigate Assassinations, a private group headed
by Mr. Fensterwald, had received monies from McCord Associates
an investigative firm headed by Mr. McCord, a Watergate burgla~
and former CIA agent. The monies, in the form of checks 1 were
cashed at t~e C~mmitt7e to Investigate Assassinations by Lew
Russell, chief investigator for the House Unamerican Activities
Committee. Mr. Russell died on July 3, 1973 before he could be

questioned by the Ervin Committee. Although Mr. Fensterwald

has denied Al ch.' s testimony, Alch has offered to take a lie de-
tector test to verify it. While the Ervin Committee did not
pursue this matter, Mr. Alch's testimony does raise initial
questions as to the independence of Mr. Fensterwald's activities
in the assassination field, and as to a possible relationship
between the Committee to Investigate Assassinations, McCord As-
sociates, and conceivably the CIA. · ·

. 1965 Senate Subcommittee on the Invasion of Privacy.

rn 1965, Mr. Fensterwald was Chief Counsel for this Senate sub-
committee, chaired by Senator Edward Long of Missouri. Serious
analysts of the subcommittee's work have concluded that the
______ func.tional e.f_fe.c.t_of_t:he s.ubC..Q.Ill)1li_tY,_~w~to_ th,.,:art _the _on::.goigg
Department of Justice investigation of organized crime. This
conclusion is documented in Hank Messick's books, HOOVER and
SECRET FILES, in Michael Dorman's book PAY-OFF, and in two arti-
cles by William Lambert in the May 26, 1967 and November 6, 1967
issues of Life Magazine. Before any serious consideration of
Mi:. Fensterwald as Chief Counsel, your Committee should be ap-
praised of whether in fact the Long subcommittee did function to
protect organized crime interests from prosecution, and if so,
what Mr. Fensterwald's role in the subcommittee work might have
been.

1974 Martin Luther King Declarations. In recent

years, Mr. Fensterwald, acting through the Committee to Investi-
gate Assassinations, has made declarations to the press that
dramatic revelations would be made concerning specific assassi-
nations. For example, in 1974 Mr. Fen.sterwald announced that
unnamed men who were the actual assassins of Dr. King would
shortly step forward and name the wealthy industrialists who had
purportedly financed the assassination. In fact no such persons
have stepped forward. The functional effect of such unsubstan-
tiated dramatic declarations has been to undercut the public im-
pact of serious assassination research. To be effective, the
Chief Counsel of your Committee must work with discretion and
·-·~·-·-·:resp0ns{bilitY.- .There is ser:lousquestion as to whether Mr.-------·- -
Fensterwald' s untoward public declarations demonstrate these re-
quired qualities.
We would be happy to provide you with additional information, or
to expand on the information we have included here in summary
form, should you find ·it useful in your deliberations. ·We do
not in the s"lightest intend by this letter to impugn Mr. Fenster-
wald' s professional competence. These circumstances of Mr. Fen-
sterwald' s past, however, do cast doubt on. whether he would be
able to sustain the public credibility and confidence demanded of
·the .position of Chief Counsel. We urge you and your Committee to
search among a wide roster of talented professionals ·in deciding
on the position of Chief Counsel and Staff Director, and on the
composition .of your Committee staff.

Si>«lal to 11le Ntw York Times

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-1

A Senate investigating subcom-
n1ittee demanded today that the
Post Office Department pro·
duce the names of about 24,000
persons whose mail \Vas put
under special surveillance in
the last two years.
_The · department had pro-
tested · ~ a previous directive, de-
claring that such disclosures
could tip off suspects under in·
vestigation..
Spokesmen said that the dis-
closures·. could · also hurt many
persons who were innocent of
:~rongdoing but 'vho, perhaps
:as victims, \Vere helping lead
the \Vay to offenders.
Officials Study Demand
1 Senator Edward V. Long,
Democrat of 1\lissouri, \vho
1heads the Juaiciary subcommit-
1tee, gave the department a
l,veek to sub1nit the lists.
Post Office officials said to-
night they 'vere studying the
Senate group's den1and and had
reached no decision on \\,.hether
to comply.
The subcommittee is investi-
gating .possible invasions of the
privacy of individuals by Gov-
ernn1ent agencies. It is seeking 1
to define the admittedly thin
line that might separate legiti-:
1
·mate law-enf?rc~ment ac~iv.ities
.from unconstitutional snooping. .

had been of no use in the case.
Jvir. J.fontague noted that he
was familiar with the case and
that the judge had ruled that
the mail _cover had not violated
the defendant's rights.
Forms Are Destroyed
In questioning Mr. Montague,
~tr. Fenstenvald said that the
farm inspectors were asked to
fill out in connection \Vith mail
covers contained an order for-
bidding them to make copies of
the information obtained and
asking then1 to destroy the
original form after l\vo years.
..Have you ever heard of any
other Government agencies de-
stroying records after two
years?" he asked l\lr, )lonta·
lgue.
I ltlr. . irontague replied that
there was no ''ulterior motive',
in destroying the records.
No duplicates were kept, be
said, in an effort to prevent the
information from falling into
the hands of unauthorized per-
sons. He added that the records
\Vere destroyed after two years
because the information had by
1
that time · already been trans-
mitted to \vhatever agency had
requested _the mail cover.
};fr. Fenstervlald then sug-
gested that in the future the
department keep the records "so
that they will be available to
the defense in any trial.,.

PAST ACTIONS DEFENDED

But Senators Will Seek Law

to Prohibit Practice They
Say Is Unconstitutional

By E. \V. KEN\VORTHY
Special to The New York Tlmes

'VASHINGTON, April 13-

The Treasurv• and Post Office
Departments agreed \Vith an
irate Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee today that the guaran-
tees of the Constitution should
take precedence over the diffi.
culties of lhe Internal Revenue
Service \vith '~flagrant'' tax-
eva.ders. · l

In a hearing before the sub·

committee on administrathre
practices and procedures, Har·
vey H. Hannah, deputy general
counsel of the Post Office, ad·
mitted that it \Vas "\vrong'' for
the · Post Office to seize the
first-class mail of hardened tax·
resisters and turn it over to the
Internal Revenue Service.
"\Ve've been doing it \Vrong,
no question about it,'' 1'1r. Han-
nah said.
And in a letter to Senator Ed-
\vard l. Long, \Vhich \Vas put
T1

into the record, Postmaster Gen-

eral John A. Gronouski said
that \Vhile ''existing lav/' :per-
mitted the ''levy'' of such n1ail
by the Internal Revenue Sen'-
ice, he thought the la\\" should
be changed ''because of the
over-riding importance of pro-
tecting the sanctity of the
mails.''
Prohibition to Be Sought
l\Ir. Gronouski said he had
discussed this \vith Secretary of
the Treasury Henry H. Fo\vler,
\\'ho advised 1\tr. Gronouski that
"he \Vould not object to a
change in the la\v \Vhich \\~oulcl
specifically exempt n1ail f ron1
property that can be seized
[to satisfy a tax claim]."
Senator Long, Democrat of
?vHssouri \vho is the subcommit ..
tee chairman, and Senator
Quentin N. Burdick, Democrat
of North Dakota, did not agree
\Vith 1[r. Gronouski that the
law· permitted such seizures.
But they heartily agreed there
·should be specific legislation to
prohibit it, and ~Ir. Long pron1-
ised it \\'OUld be shortly intro..
duced.
The issue arose as a result of
inquiries addressed to the Post
Office and the Internal Revenue
Service by Representative Dur-
v:ard G. Hall, Republican of
l\fissouri. after receiving infor-
mation fron1 a constituent that
nlail \Vas being seized by postal
officials and turned over to the
revenue service.
In reply, J\Ir. Hannah and
Sheldon S. Cohen. Con1n1ission-
er of Internal Revenue, con ..
firmed that such seizures had
taken place, but saici that by
agreement of l\Ir. Gronouski
and Douglas Dillon. farmer
Secretary of the Trea~ury, the
practice had ceased after Au·
gust, 1964.
Seizure ('allPd Le~at
:i.rr. Hannah and l\l r. Grn·
nouski based their assertion
'that seizures \Vere legal on l\FO
sections of the tax code. l\Ir,
Hannah argued that private
mail \VaS ' nQt an1ong the Clas~S

seizure for the collection of

taxes. He said the revenue serv-
ice therefore had statutory au-
tho1ity to order the seizures.
!vlr. Hall said it \Vas ''\varped
and tortuous reasoning" to con-
tend that since Congress did not
exclude n1ail seizure. it thereby
authorized it. Cornelius Ken-
ned\P counsel for the n1inoritv,
"' J
read the Fourth An1endn1ent to
the Constitution, \Vhich prohib-
its unreasonable searches and
seizures and requires a search
\Varrant.
Bernard Fenster\vald, the
subcommittee counsel, asked
\VhV the Post Office Depart...
nlent had not obtained a search
\Varrant before seizing mail.
l\fr. Hannah said it had not
been believed necessary "be-
cause of the authoritv of the ~

Internal Revenue Service,"

\\rhich maintained that the no-
tice of seizure had "the san1e
authoritv as a search \varrant."
It \\·as repeatedly pointed out
to 2\Ir. Hannah that Section 4057
of Title 39 of the United States
Code states that only .an eni...
ploye of the dead letter office
or a person holding a search
warrant may open first class
mail that is in the custody of
the Post Office Department.

THE INTRUDERS: The Invasion of Privacy

By ALAN WESTIN
EADERS of the Congressional
R Reco1·d. and regular visitors to
the Senate chamber during the past
three years have grown accustomed
to a rather special bit of ritual. A
short, stocky man wee.ring rin1less
glasses and smiling almost pixieishly
is recognized .by the chair. "Mr. Presi-
dent,'' it.he man announces tartly, "my
Big Brother item for today is. . . .''

dividuals by government and indus-

insertion comes the Senator's favor-
ite question: "Mr. President, how far
will Big Brother be allowed to go
in America?"
Senator Long's Big Brother items
sometimes come from the press or
from magazines in the field of tech-
nology, law and the social sciences.
But .the majority of them ai•e prod-
ucts of hearings on invasion of pri-
vacy held since 1964 by the Sub-
committee on Administrative Practice
and Procedure of the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee, of which Senator
Long is chairman. Now the Senator
has produced a book reporting the
main findings of these hearings, a
full-dress parade of government tap-
pers, private eyes, corporate sleuths
and private voyeurs, with well cho-
sen illustrations to show how omi-
nously ·wide and unrest1icted i':l the

gressional conunlttee. in the
1950's or early 1960's had ever
been able to pry this account
from Federal agencies •. and
make it- public. . Long subcommittee staff move
First, the subcon1mlttee's
talented chief investigator, Ray-
mond C. Cole Jr., snf!ffed around
law enforcement circles · and
talked to the nation's leading
· private wiretapping experts.
Since Federal agencies must
bU¥ their equipment with
Government funds supervised by
Congress, Fensterwald obta.Uled
the lists Of listening and re-
coNling equipment approved by
the General ACcounting Office
for Federal procurement. The
subcommittee then wrote each
manufacturer and asked which
Federal agencies ·the equip-
ment had been sold to. Armed
with this information . (a few
threats cf subpoenas were
necessary to get the tacts), the
subcommittee then wrote each
· Federal· ag~ncy which had pur-
cha.Sed the equipment and asked
for a report on the use being
made of it. The choice was ei-
ther to respond or else to con-
tend that the equipment was
not being used at all, an ad-
mission of waste that no Fed-
eral agency would be likely to
make to Congress.
To supplement this line of
attack, the subcommittee also
drew up a general. question-
naire asking each major Fed-
eral agency (apart from the
F~B.I., military intelltgen~e, and
C.I.A.) to list all the eaves-
dropping equipment it owned
and describe how it was being
used. Since the word was out in
Washington that the Long sub·
committee had already been to
· the suppliers. the pressure was ·
on the Federal ag~nclcs to give
accurate replies. Only when
these questionnaire reports and
some stormy interviews with
Federal agency spokesmen had
pro\rfdcd them with a clear pic-
ture of Federal use did· the
to public he¥iJ1gs in 1964.
With a well-developed sense
of political timing, the Long ·.
subcommittee did not start its ·
hearings by taking on that
fortress of influence on capitol
Hill, the F .B.I. Instead, it
opened its hearings with wire-
tapping and bugging practices
by the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice, a move guaranteed to trig-
ger spasms of alarm down the
spines of the nation's taxpay-
ers. The subcommittee then
moved to eavesdropping by the
Food and Drug Administration
(intensifying fears in the busl- ·
ness community) and to the
Post Office, whose "mall cov-

What "The Intruders" pro-
vides Is a collection of the Long
subcommittee data in one ban-
dy volume for Ute nonspecial-
lzed reader. The case against
unchecked government and in-
dustrial ime of electronic sur-
velllance is made particularly
well. Given the Senator's legal
and policy focus,'" the book gen-
erally takes it for granted that
Americans know what privacy
is and when it is improperly
invaded, though ~ese issues are
not always as simple when so-
cial lntere.~ are openly
weighed. In addition, there
could have been a more ex-
tended discussion of debate over
Jaw enforcement claims to the
need of certatn limited sur-
veillance powers, if only to ex-
plain the basis on which Sena-
tor Long rejects these argu-
ments.

DESPITE the points on which

one would have liked further
dlscussfon, the Senator's policy
suggestions on wiretapping and
eavesdropping controls are
carefully presented. and deserve
the most thoughtful considera-
tion from the press and Con-
gress. His position calls for lim-
iting Federal ''third - party''
wiretapping to a narrowly de-
fined set of national security
invesUgations (and forbidding
all use of wiretap evidence in
court) ; restricting Federal and
st.ate wiretapping to situations
in which one party to the con-
versaUon agrees to the moni-
toring; and providing a similar
·particlpant - approval limita-
tion on law-enforcement use of
bugging devices. In fact, this is
very close to the stand taken
by the Johnson Administration,
embodied in the Administration
bill just sent to Congress.
There are still knotty legal and
policy issues involved here, and
some observers will feel that
the better soluUon is a new
system of controls rather than
such a complete denial of eaves-
dropping authority in cases of
conspiracy and violent crime.
One hopes this wuc will be
fully discussed in Congressional
hearings on the proposed bills.
Since the Long subcommittee
is scheduled shortly to hold
such hearings (as well as hear-
ings on the J. Edgar Hoover-
Robert Kennedy dispute over
who authorized electronic
eavesdropping during the Ken-
nedy Administration), ·S enator
Long is sure to be well-supplied
with ''Big Brother Items" ln the
near fUture. Meanwhile, his
book ls a welcome source of
information showing how far
electronic eavesdropping has
spread in our society, and how
negligent our courts and legis-
latures have been ln not sup-
plying the necessary legal con-
trols to assure that the indi-
vidual's right . to privacy re-
ceives the same care as his
right to property.

 COUNSEL DEFENDS
MOTIVES OF LONG
Denies Wiretap Inquiry Was
Designed to Help Hoffa

By E. \V. KENWORTHY
Speclai to T~e N•iv York Times
WASHINGTON, May 21-
The chief counsel for · the Sen-
ate Subcommittee on Adminis-
trative Practice and Procedure
vigorously denied today that
Senator Edward V. Long, the
committee chairman, had un-
dertaken an investigation of
electronic eavesdropping by
Federal agencies in an effort to
keep James R. Hoffa out of
prison.
'l'he counsel, Bernard Fenster-
wald Jr., \Vho conducted the in·
vestigation, said in a telephone
interview:
"We have tried to stay out
of all cases in litigation. We
have stayed religiously clear of
the [Hoffa] case."
In an article that will appear
on newsstands
. tomorrow
. ' Life
magazine says that, as a result
of three months' investigation
of the relationship bet\veen Sen-
ator Long, Democrat of Mis-
souri, and Hoffa, president of
the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, it has concluded
the follo\ving:

The magazine article, 1vrl tten
by William Lambert, also states
that in 1963 and 1964 Senator
Long received $48.000 in fees
for referring cases to Morris A.
Shenker, a lawyer from ·St.
Louis, who is a. close friend of
the Senator and counsel for the
convicted Hoffa.
The disclosure of the refer·
ral fees, reported to have been
paid on a regular basis of $2,000
a month, 1vas also 1nade by The
St. Louis Post Dispatch in an
article today.

An article in .the current Life
magazine charges that Senator
Edward V. Long has used the
subcommittee. of which he· is
chainµan, · to try "to keep
Jimmy Hoffa out ·of pr:son:
subsequently. for trying to get
Hoffa's 'convictlon reversed.''
The charge \Vas denied yes-
terday by l'Ir. Long, The Mis-
souri Deinocrat said the article
\Vas the result of efforts by the
Internal Revenue Service to
''get· me., and the chief counsel
for the subcommittee, Bernard
Fenst~rwald Jr., for their dis-
closures on wiretapping by in-
ternal revenue agents.
The article also charges that
officials in the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, of
which Hoffa is president, in-
fluenced the Senator to take up
his investigation and that the
hearings blunte<.1 the Justice
Department•s drive against
crime by discrecli ting the work
of its agents.
Both Mr. Long and Mr. Fen-
sterwald denied the charges. ·
A spokesman for the Justice
Department said it had not in-
vestigated any connection the
subcommittee might have had
with the Hoffa case or with
other pending litigation. Hoffa
is serving eight years in prison
for jury tampering.
Some officials in the Justice
Department have said priv~tely
that some aspects of Mr.
Long's investigation may have
provided "aid and comfort,, tc
the Teamster leader. For ex·
ample, they note, the subcom·
nlittee investigated \viretapping
in Detroit after the wiretapping
\Vas alleged in a suit by a
Hoffa lawyer, Williatn Bufa-.
lino. .
Nevertheless, this is not the
official vie\V ofthe departmen l.
The spokesman said there 'vas
no evidence of any "direct in-
terference by the subcommit-
tee or its staff" in the Hoffa
prosecution.
Meanwhile, the Senate Select
Committee on Standards anc·
Conduct noted the allegations
by Life magazine, although
committee members declined tc
comment. The chairman, Johr.
C. Stennis, Democrat of Missis·
sippi, and Wallace F. Bennett.
Republican of Utah, were re~
ported to have discussed thr
-.rticle. ·
One matter of concern to the
committee is the disclosure in
Life that Senator Long, a lawyer,
received $48,000 in fees for re-
f erring cases to Morris A.
Schenker, a St. Louis lawyer.
in 1963 and 1964.
Mr. Schenker is a close
friend of Senator Long and
has served as counsel for
Hoffa.
Senator Long conceded that
he had received the money and
said he did not ''find fault" with
a. statement by the magazine
that it was paid in installments
of $2,000 a month. .
But he said there was noth-:
ing wrong with this and that
he had been consulted on the
case and performed some legal
work to earn the fee.

 RETALIATION MOVE
CHARGED BY LONG
TO TAX OFFICIALS
Senator Says 1.R.S., Vexed
by Wiretap Inquiry, Was
Behind Report of Fees

CONCEDES HE GOT FUNDS

But Insists $48,000 Frorn

Hoffa Counsel Was Paid
for Referral of Cases

By DOUGLAS E. l\NEELAND
Special to The :\ew York 'l'tmes
ST. LOUIS, May 21-Senator
Edward V. Long of Missouri 1
accused the Internal Revenue
Service today of trying to "get
ine" in retaliation for his inves-
tigation of the agency's use of
wiretapping.
Mr. Long, a Democrat, said
that the tax agency \Vas behind
reports published in Life maga-
zine and The st. Louis Post-
Dispa tch that he had received
$48,000 over two years from a
counsel for James R. Hoffa, the
Teamster president convicted of
jury tampering and sentenced· to
prison.
The 58-year-old Senator is
chairman of the Senate Sub-
committee on Administrative
Practice and Procedure, which
for three years has been inves-
tigating alleged invasion of
privacy by Federal agencies.
The hearings have focused pri-
marily on the Post Office. De-
partment and the Internal Rev-
enue Service and their use of
wiretapping and other methods
to obtain information.
''This type of investigation
steps on some toes," the Sena-
.tor said in a telephone in tcr-
view from his 2,500-acre farn1
at Clarksville, Mo., about 60
miles up the Mississippi from
st. Louis. ''Some Of the Internal
Revenue boys are very vicious
and they've said they would get
me. But this is not the way to
do it."
'There's Just N othlng to It'
"You can check all the way
baclc through those hearings
records and there's not one \vo'rd
that gives aid or comfort to
Hoffa i11 any way,'' he said.
"There's just nothing to it."
In reply to a question after
emerging from a television in-/
terview here this evening, the
Senator said that the Internal
Revenue Service had audited
his records last October.
"I would say that they
checked my books very thor-
oughly for 1963 and 1964,'' he
~aid \Vith a smile, '•But there's
very little in controversy, only
a few hundred dollars, and if
it comes out the way I think,
they'll owe me money."
The Life article, which ap-
pears in the issue dated May 26,
accuses the Senator of having
'misused his Senate subcommit..
ee" in a \Vay that benefited
Hoffa.
The Teamster leader has con-
ended that some of the · evi-
dence leading to his conviction

was an1assed by wiretapping. 1
The Post-Dispatch made no
accusation, limiting itself to re·
porting that many Federal
agencies had regarded the Long
inquiries as a handicap to their
efforts to combat organized
crime and· tax evaders and as1

· Senator Long conceded on the '
telephone this morning that
he had received the $48,000 fro1n
Morris A. Shenker, a prominent
St. Louis crin1inal lawyer \vho
last year became chief .counsel
for Hoffa. The Senator added,
however, that the payments
were his fees for cases he had
referred to the Shenker firn1.
·Mr. Shenker a.greed, adding
that Senator Long was still re-
ceiving payments. He declined
to discuss specific cases or
amounts paid, but said he was
not "finding fault" with the
published figure of $2,000 a
month for 1963 and 1964.
Declaring that no one had
got that figure from him or
from SenatC>r LC>ng, he sug-
gested that the Internal Re-
venue Service had provided it.
"I was led to believe by Ted
Link that Life magazine got
their figure front I.R.S., \Vhieh
is a very peculiar situation in
itself," he said.
Theodore C. Link is the re-
porter 1vho 1vrote the article
for The Post-Dispatch, Mr.
Shenker said that no one from
Life had approached hin1 or any
meln ber of his firm.
Charges S1near Atempt
"I've never heard fro111 Life
nagazine," he said. "That's the
.east they could have done.
:>bviously, sontebody is trying
;o sinea.r the Senator. A earn·
paign is coining on. Somebody
iS trying to put 11. sinister in·
lerpretatlon on this."
Senator Long, a former Lieu-
tenant Governor of Missouri,
1vas appointed to fill an unex-
pired Senate tenn in 1960. He
1vas elected in 1962 and faces
:i. re-election campaign next
year.
Neither he nor llfr. Shenker
look serious issue iVith The
Post-Dispatch's article, which
carried their denials that there
was anything unusual in the
referral fee arrangement or
that any conflict of interest
was involved.
Although he said he had not
read the Life account,. Senator
Long disputed so1ne portions of
it that had been quoted to hin1
indirect!;1r.
He said that hr.t had never
denied having r::ceived money
fro1n :rirr. Shenker.
Referring to the Life inter-
vie1ver, Senator Long declared:
"What he said was that I got
111oney from Shenker that 1vas
coming fron1 Hoffa. Hell, yes, I
denied that and I still do. That
was the implication of his ques-
tion, at least.
"I very definitely deny that
Hoffa ever 'gave me $24.'ooo or
24' cents either directly or indi-
rectly."
The portion of the Life arti-
cle dealing willi t11e Long
denial is in the form of an ex-
change bel\veen the interviewer
and Senator Long. It reads as
follows:

 Excerpts From Testimonv Before Senate· Panel Investi~atin~ Water~ate· Case
Sptolal to The New York 'nmu
WASHINGTON, May 23-
Following are excerpts from
a transcript of testimony by
John J. Caulfield and Anthony
T. Ulasewicz in the fourth
day of hearings on the Water-
gate case by the Senate
··select Committee on Presi-
. dential Campaign Activities;
and excerpts from a prepared
statement to the committee
·by Gerald Alch, along with
transcripts of his reading of
.· certain documents that he in-
terpolated into his statement:
MORNING
SESSION
John J. Caulfield
MR. DASH. Although you
. state that you made no men-
tion of the President to Mr.
. McCord during the meeting,
you do know, do you not,
that the President is the only
. person in this country who
can grant executive clemency
in a Federal criminal matter?
MR. CAULFIELD. Yes, sir,
I do.
Q. Did you understand when
you were speaking with Mr.
Dean that Mr. Dean wanted
. you to transn1it the message
to Mr. McCord that the offer
of executive clemency was
made with the proper author-
. ? A . y es, sir.
. That is correct. And also that on June 17? A. Yes, sir.
ity.
Q. Was it your intention
during your meetings with
Mr. McCord to leave him with
the clear understanding that
persons with authority to
make such a representation
as to executive clemency
·were in fact extending this
· offer to him?
A. Yes, sir. But, of course, I
have not and did not at that
time have any direct knowl-
edge that the President had
made such an offer, endorsed
such an offer, or in any way
was involved in that offer.
·. Q. And was it your under-
standing, especially with the
discussions you had with Mr.
Dean, that there was serious
concern at the White House,
at least Mr. Dean was con-·
veying to you, involving a
possible scandal-that there
was a real effort to get Mr.
McCord to accept this offer
because of the concern or
trouble that probably he
might be able to raise in the
Watergate case?
A. That was my clear im-
.pression, Mr. Dash, yes, sir.
MR. THOMPSON. As you
were talking to [McCord]
about the possibility of ex-
ecutive clemency and he was
responding to you, what
would you say, according to
what he told you, his pri-
mary interest was?
· A. Very frankly, sir, as I
reflect back upon the con-
versation, it is very clear in
my mind that Jim McCord
was concerned about his
'
freedom and was taking the
steps that he believed to gain
that freedom totally. He was
uninterested in any deals of
a year is a long time or other
statements like that.
Q. In other words, he was
not necessarily disinterested
in any deals, but he was not
interested in any deals that
'vould not produce his free-
dom. Is that a correct state-
ment? A. That is correct.
Ties to Ehrliehman
. Q. Let nle ask you about
your relationship with Mr.
Ehrlichman for just a few
1noments. How long did you
work for Mr. Ehrlichman
'vhen he was counsel for the
President?
A. From the day that I ar-
rived at the White House on
April 8, 1969, fonnally,
through July, '70, when Mr.
Ehrlichman moved over to
the Domestic Council, and
then on a informal basis
from that time until the time
I worked at the White House.
Q. Then after Mr. Ehrlich-
man left the office of counsel
for the President, Mr. Dean
was his successor, is that
correct? A. Yes sir.
Q. You remained, then, un-
der Mr. Dean, is that correct?
A. That is right.
Q. Did you have any con-
tact or any continuing rela-
tionship with Mr. Ehrlichman
after Mr. Ehrlichman left to
go to the office of domestic
affairs? A. Well, only on rare
peripheral matters relative to
the investigations that I indi-
cated in my statement.
Q. And while you were
working for Mr. Ehrlichman
directly, as I understand it,
you had possibly more than
one function, with one of
those to carry out certain in-
vestigations? A. Yes, I had
many other functions, sir, but
that was one small part of
my duties at the White
House.
Q. And you continued to
do some of these matters for
him pursuant to his direc-
tions after you left that of-
fice? A. On very rare occa-
sions, sir.
Q. Would you on some oc-
casions act as an intermedi-
ary between Mr. Ehrlichman
and Tony Ulasewicz, for jobs
which Mr. Ulasewicz would
do? A. Yes sir.
Q. Would you say that
would be on frequent occa-
sions? A. That would be in-
frequent after July of 1970.
Q. Occasionally. A. Oh, yes;
yes sir. ·
Q. Now, Mr. Caulfield, in
your statement here, you
state that you were guess-
ing that Mr. Dean probably
was referring to Mr. Ehrlich-
man when he referred to
high White House sources?
A. Yes, that was my guess.
Q. What would you say
was the relationship between
Mr. Dean and Mr. Ehrlichman
during this period of time?
Did Mr. Dean in many mat-
ters, in effect, report to Mr.
Ehrlichman? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Or answer to Mr. Erlich-
man? A. Yes, sir, on many
matters having to do with
Mr. Dean's work as well.
Q. Did you ever talk with
Mr. Ehrlichman about this
matter, this business of pos-
sible executive clemency for
Mr. McCord with anyone?
A. No, sir. . Q. You mentioned that it again to it, now being asked mate the tough-mindedness
Q. Did you ever talk to
anyone there at the White
House besides Mr. Dean? A.
Absolutely no one but Mr.
John Dean.
SENATOR MONTOYA. Did
you ever get paid from the
President's attorney? A. No,
•
sir.
Q. Were you working or
being paid from the payroll
attributable to the Depart-
ment of the Treasury or to
the White House? A. The
White House payroll, sir.
Haldeman Assignments
Q. Did Mr. Haldeman as-
sign things to you? A. On
only one or two occasions
that I could recall, Senator.
Very rarely; in fact, almost
never.
Q. Let me read aa exten:l-
ed text. On Page 9: "About
10 o'clock A.M. on Thurs-
day, Jan. 25, 1973, in a
meeting lasting until about
12:30 A.M., we drove in his
car toward Warrenton, \'a.,
and returned and a conversa-
tion ensued which repeated
the offers of executive clem-
ency and financial support
while in prison and rehabil-
itation later. I refused to dis-
cuss it. He stated that I was
fouling up the game plan. I
made a few comments about
the game plan." You recall
that?
A. No sir, I do not. As i
indicated in my statement,

 ALCH SUGGEST~
3TAKE LIE TEST
Urges at Rigorous Hearing
That He, Fensterwald,
M'Cord Be Subjects

By DAVID E. ROSENBAUM
S~clal to The ~tw York ~.r!m~s
WASHINGTON, May 24-Un-
der aggressive and at times
hostile questioning from the
Senate Watergate con1mittee1
Gerald Alch, the original law-
yer for James W. McCord Jr.,
suggested today that he, Mc-
Cord and McCord's present ,
lawyer take lie-detector tests to
see \vho was telling the truth.
But the coanmittee's chair-
n1an, Senator Sam J. Ervin Jr.,
objected to the idea, calling
such tests "20th.century \Vitch'!
craft," and McCord's present
lawyer, Bernard Fensterwald,
said that he and McCord would
not take the tests ''because 1
have no faith in them.,.
However, Mr. Fensterwald t
said later that if the committee
ordered every witness to take a
polygraph test, "I \Vill, too.0
Mr. Alch did not deviate from
the basic points he made in his
long state1ncnt to the commit..
tee yesterday:
f:JHe did not, as McCord has
contended, try to persuade Mc ..
Cord to say that the Watergate
burglary was an operation of
the Central Intelligence Agency
or tell McCord that McCord's
C.I.A. records could be altered·
·to support the claim.
t]He did not tell McCord that
the convicted burglar could re·
ceive executive clemency if he
kept silent about the Watergate·
case.
liMr. Fenster\vald told him in
a telephone conversation after
McCord had been co11victed in
January that ''\ve're going after
the President of the United
States."
Contrasting Testimony
:'
The first t\vo points \Vere in .
direct contrast with McCord's
·1testimony earlier this week.
: The final point was denied by
··Mr. Fensterwald yesterday but .
'vas not mentioned in a state-
. 111ent he filed \Vith the commit-
. tee this morning.
. Senator
Ervin, a Norlh .
L Carolina Democrat, asked Mr. .
· Fensterwatd to submit the
t statement so that the commit·
· tee could decide \vhether to
· call him as a formal witness
later.
J In statement. Mr.
t11e
, Fensterald maintained that he
t had taken McCord as a client ·
~ after McCord,s conviction and .
had helped· him. raise bail be ..
: cause McCord asked him to be
. his lawyer and because he
• thought the $100,000 bail set .
: for McCord's release pending .
. sentencing was excessive.
. · The Senators on the comnltt-
,1 tee subjected Mr. Alch to the :
most rigorous questioning of ·
· any \Vitness at the hear- .
~ ings thus far. Mr. Alch, a de-
: fense lawyer with a national .
reputation, is an associate of ·
.1an even m~re famous lawyer,
·IF. Lee Bailey. He repeatedly .
• 1referred to the committee as
~I "this honorable committee.'~
Mr. Alch was kept on the
· defensive through much of his
testimony this morning. .
Senator Howard R. Baker Jr.
of Tennessee, the ranking Re- :
: publican on the committee,
picked up quickly on a com-
ment of Mr•. Alch's that he al·
. ways left to his client the deci-
. sion of whether to plead guilty
! or 11ot guilty.
''I. admire your rectitude in
that respect,,, Senator Baker
. remarked, "but I doubt your .
· judgment. And I really \Yonder
- and I put this to you in
. a very blunt and in a very. ·
. very cruel way - I really
: wonder if there is not a bal-
: ancing judgment to be made in
; the minds of the expert re-
~ tained as counsel to advise him
. of his rights."
· 'Nothing. at Stake'
Senator Joseph M. Montoya,
. Democrat of New Mexico, told
Mr. Alch that McCord, having
already been convicted, uhas
nothing at stake now except
· waiting for the mercy of the
judge in the sentencing pro-
cedure."
On the other hand, Senator
Montoya said, "you have an
interest in trying to dispel the
veracity of Mr. McCord•s alle·
gations in that, if they would
be found to be true or
credible, you would be subject
to some reprisals from some
grievance committee or from
a court." ·
Senator· Montoya was
referring to that fact that· ff
Alch had really tried to
persuade McCord to concoct
a defense based on the C.l.A••
he could be subject to legal
sanctions.
But the real showdown of
the morning came when Sena·
tor Ervi·n challenged Mr. Alch•s
belief in the accuracy of lie-
dctector tests.
Senator Ervin l1as several
times prepared legislation that
\Vou1d outla\V the use of such
·ievices in certain circumstances.
Mr. Alch has used lie-detectors

 ference was being held on "a
CIA campus," a referPnce to
CIA-sponsored resParch that
has been carried out at I
Georgetown, and suggested
that at least two prominent.
OTIA members have ridden,
CIA ties.
One of th1> panelists, Dr.
Richard Popkin, rofessor of
philosophy at Wa,shington Uni-
versity at St. ouis, said that ::-....
many other countries have
had political assassination con-
spiracies, et American offi-
cials here would have the na-
tion be ·eve that the assassi-
. nations of the last decade
have been carried out by "a
lone nut." Popkin said the
Watergate affair, with its
" nspiracy to re-elect the
resident," should convince
Americans once and for all
that conspiracies do exist and
that President Kennedy was
the victim of one.
Although none of the panel-
ists dealt specifically in their
prepared remarks with links
between Watergate and PrE-si-
dent Kennedy's murder, vari-
ous members of t he audience
cqntended that there may ex-
ist evidence to show that per-
sons arrested in the break-in
at Democratic Headquarters
in the Watergate also were in
Dallas on the day of Mr. Ken-
nedy's assassination.
Ramparts magazine and
many underground and smaller
circulation publications have
suggested in recent months
that there may be direct
links between the Dallas shoot·
ing .and the Water:gate affair
but, as some members of the
audience said yesterday, the
major news media have ig-
nored this possible connection.
Peter Dale Scott, author and
professor at the University of
California at Berkeley, said
there were "lessons of Water-
gate" that shoutd be applied
to examining what he said was
the "cover-up" of the facts
about the Kennedy assassina-
tion.
The Watergate affair also
showed, he said, that the per-
sons involved in the cover-up
need not necessarily have
been involved in the original
crime. He said he suspects
this was the case in the inves-
tigation of Mr. Kennedy's
murder.
In a morning panel discus-
sion, authors of various books
and articles on political assas-
sinations expressed frustrat-
ion over not being able to in-
terest major news media in
newly discovered evidence or
theories relating to the polit-
ical murders and attempted
murders.
Although so.me panelists
said they felt there was a new
willingness by the news media
to do more investigative re-
porting as a result of the
Watergate affair, othPrs said
there was still a strong reluc-
tance in the media to re-open
investigations of assassina·
tiona.

A myriad of conspiracy the-
ories, including one attempt-
ing to link the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy to
some of the figures involved
in the Watepgate affair, were
raised yesterday on the con-
cluding day of p. two-day con-
fere:ice here on political assas-
sinations of the last decade.
Various theorists at the con-
ference at Georgetown Uni-
versity's Gaston Hall attrib-
uted President Kennedy's as-
sassination to or g a n i zed
crime, the CIA, anti-Castro
Cu bans, big businessmen, the
late President Lyndon B.
Johnson, soldiers of fortune OF
combinations of these ele-
ments.
In most instances, the theo-
ries were old ones brought up
to date. While some theorists
exonerated Lee Harvey Os-
wald of the assassination of
President Kennedy, others
said Oswald may have been a
minor figure in a large con-
spiracy.
What was different about
the discussions from those ot
earlier years was the apparent
widespread feeling that the
Watergate affair and cover-up
had links to President Kenne-
dy's assassination in Dallas 10
years a.go last Thursday.
Although the conference
sponsor, the private, Wasbing-
ton-based Committee to Inves-
tigate Assassinations (CTIAJ,
had not listed Watergate on
its program, the issue was
brought up yesterday after-
noon by Chicago-based gadfly
Sherman Skolnick, who was in
the audi•nce. A sizable por-
tion of the audience of about
200 persons appeared to sup.
port Skolnick's successful ef.
fort to put Watergate on the
agenda.

Six weeks before the assassination of
President Kennedy on November• 22,
1963, the Central Intelligence Agency .
sent the following teletype message to
the Federal Bureau of · Investigation
and the Departments of State and the
Navy:
Subject: Lee Henry OSWALD
I. On I October 1963 a reliable
and sensitive source in Mexico
reported that an American male,
who identified himself as Lee
-e- OSWALD, contacted the Soviet
Embassy in Mexico City inquiring
whether the Embassy had received
any news concernir.g a telegram
which had been sent to Washing-
ton. The American was described
as approximately 35 years old,
with an athletic build, about six
feet tall, with a receding hairline.
. 2. It is believed that OSWALD
may be identical to Lee · Henry
OSWALD, born on 18 October
1939 in New Orleans, Louisiana. A
former U.S. Marine who defected
to the Soviet Union in October
1959 and later made arrangement
through the United States- Em-
bassy in Moscow to return . to the
United States with his Russian-
born wife, Marina Nikolaevna
; Pusak.~va, and the~ child.

" sometime between July 1, 1963 and
Sitice Oswald had served in the
Marine Corps, which comes under the
administration of the Navy, his person-
nel records would have included his
photograph.
What the Agency did not say in this.
cable is that it had in its possession a
photograph of the man who had
apparently "identified himself' as Os-
wald. The man in the CIA photo was
not Lee Harvey Oswald; he was, just as
the Agency's "reliable and sensitive
source" had ·described, him, approxi-
mately thirty-five years old, with an
athletic build and a receding hairline.
According to a memorandum by
Helms, the CIA never received the
Navy's pictures of Oswald •and only
concluded after the . assassination that
two different people were involved. 5
Meanwhile, the photograph . was. deliv-
ered . to the FBI on November 22,

at the time, might have been associated
with Oswald." 9 The Report quoted an
affidavit by Richard Helms that "the
original photograph had been taken by
the .CIA outside of the United States
November 22, 1963." 1 0 .
The Commission's explanation is
both inaccurate and misleading. The
implication that the CIA thought the ·
mystery man was "associated with
Oswald" only masks the true situation.
On the basis of its own evidence, the
Agency must have concluded either
that the mystery man was imperson-
ating Oswald or that an unlikely chain
of errors had accidentally linked both
the man in the photograph and the
man who "co)ltacted" the Soviet Em-
bassy to Lee Harvey Oswald.
The truth was further obscured by
the Report's reference to the Helms
affidavit, which described the circum-
stances in which the mystery man was
photographed only in the most vague
and general terms. The affidavit was
dated August 7, 1964. 1 1 However, the -
Commission never mentioned in its
Report or in its twenty-six supplementa-
ry volumes that ·it had obtained an
.earlier affidavit from Helms on July 22,
1964 in which he was much more
specific.1 2 "The original photograph,"
Helms testified, "was taken in Mexico
·city"~ un _Octobe.r 4, 1963." 13 (This
e:irlier Helms :lffidavit was ~sed in

, ...
one of the ·commission's legal ·staff
who recalled the incident. said he He·.
had asked Raymond G. Rocca, the
Agency's liaison with the • Commis-
sion, 16 about the photogr!lph. The law- .
yer later received word from the A~~ncy
that the mystery man was though~ to be
Oswald at the time the photograph was
given to the FBL. Why, he asked, ..did
the Agency mistake someone so dis-
similar in appearance for Lee Harvey
Oswald? The CIA said they_ would
check further and call !Um back. The
lawyer told Epstein that they never
called him back and the Warren Report
contains no explanation of the Agen-
cy's mistake.~ 7
Another piece of the puzzle fell into
place early in 1971, when the National
Archives released a previously classified
memorandum about the mystery man
from Richard Helms to the · Comrnis-
sion 's general counsel, J. Lee Rank-
in. 1 8 Dated· March 24, 1964, - the.
memo informed Rankin:
On 22 and · 23 November, im-
mediately following the assassi-
nation of President Kennedy, three
cabled reports were received from

Soviet Embassies in that city dur-
mg October and November

photographs, then, of a
mysterious stranger who kept being
' confused with Lee Harvey Oswald, and
who had visited both the Soviet and
Cuban embassies. Was it the same
mystery man whose picture had .been
shown to Mrs. Oswald? Or was it yet
another Oswald Doppelgiinger?
Firm evidence of the existence of
additional · photographs of the unidenti-
fied man mentioned in · the Warren
~
&eport was turned up by Robert
Smith, a private researcher. In 1972
Smith , then research director for the
~ Commission to Investigate Assassina-
'-., tions, was poring over some 'recently
~ . _ declassified 'Warren Commission docu-
men,ts when he found reference to the
mystery photo and two other views of

'Veillance cameras, on at ' least two -
separate occasions. And neither or the .
new photographs reveals · any ' resem-
·blance · between the mystery man and
Lee Harvey os\vaid.
. The Warren Commis;aon concluded
that Os~ald had be'en in Mexico in late
September and early October 1963 .
Records of Mexican Customs and Im-
migration, bus lines, and a Mexico City
hotel indicate that Oswald entered
Mexico at Nuevo Laredo on the US
border on September 26, traveled by
bus to Mexico City, arriving there the
next morning, and returned to the
United States on October 3. 25 Passen-
gers on the bus to Mexico City
remembered Oswalc\,, but there is al-
most no eyewitness testimony to sup-
port the Commission's reconstruction
of Oswald's movements after he arrived
in that city. 26 The Commission's find-
ing that Oswald made repeated visits to
both the Soviet and Cuban embassies
rests heavily upon the affidavit of one
. deputy director of Mexican Federal
S_ecurity on . November 23, 1963, she
said that Oswald had visited the Cuban
Embassy . in late September to apply
for a visa _ to visit Cuba during a
planned trip to the Soviet Union. Mrs.
Duran recalled a heated exchange be-
tween Oswald and the Consul when
the Cuban official told him his request
could no t be granted immediately. She
remembered making, a "semiqfficiaJ"
phone call to the Soviet Embassy to
try to speed up action on Oswald's
application. She identified the Lee
Harvey Oswald who visited the Cuban
Embassy as the acc used assassin whose
photograph appeared in the Mexica n
newspapers on November 23 .29
Apparently the Warren Commission
staff did not interview Silvia Duran,
but instead relied solely on her affi-
davit. Whether any attempt to talk to
her was made is not ·recorded in any
available document. However, accord-
ing to the Commission . files, a Mexican
-
--.,----------~~~
..... t'
I could have offered a satisfactory ex~
Embassy. There ~were ~ lo:
Oswald's applicnboi1' for :. C
bearing his photogx:iph :m
ture, 3 1 and a letter rcponcdly wnucn
by Oswald to the Soviet Embu..ry ln
Washington, referring to hiS vrit to the
Cuban Embassy .32 The address boo\.
found among Oswald's possessions,
moreover, contained Duran's name and
telephone number. But the only cred-
ible eyewitness testimony that Oswald
in fact · visited the embassy is the
statement of Silvia Duran.
When viewed in the light of the
recently disclosed evidence suggesting
that someone might have visited the
embassy impersonating Oswald, the
CommiS5ion's failure to settle com- ~
pletely the question of the three
misidentified photos seem·s extraor=?
dinary. It is probable thafthe CIA did
in fact supply an explanation of the
photographs that was enough to satisfy
the Commission at the 'time. If so, that
expla:nation ·remains a part of the ·
classified Warren Commiss1on docu-
ments not available to the public:
Raymond Rocca (who, until his
recent resignation, was the Agency's
action officer for all po~.t-Warren Re-
.port inquiries about the'' matter) told
not identify the mystery man. If this is
so, we may wonder how the Agency

mission. Until additional documents
bearing on this matter are declassified,
ed the Cuban· Embassy mu'st remain in

instituted a suit unde( the Freedom of

pictures. .The government yielded and

early autumn of 1963, what imp llca·
tions mlght be drawh from this diS:.
covery? One obvious interpretation is
th;it someone sought to counterfeit a
fresh connection between the man who
:was soon to · become the accused
ments . of t hose · two communist coun-
tries. But it is not necessary to
speculate further. If someone were
tr}>ing to impersonate Oswald e~t
· weeks before the assassin.a tion, th~
Warren Commission' s theo'ry of a lone
assassin, unconnected with any con-
spiracy, is seriouSly undermined and
the case should be reopened.
There could be, of course, an
innoce~t explanation of how the CIA
came to misidentify the mystery man
as Lee Harvey Oswald: Oswald may
actually have visited the Cuban and
Soviet embassies. If this were the case,
then somewhere in .the CIA's file·s
there should be photographs of the.
real Lee Harvey Oswald departing from
the Soviet and Cuban embassies in
Mexico City. If those photographs
exist, their publication would help to
settle the question. If they don't, the
CIA should now explain why not. In
either case, it should also disclose w~at
it knows about the man it wrongly
identified as Oswald on two separate
occasions. · It should explain why it
believes that this man was not imper-
sonating Oswald. All these matters
_should be clarified both by the CIA
itself and by the congression al com- ..,.... _

nothing to hide, says Fensterwald, who was
James McCord's lawyer when McCord
spilled Watergate details to Judge John Sir-

Before he' s forced to turn over rec-

town Rome, in a deal worked
out by the Christian Demo-
cratic leadership. A part of
this deal was that another
former Premier, Amintore
Fanfani, would become politi-
cal secretary of the party,
controlling the most power-
ful political machine in Italy.
Mr. Fanfani, who is 65
years old, has held that job
before, and when he. did Mr.
Rumor was depucy secretary
of the patty, ·working in an
adjoining 'office. Mr. Fanfani
used to .summon Mr. Rumor
by ringing a bell. Such rela-
tionships often leave lasting
traces, and Rome will be
watching in fascination how
the two men get along in the
weeks to come.
Since the time when Mr.
Fanfani used to ring the bell,
Mr. Rumor has been party
chief himself, has held the
posts of agriculture minister
and interior minister, and has
been Pemier in three cabi-
nets from December, 1968, to
that abrupt walkout three
years ago.
Adroit at political maneu-
vering, he has for at least a
decade been one of the lead-
ers of the strongest among a
varying number of six to
nine Christian Democratic
party factions. His faction is
known as the Dorotheans,
the name being derived from
St. Dorothy, the patron saint
of a convent in which Mr.
Rumor .;µid his party associ-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-1

A Senate investigating subcom-
n1ittee demanded today that the
Post Office Department pro·
duce the names of about 24,000
persons whose mail \Vas put
under special surveillance in
the last two years.
_The · department had pro-
tested · ~ a previous directive, de-
claring that such disclosures
could tip off suspects under in·
vestigation..
Spokesmen said that the dis-
closures·. could · also hurt many
persons who were innocent of
:~rongdoing but 'vho, perhaps
:as victims, \Vere helping lead
the \Vay to offenders.
Officials Study Demand
1 Senator Edward V. Long,
Democrat of 1\lissouri, \vho
1heads the Juaiciary subcommit-
1tee, gave the department a
l,veek to sub1nit the lists.
Post Office officials said to-
night they 'vere studying the
Senate group's den1and and had
reached no decision on \\,.hether
to comply.
The subcommittee is investi-
gating .possible invasions of the
privacy of individuals by Gov-
ernn1ent agencies. It is seeking 1
to define the admittedly thin
line that might separate legiti-:

PAST ACTIONS DEFENDED

But Senators Will Seek Law

to Prohibit Practice They

By E. \V. KEN\VORTHY
Special to The New York Tlmes

'VASHINGTON, April 13-

The Treasurv• and Post Office
Departments agreed \Vith an
irate Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee today that the guaran-
tees of the Constitution should
take precedence over the diffi.
culties of lhe Internal Revenue
Service \vith '~flagrant'' tax-
eva.ders. · l

In a hearing before the sub·

committee on administrathre
practices and procedures, Har·
vey H. Hannah, deputy general
counsel of the Post Office, ad·
mitted that it \Vas "\vrong'' for
the · Post Office to seize the
first-class mail of hardened tax·
resisters and turn it over to the
Internal Revenue Service.
"\Ve've been doing it \Vrong,
no question about it,'' 1'1r. Han-
nah said.
And in a letter to Senator Ed-
\vard l. Long, \Vhich \Vas put
T1

into the record, Postmaster Gen-

eral John A. Gronouski said
that \Vhile ''existing lav/' :per-
mitted the ''levy'' of such n1ail
by the Internal Revenue Sen'-
ice, he thought the la\\" should
be changed ''because of the
over-riding importance of pro-
tecting the sanctity of the

l\Ir. Gronouski said he had
discussed this \vith Secretary of
the Treasury Henry H. Fo\vler,
\\'ho advised 1\tr. Gronouski that
"he \Vould not object to a
change in the la\v \Vhich \\~oulcl
specifically exempt n1ail f ron1

[to satisfy a tax claim]."
Senator Long, Democrat of
?vHssouri \vho is the subcommit ..
tee chairman, and Senator
Quentin N. Burdick, Democrat
of North Dakota, did not agree
\Vith 1[r. Gronouski that the
law· permitted such seizures.
But they heartily agreed there

ised it \\'OUld be shortly intro..

The issue arose as a result of
inquiries addressed to the Post

In reply, J\Ir. Hannah and

agreement of l\Ir. Gronouski
and Douglas Dillon. farmer

ice therefore had statutory au-
tho1ity to order the seizures.
!vlr. Hall said it \Vas ''\varped

tend that since Congress did not
exclude n1ail seizure. it thereby
authorized it. Cornelius Ken-

l\fr. Hannah said it had not

\\rhich maintained that the no-

It \\·as repeatedly pointed out

By ALAN WESTIN
EADERS of the Congressional

the Senate chamber during the past
three years have grown accustomed
to a rather special bit of ritual. A
short, stocky man wee.ring rin1less
glasses and smiling almost pixieishly

insertion comes the Senator's favor-

Senator Long's Big Brother items
sometimes come from the press or
from magazines in the field of tech-

vacy held since 1964 by the Sub-

diciary Committee, of which Senator
Long is chairman. Now the Senator
has produced a book reporting the
main findings of these hearings, a
full-dress parade of government tap-

and private voyeurs, with well cho-

1950's or early 1960's had ever
been able to pry this account
from Federal agencies •. and
make it- public. . Long subcommittee staff move
First, the subcon1mlttee's
talented chief investigator, Ray-
mond C. Cole Jr., snf!ffed around
law enforcement circles · and
talked to the nation's leading
· private wiretapping experts.
Since Federal agencies must
bU¥ their equipment with
Government funds supervised by
Congress, Fensterwald obta.Uled
the lists Of listening and re-
coNling equipment approved by
the General ACcounting Office
for Federal procurement. The
subcommittee then wrote each
manufacturer and asked which
Federal agencies ·the equip-
ment had been sold to. Armed
with this information . (a few
threats cf subpoenas were
necessary to get the tacts), the
subcommittee then wrote each
· Federal· ag~ncy which had pur-
cha.Sed the equipment and asked
for a report on the use being
made of it. The choice was ei-
ther to respond or else to con-
tend that the equipment was
not being used at all, an ad-
mission of waste that no Fed-
eral agency would be likely to
make to Congress.
To supplement this line of
attack, the subcommittee also
drew up a general. question-
naire asking each major Fed-
eral agency (apart from the
F~B.I., military intelltgen~e, and
C.I.A.) to list all the eaves-
dropping equipment it owned
and describe how it was being
used. Since the word was out in
Washington that the Long sub·
committee had already been to
· the suppliers. the pressure was ·
on the Federal ag~nclcs to give
accurate replies. Only when
these questionnaire reports and
some stormy interviews with
Federal agency spokesmen had
pro\rfdcd them with a clear pic-
ture of Federal use did· the
to public he¥iJ1gs in 1964.
With a well-developed sense
of political timing, the Long ·.
subcommittee did not start its ·
hearings by taking on that
fortress of influence on capitol
Hill, the F .B.I. Instead, it
opened its hearings with wire-
tapping and bugging practices
by the Internal Revenue Serv-
ice, a move guaranteed to trig-
ger spasms of alarm down the
spines of the nation's taxpay-
ers. The subcommittee then
moved to eavesdropping by the
Food and Drug Administration
(intensifying fears in the busl- ·
ness community) and to the
Post Office, whose "mall cov-
ers,, put the nation's basic sys-
tem of correspondence under
scrutiny ·and whose peephole
and camera surveillance · of
postal employes stirred labor
unions to full concern.
With these ·disclosures having
laid the groundwork, the Long
subcommittee turned to the·
F.B.I. Using its own ·sources

case, the subcommittee expo~

imperiling human life ·was fi-

nally and publicly destroyed.
What "The Intruders" pro-
vides Is a collection of the Long
subcommittee data in one ban-
dy volume for Ute nonspecial-
lzed reader. The case against
unchecked government and in-
dustrial ime of electronic sur-
velllance is made particularly
well. Given the Senator's legal
and policy focus,'" the book gen-
erally takes it for granted that
Americans know what privacy
is and when it is improperly
invaded, though ~ese issues are
not always as simple when so-
cial lntere.~ are openly
weighed. In addition, there
could have been a more ex-
tended discussion of debate over
Jaw enforcement claims to the
need of certatn limited sur-
veillance powers, if only to ex-
plain the basis on which Sena-
tor Long rejects these argu-
ments.

DESPITE the points on which

one would have liked further
dlscussfon, the Senator's policy
suggestions on wiretapping and
eavesdropping controls are
carefully presented. and deserve
the most thoughtful considera-
tion from the press and Con-
gress. His position calls for lim-
iting Federal ''third - party''
wiretapping to a narrowly de-
fined set of national security
invesUgations (and forbidding
all use of wiretap evidence in
court) ; restricting Federal and
st.ate wiretapping to situations
in which one party to the con-
versaUon agrees to the moni-
toring; and providing a similar
·particlpant - approval limita-
tion on law-enforcement use of
bugging devices. In fact, this is
very close to the stand taken
by the Johnson Administration,
embodied in the Administration
bill just sent to Congress.
There are still knotty legal and
policy issues involved here, and
some observers will feel that
the better soluUon is a new
system of controls rather than
such a complete denial of eaves-
dropping authority in cases of
conspiracy and violent crime.
One hopes this wuc will be
fully discussed in Congressional
hearings on the proposed bills.
Since the Long subcommittee
is scheduled shortly to hold
such hearings (as well as hear-
ings on the J. Edgar Hoover-
Robert Kennedy dispute over
who authorized electronic
eavesdropping during the Ken-
nedy Administration), ·S enator
Long is sure to be well-supplied
with ''Big Brother Items" ln the
near fUture. Meanwhile, his
book ls a welcome source of
information showing how far
electronic eavesdropping has
spread in our society, and how
negligent our courts and legis-
latures have been ln not sup-
plying the necessary legal con-
trols to assure that the indi-
vidual's right . to privacy re-
ceives the same care as his
right to property.

The magazine article, 1vrl tten
by William Lambert, also states
that in 1963 and 1964 Senator
Long received $48.000 in fees
for referring cases to Morris A.
Shenker, a lawyer from ·St.
Louis, who is a. close friend of
the Senator and counsel for the
convicted Hoffa.
The disclosure of the refer·
ral fees, reported to have been
paid on a regular basis of $2,000
a month, 1vas also 1nade by The
St. Louis Post Dispatch in an

An article in .the current Life
magazine charges that Senator
Edward V. Long has used the
subcommittee. of which he· is
chainµan, · to try "to keep
Jimmy Hoffa out ·of pr:son:
subsequently. for trying to get
Hoffa's 'convictlon reversed.''
The charge \Vas denied yes-
terday by l'Ir. Long, The Mis-
souri Deinocrat said the article
\Vas the result of efforts by the
Internal Revenue Service to
''get· me., and the chief counsel
for the subcommittee, Bernard
Fenst~rwald Jr., for their dis-
closures on wiretapping by in-
ternal revenue agents.
The article also charges that
officials in the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, of
which Hoffa is president, in-
fluenced the Senator to take up
his investigation and that the
hearings blunte<.1 the Justice
Department•s drive against
crime by discrecli ting the work
of its agents.
Both Mr. Long and Mr. Fen-
sterwald denied the charges. ·
A spokesman for the Justice
Department said it had not in-
vestigated any connection the
subcommittee might have had
with the Hoffa case or with
other pending litigation. Hoffa
is serving eight years in prison
for jury tampering.
Some officials in the Justice
Department have said priv~tely
that some aspects of Mr.
Long's investigation may have
provided "aid and comfort,, tc
the Teamster leader. For ex·
ample, they note, the subcom·
nlittee investigated \viretapping
in Detroit after the wiretapping
\Vas alleged in a suit by a
Hoffa lawyer, Williatn Bufa-.
lino. .
Nevertheless, this is not the
official vie\V ofthe departmen l.
The spokesman said there 'vas
no evidence of any "direct in-
terference by the subcommit-
tee or its staff" in the Hoffa
prosecution.
Meanwhile, the Senate Select
Committee on Standards anc·
Conduct noted the allegations
by Life magazine, although
committee members declined tc
comment. The chairman, Johr.
C. Stennis, Democrat of Missis·
sippi, and Wallace F. Bennett.
Republican of Utah, were re~
ported to have discussed thr
-.rticle. ·
One matter of concern to the
committee is the disclosure in
Life that Senator Long, a lawyer,
received $48,000 in fees for re-
f erring cases to Morris A.
Schenker, a St. Louis lawyer.
in 1963 and 1964.
Mr. Schenker is a close
friend of Senator Long and
has served as counsel for
Hoffa.
Senator Long conceded that
he had received the money and
said he did not ''find fault" with
a. statement by the magazine
that it was paid in installments
of $2,000 a month. .
But he said there was noth-:
ing wrong with this and that
he had been consulted on the
case and performed some legal
work to earn the fee.

CHARGED BY LONG
TO TAX OFFICIALS
Senator Says 1.R.S., Vexed
by Wiretap Inquiry, Was
Behind Report of Fees

CONCEDES HE GOT FUNDS

But Insists $48,000 Frorn

Hoffa Counsel Was Paid
for Referral of Cases

By DOUGLAS E. l\NEELAND
Special to The :\ew York 'l'tmes
ST. LOUIS, May 21-Senator
Edward V. Long of Missouri 1
accused the Internal Revenue
Service today of trying to "get
ine" in retaliation for his inves-
tigation of the agency's use of
wiretapping.
Mr. Long, a Democrat, said
that the tax agency \Vas behind
reports published in Life maga-
zine and The st. Louis Post-
Dispa tch that he had received
$48,000 over two years from a
counsel for James R. Hoffa, the
Teamster president convicted of
jury tampering and sentenced· to
prison.
The 58-year-old Senator is
chairman of the Senate Sub-
committee on Administrative
Practice and Procedure, which
for three years has been inves-
tigating alleged invasion of
privacy by Federal agencies.
The hearings have focused pri-
marily on the Post Office. De-
partment and the Internal Rev-
enue Service and their use of
wiretapping and other methods
to obtain information.
''This type of investigation
steps on some toes," the Sena-
.tor said in a telephone in tcr-
view from his 2,500-acre farn1
at Clarksville, Mo., about 60
miles up the Mississippi from
st. Louis. ''Some Of the Internal
Revenue boys are very vicious
and they've said they would get
me. But this is not the way to
do it."
'There's Just N othlng to It'
"You can check all the way
baclc through those hearings
records and there's not one \vo'rd
that gives aid or comfort to
Hoffa i11 any way,'' he said.
"There's just nothing to it."
In reply to a question after
emerging from a television in-/
terview here this evening, the
Senator said that the Internal
Revenue Service had audited
his records last October.
"I would say that they
checked my books very thor-
oughly for 1963 and 1964,'' he
~aid \Vith a smile, '•But there's
very little in controversy, only
a few hundred dollars, and if
it comes out the way I think,
they'll owe me money."
The Life article, which ap-
pears in the issue dated May 26,
accuses the Senator of having
'misused his Senate subcommit..
ee" in a \Vay that benefited
Hoffa.
The Teamster leader has con-
ended that some of the · evi-

The Post-Dispatch made no
accusation, limiting itself to re·
porting that many Federal
agencies had regarded the Long
inquiries as a handicap to their
efforts to combat organized

for Hoffa. The Senator added,
however, that the payments
were his fees for cases he had
referred to the Shenker firn1.
·Mr. Shenker a.greed, adding
that Senator Long was still re-
ceiving payments. He declined
to discuss specific cases or
amounts paid, but said he was
not "finding fault" with the
published figure of $2,000 a
month for 1963 and 1964.
Declaring that no one had
got that figure from him or
from SenatC>r LC>ng, he sug-
gested that the Internal Re-

for The Post-Dispatch, Mr.

Life had approached hin1 or any

"I've never heard fro111 Life

Senator Long, a former Lieu-
tenant Governor of Missouri,
1vas appointed to fill an unex-
pired Senate tenn in 1960. He
1vas elected in 1962 and faces
:i. re-election campaign next
year.
Neither he nor llfr. Shenker
look serious issue iVith The
Post-Dispatch's article, which
carried their denials that there
was anything unusual in the
referral fee arrangement or
that any conflict of interest
was involved.
Although he said he had not
read the Life account,. Senator
Long disputed so1ne portions of
it that had been quoted to hin1
indirect!;1r.
He said that hr.t had never
denied having r::ceived money
fro1n :rirr. Shenker.
Referring to the Life inter-
vie1ver, Senator Long declared:
"What he said was that I got
111oney from Shenker that 1vas
coming fron1 Hoffa. Hell, yes, I
denied that and I still do. That
was the implication of his ques-
tion, at least.
"I very definitely deny that
Hoffa ever 'gave me $24.'ooo or
24' cents either directly or indi-
rectly."
The portion of the Life arti-
cle dealing willi t11e Long
denial is in the form of an ex-
change bel\veen the interviewer
and Senator Long. It reads as
follows:

 Excerpts From Testimonv Before Senate· Panel Investi~atin~ Water~ate· Case
Sptolal to The New York 'nmu
WASHINGTON, May 23-
Following are excerpts from
a transcript of testimony by
John J. Caulfield and Anthony
T. Ulasewicz in the fourth
day of hearings on the Water-
gate case by the Senate
··select Committee on Presi-
. dential Campaign Activities;
and excerpts from a prepared
statement to the committee
·by Gerald Alch, along with
transcripts of his reading of
.· certain documents that he in-
terpolated into his statement:
MORNING
SESSION
John J. Caulfield
MR. DASH. Although you
. state that you made no men-
tion of the President to Mr.
. McCord during the meeting,
you do know, do you not,
that the President is the only
. person in this country who
can grant executive clemency
in a Federal criminal matter?
MR. CAULFIELD. Yes, sir,
I do.
Q. Did you understand when
you were speaking with Mr.
Dean that Mr. Dean wanted
. you to transn1it the message
to Mr. McCord that the offer
of executive clemency was
made with the proper author-
. ? A . y es, sir.
. That is correct. And also that on June 17? A. Yes, sir.
ity.
Q. Was it your intention
during your meetings with
Mr. McCord to leave him with
the clear understanding that
persons with authority to
make such a representation
as to executive clemency
·were in fact extending this
· offer to him?
A. Yes, sir. But, of course, I
have not and did not at that
time have any direct knowl-
edge that the President had
made such an offer, endorsed
such an offer, or in any way
was involved in that offer.
·. Q. And was it your under-
standing, especially with the
discussions you had with Mr.
Dean, that there was serious
concern at the White House,
at least Mr. Dean was con-·
veying to you, involving a
possible scandal-that there
was a real effort to get Mr.
McCord to accept this offer
because of the concern or
trouble that probably he
might be able to raise in the
Watergate case?
A. That was my clear im-
.pression, Mr. Dash, yes, sir.
MR. THOMPSON. As you
were talking to [McCord]
about the possibility of ex-
ecutive clemency and he was
responding to you, what
would you say, according to
what he told you, his pri-
mary interest was?
· A. Very frankly, sir, as I
reflect back upon the con-
versation, it is very clear in
my mind that Jim McCord
was concerned about his
'
freedom and was taking the
steps that he believed to gain
that freedom totally. He was
uninterested in any deals of
a year is a long time or other
statements like that.
Q. In other words, he was
not necessarily disinterested
in any deals, but he was not
interested in any deals that
'vould not produce his free-
dom. Is that a correct state-
ment? A. That is correct.
Ties to Ehrliehman
. Q. Let nle ask you about
your relationship with Mr.
Ehrlichman for just a few
1noments. How long did you
work for Mr. Ehrlichman
'vhen he was counsel for the
President?
A. From the day that I ar-
rived at the White House on
April 8, 1969, fonnally,
through July, '70, when Mr.
Ehrlichman moved over to
the Domestic Council, and
then on a informal basis
from that time until the time
I worked at the White House.
Q. Then after Mr. Ehrlich-
man left the office of counsel
for the President, Mr. Dean
was his successor, is that
correct? A. Yes sir.
Q. You remained, then, un-
der Mr. Dean, is that correct?
A. That is right.
Q. Did you have any con-
tact or any continuing rela-
tionship with Mr. Ehrlichman
after Mr. Ehrlichman left to
go to the office of domestic
affairs? A. Well, only on rare
peripheral matters relative to
the investigations that I indi-
cated in my statement.
Q. And while you were
working for Mr. Ehrlichman
directly, as I understand it,
you had possibly more than
one function, with one of
those to carry out certain in-
vestigations? A. Yes, I had
many other functions, sir, but
that was one small part of
my duties at the White
House.
Q. And you continued to
do some of these matters for
him pursuant to his direc-
tions after you left that of-
fice? A. On very rare occa-
sions, sir.
Q. Would you on some oc-
casions act as an intermedi-
ary between Mr. Ehrlichman
and Tony Ulasewicz, for jobs
which Mr. Ulasewicz would
do? A. Yes sir.
Q. Would you say that
would be on frequent occa-
sions? A. That would be in-
frequent after July of 1970.
Q. Occasionally. A. Oh, yes;
yes sir. ·
Q. Now, Mr. Caulfield, in
your statement here, you
state that you were guess-
ing that Mr. Dean probably
was referring to Mr. Ehrlich-
man when he referred to
high White House sources?
A. Yes, that was my guess.
Q. What would you say
was the relationship between
Mr. Dean and Mr. Ehrlichman
during this period of time?
Did Mr. Dean in many mat-
ters, in effect, report to Mr.
Ehrlichman? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Or answer to Mr. Erlich-
man? A. Yes, sir, on many
matters having to do with
Mr. Dean's work as well.
Q. Did you ever talk with
Mr. Ehrlichman about this
matter, this business of pos-
sible executive clemency for
Mr. McCord with anyone?
A. No, sir. . Q. You mentioned that it again to it, now being asked mate the tough-mindedness
Q. Did you ever talk to
anyone there at the White
House besides Mr. Dean? A.
Absolutely no one but Mr.
John Dean.
SENATOR MONTOYA. Did
you ever get paid from the
President's attorney? A. No,
•
sir.
Q. Were you working or
being paid from the payroll
attributable to the Depart-
ment of the Treasury or to
the White House? A. The
White House payroll, sir.
Haldeman Assignments
Q. Did Mr. Haldeman as-
sign things to you? A. On
only one or two occasions
that I could recall, Senator.
Very rarely; in fact, almost
never.
Q. Let me read aa exten:l-
ed text. On Page 9: "About
10 o'clock A.M. on Thurs-
day, Jan. 25, 1973, in a
meeting lasting until about
12:30 A.M., we drove in his
car toward Warrenton, \'a.,
and returned and a conversa-
tion ensued which repeated
the offers of executive clem-
ency and financial support
while in prison and rehabil-
itation later. I refused to dis-
cuss it. He stated that I was
fouling up the game plan. I
made a few comments about
the game plan." You recall
that?

3TAKE LIE TEST
Urges at Rigorous Hearing
That He, Fensterwald,

WASHINGTON, May 24-Un-
der aggressive and at times
hostile questioning from the
Senate Watergate con1mittee1
Gerald Alch, the original law-
yer for James W. McCord Jr.,
suggested today that he, Mc-
Cord and McCord's present ,
lawyer take lie-detector tests to
see \vho was telling the truth.
But the coanmittee's chair-
n1an, Senator Sam J. Ervin Jr.,
objected to the idea, calling
such tests "20th.century \Vitch'!
craft," and McCord's present
lawyer, Bernard Fensterwald,
said that he and McCord would
not take the tests ''because 1
have no faith in them.,.
However, Mr. Fensterwald t
said later that if the committee
ordered every witness to take a
polygraph test, "I \Vill, too.0
Mr. Alch did not deviate from
the basic points he made in his
long state1ncnt to the commit..
tee yesterday:
f:JHe did not, as McCord has
contended, try to persuade Mc ..
Cord to say that the Watergate
burglary was an operation of
the Central Intelligence Agency
or tell McCord that McCord's
C.I.A. records could be altered·
·to support the claim.
t]He did not tell McCord that
the convicted burglar could re·
ceive executive clemency if he
kept silent about the Watergate·
case.
liMr. Fenster\vald told him in
a telephone conversation after
McCord had been co11victed in
January that ''\ve're going after
the President of the United
States."

CIA campus," a referPnce to
CIA-sponsored resParch that
has been carried out at I
Georgetown, and suggested
that at least two prominent.
OTIA members have ridden,
CIA ties.
One of th1> panelists, Dr.
Richard Popkin, rofessor of
philosophy at Wa,shington Uni-
versity at St. ouis, said that ::-....
many other countries have
had political assassination con-
spiracies, et American offi-
cials here would have the na-
tion be ·eve that the assassi-
. nations of the last decade
have been carried out by "a
lone nut." Popkin said the
Watergate affair, with its
" nspiracy to re-elect the
resident," should convince
Americans once and for all
that conspiracies do exist and
that President Kennedy was
the victim of one.
Although none of the panel-
ists dealt specifically in their
prepared remarks with links
between Watergate and PrE-si-
dent Kennedy's murder, vari-
ous members of t he audience
cqntended that there may ex-
ist evidence to show that per-
sons arrested in the break-in
at Democratic Headquarters
in the Watergate also were in
Dallas on the day of Mr. Ken-
nedy's assassination.
Ramparts magazine and
many underground and smaller
circulation publications have
suggested in recent months
that there may be direct
links between the Dallas shoot·
ing .and the Water:gate affair
but, as some members of the
audience said yesterday, the
major news media have ig-
nored this possible connection.
Peter Dale Scott, author and
professor at the University of
California at Berkeley, said
there were "lessons of Water-
gate" that shoutd be applied
to examining what he said was
the "cover-up" of the facts
about the Kennedy assassina-
tion.
The Watergate affair also
showed, he said, that the per-
sons involved in the cover-up
need not necessarily have
been involved in the original
crime. He said he suspects
this was the case in the inves-
tigation of Mr. Kennedy's
murder.
In a morning panel discus-
sion, authors of various books
and articles on political assas-
sinations expressed frustrat-
ion over not being able to in-
terest major news media in
newly discovered evidence or
theories relating to the polit-
ical murders and attempted
murders.
Although so.me panelists
said they felt there was a new
willingness by the news media
to do more investigative re-
porting as a result of the
Watergate affair, othPrs said
there was still a strong reluc-
tance in the media to re-open
investigations of assassina·
tiona.

lJy John Hanrahan
.Vashlng ton Post S taff Writer
A myriad of conspiracy the-
ories, including one attempt-
ing to link the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy to
some of the figures involved
in the Watepgate affair, were
raised yesterday on the con-
cluding day of p. two-day con-
fere:ice here on political assas-
sinations of the last decade.
Various theorists at the con-
ference at Georgetown Uni-
versity's Gaston Hall attrib-
uted President Kennedy's as-
sassination to or g a n i zed
crime, the CIA, anti-Castro
Cu bans, big businessmen, the
late President Lyndon B.
Johnson, soldiers of fortune OF
combinations of these ele-
ments.
In most instances, the theo-
ries were old ones brought up
to date. While some theorists
exonerated Lee Harvey Os-
wald of the assassination of
President Kennedy, others
said Oswald may have been a
minor figure in a large con-
spiracy.
What was different about
the discussions from those ot
earlier years was the apparent
widespread feeling that the
Watergate affair and cover-up
had links to President Kenne-
dy's assassination in Dallas 10
years a.go last Thursday.
Although the conference
sponsor, the private, Wasbing-
ton-based Committee to Inves-
tigate Assassinations (CTIAJ,
had not listed Watergate on
its program, the issue was
brought up yesterday after-
noon by Chicago-based gadfly
Sherman Skolnick, who was in
the audi•nce. A sizable por-
tion of the audience of about
200 persons appeared to sup.
port Skolnick's successful ef.
fort to put Watergate on the
agenda.

Six weeks before the assassination of
President Kennedy on November• 22,
1963, the Central Intelligence Agency .
sent the following teletype message to
the Federal Bureau of · Investigation
and the Departments of State and the
Navy:
Subject: Lee Henry OSWALD
I. On I October 1963 a reliable
and sensitive source in Mexico
reported that an American male,
who identified himself as Lee

Embassy in Mexico City inquiring
whether the Embassy had received
any news concernir.g a telegram
which had been sent to Washing-

as approximately 35 years old,
with an athletic build, about six
feet tall, with a receding hairline.

may be identical to Lee · Henry

" sometime between July 1, 1963 and
Sitice Oswald had served in the
Marine Corps, which comes under the
administration of the Navy, his person-
nel records would have included his
photograph.
What the Agency did not say in this.
cable is that it had in its possession a
photograph of the man who had
apparently "identified himself' as Os-
wald. The man in the CIA photo was
not Lee Harvey Oswald; he was, just as
the Agency's "reliable and sensitive
source" had ·described, him, approxi-
mately thirty-five years old, with an
athletic build and a receding hairline.
According to a memorandum by
Helms, the CIA never received the
Navy's pictures of Oswald •and only
concluded after the . assassination that
two different people were involved. 5

ered . to the FBI on November 22,

at the time, might have been associated
with Oswald." 9 The Report quoted an
affidavit by Richard Helms that "the
original photograph had been taken by
the .CIA outside of the United States
November 22, 1963." 1 0 .
The Commission's explanation is
both inaccurate and misleading. The
implication that the CIA thought the ·
mystery man was "associated with
Oswald" only masks the true situation.
On the basis of its own evidence, the
Agency must have concluded either
that the mystery man was imperson-
ating Oswald or that an unlikely chain
of errors had accidentally linked both
the man in the photograph and the
man who "co)ltacted" the Soviet Em-
bassy to Lee Harvey Oswald.
The truth was further obscured by
the Report's reference to the Helms
affidavit, which described the circum-
stances in which the mystery man was
photographed only in the most vague
and general terms. The affidavit was
dated August 7, 1964. 1 1 However, the -
Commission never mentioned in its
Report or in its twenty-six supplementa-
ry volumes that ·it had obtained an
.earlier affidavit from Helms on July 22,
1964 in which he was much more
specific.1 2 "The original photograph,"
Helms testified, "was taken in Mexico
·city"~ un _Octobe.r 4, 1963." 13 (This
e:irlier Helms :lffidavit was ~sed in

one of the ·commission's legal ·staff
who recalled the incident. said he He·.
had asked Raymond G. Rocca, the
Agency's liaison with the • Commis-
sion, 16 about the photogr!lph. The law- .
yer later received word from the A~~ncy
that the mystery man was though~ to be
Oswald at the time the photograph was
given to the FBL. Why, he asked, ..did
the Agency mistake someone so dis-
similar in appearance for Lee Harvey
Oswald? The CIA said they_ would
check further and call !Um back. The
lawyer told Epstein that they never
called him back and the Warren Report
contains no explanation of the Agen-
cy's mistake.~ 7
Another piece of the puzzle fell into
place early in 1971, when the National
Archives released a previously classified
memorandum about the mystery man
from Richard Helms to the · Comrnis-
sion 's general counsel, J. Lee Rank-
in. 1 8 Dated· March 24, 1964, - the.
memo informed Rankin:
On 22 and · 23 November, im-
mediately following the assassi-
nation of President Kennedy, three
cabled reports were received from

photographs, then, of a
mysterious stranger who kept being
' confused with Lee Harvey Oswald, and
who had visited both the Soviet and
Cuban embassies. Was it the same
mystery man whose picture had .been
shown to Mrs. Oswald? Or was it yet
another Oswald Doppelgiinger?
Firm evidence of the existence of
additional · photographs of the unidenti-
fied man mentioned in · the Warren
~
&eport was turned up by Robert
Smith, a private researcher. In 1972
Smith , then research director for the
~ Commission to Investigate Assassina-
'-., tions, was poring over some 'recently
~ . _ declassified 'Warren Commission docu-
men,ts when he found reference to the
mystery photo and two other views of
~

~~
~ one of the authors that the CIA co,uld
~
~ the conclusion that,Qswald 1really visit-·
~ so.me doubt. But even i{ he did, the
'Veillance cameras, on at ' least two -
separate occasions. And neither or the .
new photographs reveals · any ' resem-
·blance · between the mystery man and
Lee Harvey os\vaid.
. The Warren Commis;aon concluded
that Os~ald had be'en in Mexico in late
September and early October 1963 .
Records of Mexican Customs and Im-
migration, bus lines, and a Mexico City
hotel indicate that Oswald entered
Mexico at Nuevo Laredo on the US
border on September 26, traveled by
bus to Mexico City, arriving there the
next morning, and returned to the
United States on October 3. 25 Passen-
gers on the bus to Mexico City
remembered Oswalc\,, but there is al-
most no eyewitness testimony to sup-
port the Commission's reconstruction
of Oswald's movements after he arrived
in that city. 26 The Commission's find-
ing that Oswald made repeated visits to
both the Soviet and Cuban embassies
rests heavily upon the affidavit of one
. deputy director of Mexican Federal
S_ecurity on . November 23, 1963, she
said that Oswald had visited the Cuban
Embassy . in late September to apply
for a visa _ to visit Cuba during a
planned trip to the Soviet Union. Mrs.
Duran recalled a heated exchange be-
tween Oswald and the Consul when
the Cuban official told him his request
could no t be granted immediately. She
remembered making, a "semiqfficiaJ"
phone call to the Soviet Embassy to
try to speed up action on Oswald's
application. She identified the Lee
Harvey Oswald who visited the Cuban
Embassy as the acc used assassin whose
photograph appeared in the Mexica n
newspapers on November 23 .29
Apparently the Warren Commission
staff did not interview Silvia Duran,
but instead relied solely on her affi-
davit. Whether any attempt to talk to
her was made is not ·recorded in any
available document. However, accord-
ing to the Commission . files, a Mexican

I could have offered a satisfactory ex~
Embassy. There ~were ~ lo:
Oswald's applicnboi1' for :. C

ture, 3 1 and a letter rcponcdly wnucn
by Oswald to the Soviet Embu..ry ln
Washington, referring to hiS vrit to the
Cuban Embassy .32 The address boo\.
found among Oswald's possessions,
moreover, contained Duran's name and
telephone number. But the only cred-
ible eyewitness testimony that Oswald
in fact · visited the embassy is the
statement of Silvia Duran.
When viewed in the light of the
recently disclosed evidence suggesting
that someone might have visited the
embassy impersonating Oswald, the
CommiS5ion's failure to settle com- ~
pletely the question of the three
misidentified photos seem·s extraor=?
dinary. It is probable thafthe CIA did
in fact supply an explanation of the
photographs that was enough to satisfy
the Commission at the 'time. If so, that
expla:nation ·remains a part of the ·
classified Warren Commiss1on docu-
ments not available to the public:
Raymond Rocca (who, until his
recent resignation, was the Agency's
action officer for all po~.t-Warren Re-
.port inquiries about the'' matter) told
not identify the mystery man. If this is
so, we may wonder how the Agency

mission. Until additional documents
bearing on this matter are declassified,
ed the Cuban· Embassy mu'st remain in

! someone po~lng as O s w ald · visitelS
the Soviet and Cuban e m b a saies in the
early autumn of 1963, what imp llca·
tions mlght be drawh from this diS:.
covery? One obvious interpretation is
th;it someone sought to counterfeit a
fresh connection between the man who
:was soon to · become the accused
ments . of t hose · two communist coun-
tries. But it is not necessary to
speculate further. If someone were
tr}>ing to impersonate Oswald e~t
· weeks before the assassin.a tion, th~
Warren Commission' s theo'ry of a lone
assassin, unconnected with any con-
spiracy, is seriouSly undermined and
the case should be reopened.
There could be, of course, an
innoce~t explanation of how the CIA
came to misidentify the mystery man
as Lee Harvey Oswald: Oswald may
actually have visited the Cuban and
Soviet embassies. If this were the case,
then somewhere in .the CIA's file·s
there should be photographs of the.
real Lee Harvey Oswald departing from
the Soviet and Cuban embassies in
Mexico City. If those photographs
exist, their publication would help to
settle the question. If they don't, the
CIA should now explain why not. In
either case, it should also disclose w~at
it knows about the man it wrongly
identified as Oswald on two separate
occasions. · It should explain why it
believes that this man was not imper-
sonating Oswald. All these matters
_should be clarified both by the CIA
itself and by the congression al com- ..,.... _

A WATERGATE LAWYER may find out
why the IRS picked him for a special audit.
When the Internal Revenue Service does
a Taxpayer Compliance Measurement Pro-
gram audit. it scrutinizes every expense and
income item and even questions clients and
customers. A TCMP audit is so burdensome
<>ome taxpayers call it harassment. But
e iRS insists it's needed to test the ade-
quacf"'<* ;.t.s less intensive routine audits. It
also insists subjects are picked impersonally
by computer at random .
n Still Bernard W. Fensterwald Jr. is sus-
g The checks dated back one full yea
picious' about being picked; retaliation
h might be involved. He was chief counsel of a
Senate panel that some years back disclosed
unsavory IRS practices. Sen. Edward V.
Long, of Missouri, headed the panel. Long's
tax returns later were handed to a Life
magazine writer. The magazine's disclo-
sures ended Long's political career. He has
nothing to hide, says Fensterwald, who was
James McCord's lawyer when McCord
spilled Watergate details to Judge John Sir-
ica. But IRS's questioning Fensterwald's
clients could make them think he'd done
something wrong. Or scare them away as
many " have problems with the govern-
ment," he says.
Before he' s forced to turn over rec-
ords to the IRS, Fensterwald wants to
ask the IRS exactly how he was picked.
A district court last year said he hadn 't
any right to ask, but an appeals corirt

mier's ornate office in down- weekend he leaves Rome and
town Rome, in a deal worked
out by the Christian Demo-
cratic leadership. A part of
this deal was that another
former Premier, Amintore
Fanfani, would become politi-
cal secretary of the party,
controlling the most power-
ful political machine in Italy.
Mr. Fanfani, who is 65
years old, has held that job
before, and when he. did Mr.
Rumor was depucy secretary
of the patty, ·working in an
adjoining 'office. Mr. Fanfani
used to .summon Mr. Rumor
by ringing a bell. Such rela-
tionships often leave lasting
traces, and Rome will be
watching in fascination how
the two men get along in the
weeks to come.
Since the time when Mr.
Fanfani used to ring the bell,
Mr. Rumor has been party
chief himself, has held the
posts of agriculture minister
and interior minister, and has
been Pemier in three cabi-
nets from December, 1968, to
that abrupt walkout three
years ago.
Adroit at political maneu-
vering, he has for at least a
decade been one of the lead-
ers of the strongest among a
varying number of six to
nine Christian Democratic
party factions. His faction is
known as the Dorotheans,
the name being derived from
St. Dorothy, the patron saint
of a convent in which Mr.
Rumor .;µid his party associ-
ates once ·held a caucus in a
rebellion against- Mr. Fan-

 THE
ASSASSI-·
. AN INVESTIGATION
OF THE
INVESTIGATORS
AR11ClE BY
EPEIMMODR
September 24, 1964. The
White House oval office is
packed with reporters who
have come to record an awe-
some footnote to " the crime
of the century." President
Lyndon B. Johnson is about
to receive the Report of the
President's Commission on
the Assassination of President
John F. Kennedy. Chairman
Earl Warren and commission
members Richard Russell,
John Sherman Cooper, Gerald
Ford, Hale Boggs, Allen
Dulles and John McCloy enter
and walk together toward the
President's desk. The red light
of the pool TV camera blinks
on, Nikons dick, strobes pop
and reporters' pens are poised
to transcribe the President's
solemn statement. Warren
hands Johnson the 888-page
document. There is no re-
sponse. Seconds tick by. Con-
tinued sllence. Warren frowns
and glances at the reporters.
Finally, the President clears
his throat and inhales deeply.
"It's, uh, pretty heavy," he
drawls.
Today, 12 years later, heavy
is probably the kindest descrip-
tion of the Warren Report that
its legion of critics could
muster. Most would prefer
pack of lies, or more acerbic,
political truths.
That the critics of the docu-
ment are legion and that their
criticisms are uniformly bitter
give testimony to the report's
signal triumph : By pinning the
rap on Lee Harvey Oswald
alone and by ignoring a wealth
of often-contradictory evi-
dence, the Warren Commis-
sion succeeded in creating a
countermovement of research-
ers, technicians, speakers,

writers and free-lance rumor
peddlers who have trans-
formed investigation of the
Kennedy assassination into a
big business. And, given the
post-Watergate bull market in
press sensationalism and public
suspicion, it is one huge
growth industry.
It is also a very informal and
heterogeneous industry. Meet-
ings are rare and rancorous,
there are neither dues nor of-
ficial newsletters, and the mem-
bership has never been fully
tallied. Among its members,
however, can be found an ec-
lectic collection of former FBI
agents and CIA officers, col-
lege professors and reformed
Yippies, clinical psycholo-
gists and forensic pathologists,
workers and bankers, all shar-
ing a common interest- what
really happened in Dallas on
November 22, 1963-and a
common trait: distrust and sus-
picion of one another. While
pursuing their interest, the as-
sassinationists evince this trait
by zealously guarding their
"findings" like autumn squir-
rels and continually disparag-
ing one another's output
without hesitating to steal and
18
claim it as their own. [See ac-
companying article-Ed.]
If the assassinationists are
their own worst enemies, how-
ever, they have escaped ex-
tinction largely because their
avowed enei;ny, the United
States Government, has per-
sisted in behaving like their
very best friend. By belliger-
ently defending the Warren
Report's lone-assassin theory,
by classifying as top secret the
commission's most crucial de-
liberations and by locking up
vital evidence until the year
2039, the Government not
only has kept the movement
alive these past dozen years
but also has seemed deter-
mined to ensure its perpetual
existence.
Although the assassination-
ist movement did not actually
get under way until the War-
ren Report was published, ten
months after President Ken-
nedy's death, first doubts
about the lone-assassin theory
we re expressed the afternoon
of November 22, 1963. One
of the Dallas spectators, a
gritty populist newspaper edi-
tor from Midlothian, Texas,
named Penn· Jones, Jr., re-
turned to his office at the Mid-
lothian Mirror disbelieving
what he bad just seen and
heard. As a World War Two
infantry veteran, Jones felt
that he bad witnessed enough
men under rifle fire to know
that the fatal shots in the Ken-
nedy assassination did not

ing, from the Texas School
Book Depository. Jones wrote
of his doubts in his newspaper
columns and then, when sev-

"Assassination," says Bob
Katz, " is no longer just a
nutty subject for nuts." Katz,

ing slide shows a specialty-

the Krishna kooks.
Not now. The old para-
noids are being joined by a
new breed of post-Watergate
conspiracy hunters, a nd the
main difference between the
old paranoids and the new
paranoids is that the new para-
noids a re probably right.
"People are getting hip to
the likelihood that the power-
ful operate in a covert, con-
spiratorial way," says Katz,
"and we're getting more of a
cross section of political views.
The conservatives and the re-
actionaries never had any
trouble disagreeing with the
Warren Commission; it was
the liberals who were reluctant
to face the facts. Now even the
liberals are coming around."
And so, after years of
leading a quasi-underground
existence and struggling for
respectability, the assassioa-
tionists have come out fight-
ing--one another, more often
than not. Wh at they don't ac-
cuse the Wa rren Commission
or the CIA of doing, they ac-
cuse fellow assassinationists of
doing. D issension among them
seems to be growing just as
they a chieve their greatest de-
gree of public support and
success.
Still, that success bas been
enough to transform a cult
into what one assassinationist
calls an industry and another
calls a circus. The movement,
which is what Katz and most
others call it, consists of two
main strata: the researchers
a nd the promoters. Research-
e rs try to tie up loose ends,
secu re access to classified
documents, contemplate such
artifacts as the famous Zapru-
der film, blow up photographs
unt il they are indecipherable
deserts of grain and call one
another crazy.
Promoters disseminate these
findings and try to stir up the
masses by giving illustrated
assassination travelogs (Katz's
show costs $750 a night), talk-
ing on talk shows and trading
conspiracy theories like kids
exchanging bubble-gum cards.
(In fact, Jots of them are
kids; the A.l.B.'s 26-year-old
Michael Gee-14 years old
when President Kennedy was
murdered-says he's into as-
sassinations because he's al-
ways liked mystery stories and
"crime in general.")
In addition to the research-
e rs a nd the promoters, there
are the a mateurs-people who
originally were the targets of
all this propaganda and who
now proclaim themselves to be
experts. T hey might be celeb-
rities such as D ick Gregory,
Mort Sahl, Geraldo Rivera
and Gore Vidal, or they might

Mark Lane, the onetime New

Judgment rushed onto the
best-seller lists in 1966 and
thus became the first pop suc-

1975, Lane founded the Cit-

an umbrella organization for
assassination investigators,
which operates out of a town
house located directly behind
the Supreme Court building in
Washington.

in a posh law office two blocks from the
White House. "We were trying to have
a serious conference and he came in
with a bunch of hippies and tried to
make trouble. It doesn't seem to me that
this has much to do with cleaning up
the courts."
A reporter tried to reach Skolnick in
Chicago to check on Fensterwald's story
and found out from his recorded tele-
phone message that "our chairman and
spokesman is in jail-again," this time
after staging a demonstration in an Indi-
ana courtroom. But Weberman can be
reached in New York. Boy, can he be
reached.
"That story's just total fuckin' bull-
shit," he says. "Fensterwald has had a
lot of people fooled for a long time. He
pretends to be this liberal attorney run-
ning around Washington trying to stir
up interest in the Kennedy assassination.
Actually he's a CIA agent. His whole
committee is funded by the CIA."
Fensterwald says that he does not re-
call ever having met Weberman and that
his committee is "unfunded." But one
former director of Fensterwald's com-
mittee says that he "would not be

WHEN ASSASSINATIONISTS GET TOGETHER Plots, plots, plots. They abound, they multiply, they
regenerate. Some people believe that Audie Murphy was sacrificed because he knew too much.
Hunt was in Washington on the day of
the assassination, attending a sneaky
meeting with disgruntled anti-Castroites
who were planning another invasion of
Cuba to make up for El Floppo at the
Bay of Pigs. But J .F.K. had already said
he wouldn't sanction another invasion ,
so why were these guys talking about
one unless they knew that K ennedy was
breathing his last in Dallas that very
November day?
"It's too damn coincidental for my
money," says Sprague.
But these theories go on and on, and
some assassinationists believe that more
conspiracy theories are not what the
movement needs most at this time.
"Thel"e is entirely too much speculation
in this field," Lane complains. He's
trying to get some respectability into
the circus.
Weberman, cutup though he is, says
he's after the truth, too. "D o n't lump me
in with all those other guys, please," he
says. "I've spent hours and hours on this
thing, man. I've been into this since No-
vember of 1973, when I first got the
tramp pictures. I spent a ll last summer in
the National Archives, and I speed-read
papers that would stack up JOO feet.
"I know you think assassina tion re-
searchers ma ke too ma ny people gu ilty,
right?" Right. " Well, eve1ybody wasn' t
involved. Only a few of the Da llas police
were involved. But you got to remember,
there was tremendous anti-Kennedy sen-
timent at the time. I'm convinced we
have the assassins of President Kennedy
in this country right now. But it's a little
hard to explain. I do n't consider it a
conspiracy. I consider it American his-
tory. It happens to have gone this way."
Like a lot of people, Weberman is
on the Weisberg shit list. Weisberg refers
to Weberman as "that wild man in New
York." Weberman refers to Weisberg
as "a bitter old man."
Weisberg says of Sprague, "He's gone
hog wild."
Sprague says of Weisberg, "I think
he's flipped. For the past two years he's
been yelling and shouting. H e wrote a
long diatribe against everybody and a
long and awful letter to Mark Lane."
But everybody agrees on one thing:
Penn Jones, Jr., is the farthest-out of
all. Jones, a former Texas newspaper
editor and perhaps the very first Early
True Disbeliever, has declared, among
other things, that Jack Ruby was "fed
cancer" in his jail cell; columnist Doro-
thy Kilgallen could have cracked the
whole case after her last-minute inter-
view with Ruby- if only she hadn't been
122
murdered in 1965; there were no less
than eight teams of assassins on duty in
Dallas that November day of 1963; and
former Presidents Johnson and Nixon,
as well as President Ford, were all in on
the conspiracy from the beginning.
"Penn Jones says he's got a list of
people who were killed mysteriously,"
says Weisberg, "and that they took
secrets to the grave. Well, what secrets?
l don' t know of any."
Says Weisberg antagonist Weberman:
"Jones brings everybody a nd his mother
into the fuckin' conspiracy." Say
Weisberg and Weberman antagonist
F ensterwald : "ll Marguerite Oswald's
98-year-old aunt died of diabetes, Jones
would say, 'I told you so.' That sort of
thing hinders serious investigation."
From the Texas town of Midlothian
(popu lation 3000), where her husband,
Penn, temporarily hospitalized with
pneumonia, does his assassinationist
work, Louise Jones defends her hus-
band's tireless research and describes
the role she herself has played. "I'm
the one who puts in all the a llegedJys,"
she says.
Plots, plots, plots. They abound, they
multipl y, they regenerate. Some people
think there were two Lee Harvey Os-
walds (at least) and two Sirhans and
God knows how many James Earl Rays.
Some people believe that Audie Murphy
was sacrificed to the cause when the
assassins decided he knew too much .
Organized crime, Jimmy Hoffa, the CIA,
the FBI and a Maryland outfit that
watches for flying saucers have all been
cited as tied in with this mess in one
way or another. The hideous part is that
some of it has to be true-if only be-
cause of the sheer odds of it all.
"Some people have gone round the
bend on this thing," says Lane. "There
was one woma n at the A.LB. confer-
ence in Boston who read a list of 45
assassins she claimed were involved in
the J .F.K. killing. They cut her off after
five minutes or she said she would have
named 110."
She also proposed that even Abraham
Zapruder, who took the famous home
movies of the assassination and sold
them to Time-Life (which proceeded to
hide them away o ut of most people's
reach), was himself part of the conspir-
acy. Zapruder is now, like so many
others, dead. Then there are all the re-
lated or unrelated assassinations: Robert
F . Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Malcolm X, the attempt on George
Wallace. Some say that Aristotle Onas-
sis' son, Alexander, died under myste-
rious circumstances, and that Onassis
himself knew who killed J.F.K.
Obviously the crackpottery displeases
Lane, who presents himself as Mr. No-
Nonsense. "I know this subject attracts
people who are paranoid, in addition to
norma l people. This tends to obscure
the constructive work that is being done
to bring about a conclusion."
Lane hopes his Citizens Commission
of Inquiry can serve as an umbrella
under which warring assassinationist
factions will find peace. "This is. a move-
ment that cannot be stopped. A few
years ago, we could hardly get a nybody
in Congress interested in this thing. Now
we have about half the members of Con-
gress interested. Bills arc being intro-
duced. Freedom of Information Act
suits are being filed. You know, fully
one fifth of the entire Warren Commis-
sion investigation is still classified, and
man y of the documents that arc avail-
able have big pieces cut out-just as if
somebody used a razor blade on them.
Talk about deception!"
What docs Lane expect to find at the
bottom of this? " l don't even think about
that. I just believe that Congress inves-
tigating is the only way the truth can be
known. 1 don't know any better ap-
proach to end this decade of deceit.
This has been a really disastrous period
in American history."
You can say that again, Mark. And
you will.
Weisberg bas filed six F reedom of
Info rmation Act suits himself- "more
than a ny other writer in the country,"
he says-and he has secured access to
informa tion bailed by others as inval-
uable, though he is not getting the credit
he thinks he deserves.
"They ripped me off in R olling Stone,"
he says with sadness. "They don't even
have me down in their piece as one of
the ' nuts,' and I did most of the basic
work on the subject. I don't think you
know how hard it is to t ry a nd hold a
middle position on this. You've got
people saying the re were 50 assassins at
the scene of the crime. What the hell
were they doing, sweeping the streets?
Most of these other people are beyond
their depth in this. P eople such as Lane
are not about to do work when they
can make speeches and be famous."
Lane looks for hopeful signs of in-
c reasing public interest. Recently he
saw one. "They selected me to be listed
in Wh o's Who in America." It took ten
years, he notes happily, but they finally
came around. There may be hope for
us yet. ~

ASSASSINATIONIST BUSINESS The years 1966-1968 constituted what might be called the First Golden
Age of Assassinationism. Then the movement suffered a near-fatal blow.
the proceedings and the report, an un-
popular position to take at a time when
the country was lionizing the Warren
Commission as a model of legal probity.
After 15 publishers had rejected his
manuscript, Lane found himself in Lon-
don debating Warren Commission staff
counsel Arlen Specter on BBC-TV. Sid-
ing with Lane in criticizing the report
was Hugh Trevor-Roper, the noted
Oxford historian who had earned dis-
tinction with his pioneering research on
the conspiracies of Hitler Germany.
Trevor-Roper observed that Lane's
manuscript lacked credibility and that
he, a best-selling historian, would provide
same by penning a glowing introduction.
He did, and Lane was launched.
The successful' bidder for the suddenly
credible manuscript was the firm of
Holt, Rinehart and Winston, then
owned by Texas oilman Clint Murchi-
son. When Murchison's friend J . Edgar
H oover first heard of H olt's interest,
he sent a top FBI aide to New York to
try to talk Holt out of the Lane contract.
That was a tactical error, accordin g to
Holt spokesmen: It was partially because
of the FBI's keen interest that Holt de-
cided to deal with Lane, and the book
that 15 publishers had rejected went on
to sell 1,500,000 hardcover copies and
millions more in paperback.
Shortly before Lane's Rush to Judg-
ment appeared in 1966, the fi rst book-
length attack on the Warren Report had
been privately publish ed. Its title was
WhitewaSh and its author was Harold
Weisberg, a former Congressional in-
vestigator and retired Maryland poultry
farme r who now ranks as the most pro-
lific author of all the Early True Dis-
believers. With no fewer than seven
books to his credit, each of them the
result of vast original research and a.II
but two of them privately published,
Weisberg is clearly different from the
rest of the pack. For one thing, he is a
professional investigator. In the Thirties,
Weisberg worked as an investigator for
Wisconsin Senator Robert LaFollette,
and during World War Two, he was em-
ployed by the Office of Strategic Services
as an intelligence analyst and researcher.
Weisberg became his own publisher
only after more than 100 publishers in
the U.S. and abroad had rejected White-
wash. Today, when the publishers wou ld
pay top prices for Weisberg's writings, he
won't go near them, preferring to
squeeze out a precarious living free
from the taint of commercialism.
Weisberg has also received attention
because he, more than any other assassi-
oationist, has tried to bait the Gov-
124
ernment with its own Freedom of
Information Act. In I 97 5, for instance,
Weisberg triumphed over the General
Services Administration in forcing the
declassification and release of key Warren
Commission transcripts; these were the
records of the executive-session dis-
cussions in which the subject of Oswald's
CIA and FBI connections was brought
up-and quickly squelched.
The year 1966 was a seminal point
in the history of the assassinationist
movement. Weisberg's Whitewash, pub-
lished Jate the previous year, was
followed in quick succession by Lane's
Rush to Judgment and Edward Jay
Epstein's Inquest. The Early True Dis-
believers' diligent work was at last be-
ginning to bear fruit and the vaunted
Warren Commission was beginning to
encounter sharp c riticism from non move-
ment sources. The Washington Post was
the first prestige newspaper to begin
probing into the assassination; its lead
was followed by other newspapers and
news magazines, and the next couple of
years constituted what might be called
the First Golden Age of Assassination-
ism. Interest in-and promotion of-the
subject kept the since-departed Life,
Look and the original Saturday Evening
Post alive well past their primes, and by
1968, no fewer than 30 commercial
books and 130 privately published manu-
scripts were in widespread circulation.
Theo, in 1968, the movement suffered
a near-fatal blow. T he politically ambi-
tious district attorney of New Orleans,
Jim Garrison, mounted a n inept prose-
cution/ persecution of C lay L. Shaw and
his gay Cuban caballeros and, in the proc-
ess, managed not onl y to lose the good
will of millions of sympathetic Ameri-
cans but also to tum the movement into
warring pro- and anti-Garrison camps
and to squander completely the support
of the prestige media.
Even before the Garrison debacle, how-
ever, there were signs that rationality
was givi ng way to Creakiness, as specula-
tive conspiracy theories metamorphosed
into assassinationist gospel. In White-
wash, for example, Weisberg had soberly
raised the possibility that there may have
been several Lee Harvey Oswalds, as
the Warren Report kept putting Oswald
in two or three places at the same time
(Mexico, Dallas, New Orleans); Richard
H. Popkin, a Washington University pro-
fessor, embellished the point in an article
for the New York Review of Books;
Garrison read the a rticle and " im-
proved" on the theory in his early public
pronouncements; Popkin then published
his successful book The Second Oswald,
in wh ich the theory was not only elab-
orated upon but also chiseled in stone
as Holy Writ. (Lane also adopted the
theory for the film he co-authored in
1973, Exec11tive Action.)
This transformation of idle speculat ion
into the one true word helped lead to
Garrison's downfall, and with it came
the end of phase one of the assassina-
tionist movement. At the height of pub-
lic and media interest in Garrison's
investigation, in early 1967, the Harris
Poll had recorded 66 percent of the
American public as disbelieving the
Warren Report's lone-assassin theory; by
the end of 1967, the figure had dropped
to about 60 percent and was to sink
even lower during the following months.
In 1968, a New Orleans jury acquitted
Shaw; in 1969, G arrison was tried- and
acquitted--on charges of bribery and
income-tax evasion; in 1970, the voters
of New Orleans retired the erstwhile
Jolly Green Giant fro m public service.
Along the way, the media had with-
drawn their sympathy for the assassi-
nationist movement, and abandoned their
interest in investigating assassination ist
theories. The N ew York Times and CBS
News found the movement to be ir-
responsible and deceitful. Newsweek was
downright bitter ; wrote White House cor-
respondent Charles Robert: "The assas-
sination industry's products would never
stand the scruti ny of Consumer·s Union.
Consumers buy its products as they buy
most t rash: The package promises satis-
faction, but the innards are mostly dis-
tortions, unsupported theories and gaping
omissions."
The fact that this was p retty much
the same thing that the movement had
been saying about the Warren Report
was of little moment. Jim Garrison was
beaten, and his cause was in disrepute.
The fri nges of the movement had de-
stroyed its center, and the demonologists
rushed in to finish it off. The Early True
Disbelievers scattered, some packing up
their files and storing them away fo r
another day; others, such as writer I
researcher Paris Flammonde, moved to
the hil ls to investigate flying sauce rs; still
others turned their critical fire on the
movement, with Epstein writing a sequel
to I nquest ti tled Counterplot: Garrison
vs. Everybody.
The movement rema ined moribund
the next couple of years, until the
double- and triple-knit fabric of Water-
gate began to come unraveled in mid-
1972. The mu lt iple conspiracies that
wove around the break-in and the cover-
up suddenly made thinking the un-
thinkable fashionably thinkable once

more. The press, for its part, rushed to
prepare regular doses of heady sensa-
tionalism for a public increasingly suspi-
cious of people in high places and, once
Watergate was reduced to a heap of
faded threads, fastened upon the subject
of assassination conspiracies. The f11edia
now told of abortive plots against Fidel
Castro, of apparently successful plots
against Rafael Trujillo, i\nd of resuscitat-
ed theories regarding plots against Presi-
dent John F . Kenned y.
The assassinationist movement was
flush as never before. The Early True
Disbelievers swung back into action-
Weisberg publishing an9ther volume
of Whitewash, Lane going Hollywood
with Executive Action~and there were
many new faces to keep them company.
Shortly before Jim Garrison self-
destructed, a successful criminal lawyer
and archetypal Latter Di\Y Convert
named Bernard "Bud" Fensterwald, Jr.,
had established in Washington the Com:
mittee to Investigate A~sassinations {"the
town's other CIA," The Washington Post
called it). Ironically, Fi:nsterwald, who
was later to represent James W . McCord
at the Senate Watergate hearings, had
first gotten interested in assassinology
as a res ult of a casual encounter with
Garrison during a New Orleans business
trip in early 1968; the district attorney's
enthusiasm for his then-popular crusade
had inspired Fensterwald to read the
Warren Report and subsequently to
organize the movement's own CIA, as a
clearinghouse for assassination research.
One of Fensterwald's first projects
was to recruit Richard Sprague, a com-
puter expert who is known in the move-
ment for his analysis of photographic
evidence, and for the two of them to
begin conver ting thousands of pages of
research to computer punch cards. Funds
were hard to come by in the post-Garri-
son days, however, and after raising only
$5000, the pair abandoned the project.
Another Fensterwald-Sprague venture
was a two~day conference at George-
town University, which was billed as a
commemoration of the tenth anniversary
of the Kennedy assassination but turned
into something of an assassjnationists'
homecoming party. Among the old-grad
Early True Disbelievers in attendance
were Sylvia Meagher, the World Health
Organization researcher whose A cces-
sories After the Fact remains a move-
ment text on the assassination; Haverford
College professor Josiah Thompson,
the ma n who first postulated the theory
that President Kennedy was killed in
a cross fire ; and Pittsbµrgh coroner Dr.
Cyril H . Wecht, fresh from a successful
duel with the National Archives, which
126
had resulted in pis getting a rare peek
at the Kennedy autopsy report. The
Latter Day Converts were represented
by, among many others, Robert Groden,
the young New York optics technician
whose image enhan~ement of the Zapru-
der home movie of the assassination has
received much recent media attention.
A las, the demonologists also showed
at Georgetown and, as one participant
later said, "their' presence w~~ clearly
divisive." The demon hunters and con-
spiracymongers had, of course, been
present in the movement from the be-
ginning; one of the earliest was Mae
Brussell, a 46-year-old California house-
wife and peripatetic writer-lecturer who
theorizes that Howard Hughes was
buried at sea by Aristotle Opassis in
1957, that Adlai Stevenson was mur-
dered with a cyanide-gas gun because be
knew too much about Dallas and that
J. Edgar Hoover was felled by two
Cuban domestics who fed him poisoned
apple pie.
In the Sixties, however, the demon-
ologists, like Brussell, were an isolated
minority who, after Garrison, were
totally ignored. Within the Latter Day
Convert wing, they are far more vocal
and insid.ious than qefore; they ·are ac-
corded space on meeting platforms along-
side the most respected researchers, and
the press listens closely to their lurid tales
of dark conspiracy, hoping for the clue
that will break open the next Watergate.
The movement's new undisputed
c h ~mp i o nof demonology- and prime
disturber of the Georgetown affair-is
a muscular, paraplegic court researcher
from Chicago, Sherman H. Skolnick,
whose credo is "H we don't act weird,
nobody wlll pay attention." Skolnic!c re-
ceives a good deal of attention.

swarthy, gun-toting, sinister-looking fel-
low from Gary, Jndiana, named Alex
J . Bottos, Jr. At the push of a tape-
recorder button, Bottos will happily
spin nonstop tales of a megacorporation
world conspiracy run by the Rockefel-
lers ·and the Rothschilds, with the active
complicity of the CIA, the British MI-5
and the Italian Mafia. (Skolnick is
also occasionall y assisted by Alan J.
Weberman, the reformed Yippie and
celebrated Dylanologist whom some
movement members suspect of being a
Government infiltrator; after all, Web-
erman's book, Coup d'Etat in America:
The CIA and the A ssassination of John
F. Kennedy, was published by th!! very
same firm-The Third Press-that pro-
duced Jerald terHorst's friendly biog-
raphy of Gerald Ford!)
Although presently all roads lead
from Dallas to Watergate in the Skol-
nick-Bottos Welta11Scha111111g, they some-
times detour at Chicago's Midway
Airport-for it was Skolnick's remark-
able explanation of how a United Air
Lines flight came to crash at this little-
used terminal in December 1972 that
thrust him into the pantheo·n of move-
ment crazies. The flight, which originated
in Washington and which carried CBS
News corrcspon9ent Michele Clark and
Mrs. E. Howard Hunt, was made to
crash, according to Skolnick's theory,
when the pilot a11d ere~ were felled by
cyanide. Skolnick 's explanation: Mrs.
Hunt was on the lam from the Watergate
gang and was carrying $2,00b,OOO in
cash and negotiable securities, which was
Nixon's hush money for the · White
House plumbers; Miss Clark was onto
the story and was purs uing Mrs. Hunt
for the detai ls.
It was a lot of story to S\Yallow, but
the press had a go at it. Even The
Washington Post assigned a reporter to
check it out and carried a long front-
section piece on Skojnick ·and his theory;
the article concluded that Skolnick was
nuts-but still, he w'as in the Post.
The phenomenon of the assassina-
tionist movement's post-Watergate ren-
a issance was best · exemplified at a
three-day conference held at Boston
University in early J 974, under the spon-
sorship of the fledgling Assassination
Information Bureau. The A.l:B. had ex-
pected that perhaps 500 p~ople would
register for the multimedia conference;
instead, 1500 showed up.
As drawing cards, the A.LB. had im-
ported a few of the diligent, earnest
Early True Disbelievers. But the mem-
bers of the audience were not interested
in some gray-haired researc)ler's boring
litany of facts and statistic;! ; what this
conspiracy"-hungry group had come to
hear and see were the Latter Day demon-
ologists. A manifesto calling for the
politicizi.n g of the assassination-con-
spiracy question during tht: 1976 elec-
tions was read; petitions demanding that
Congress investigate Dallas were circu-
lated; scabrous books and scandalous
pamphlets were hawked; sessions were
jammed to overflowing; films had to be
repeated several times; fights broke out,
factions were rent, new alliances were
formed, and a good time was had by all.
A movement had been reborn and had
grown to raucous adolescence in a few
short months. Observed one of the A.LB.

iponded that the agency was not an
investigative one and could not take
Part in any criminal investigation.
- The spokesmen were reticent
ibout releasing information on John
Arthur Paisley. As a matter of poli-
cy, the CIA doesn't disclose com-
plete biographical data on its offi-
cers; various aspects of their ca-
reers could provide clues about se-
cret operations and thus compro-
mise the agency's "sources and
methods."
In its public statements, there-
fore, the CIA portrayed Paisley as a
rather unimportant intelligence of-
ficer and analyst. Prior to his retire-
ment in 1974, Paisley had served as
deputy chief of the CIA 's Office of
~ Strategic Research, which assesses
•• Soviet nuclear forces, and the agen-
cy emphasized that he was just an-
other senior analyse, having nothing
to do with clandestine operations.
After further prodding, CIA
spokesmen acknowledged Paisley
was a "consultant" to the agency
when he disappeared, but they In-
sisted he bad no access to highly
classified information since be re-
tlred.
· N~vertheless, another John Ar-
thur Paisley emerges from informa-
• tion supplied to this reporter by ex-
tremely authoritative intelligence
sources in Washington. Paisley was
an unusually important CIA figure
involved in some of the most sensi-
·tive agency operations since the late
l-940s. Until Sept. 23, he was privy
t.O highly secret intelligence materi-
Als. These are tbe highlights of "the
P..a.isley connection:"
v Within two years of his offi-
cial retirement, Paisley was
.brought back by the CIA to coordi-
nate efforts to evaluate the Soviet
nuclear threat - one of the ·agen-
cy's most secret projects. From Au-
gust 1976 on, he had access to high-
ly classified intelligence documents.
He bad been working on materials
)"elated to this project aboard his
sloop when he vanished.
v When the 31-foot Brillig
washed ashore, it was carrying so-
phisticated communications equip-
ment designed for secret transmis-
llons.
v During tbe 1960s, Paisley
helped debrief Yuri Ivanovich No-
senko, the senior KGB defector in
the United States. Paisley and No-
senko later became friends, and the
CJA officer frequently visited him
bl his North carolina hideout -
most recently, last spring.

John Arthur Paisley
what Senate investigators familiar
with the case have described as one
of the "spookiest" cases ever in-
volving a CIA officer.
John Arthur Paisley's final drama
began in the late afternoon of Sat-
urday, Sept. 23. He had sailed
aboard the sloop Brilllg that morn-
ing from a Solomon islands moor-
ing, at the mouth of Patu:xent River,
to Hooper Islands on the eastern
shore of Chesapeake Bay - a short
and easy easterly crossing - with
friend or friends unknown. The
mooring belongs to Col. Norman
Wilson, a retired Air Force officer
who was Paisley's friend for,,-10
years and who had served in a top-
secret post in the Defense Intelli-
gence Agency.
According to Wilson, he was told
by a person (whom he will not iden-
tify) sometime during the day that
Paisley wanted to be called on the
radio. Wilson contacted the Brillig.
as he recalls, between 5 p.m. and 6
p.m., and Paisley advised him "be
would be in after dark," asking that
the dock lights be left on. This was
the last anyone heard from Paisley.
At 10:30 the next morning, a Na-
tional Park Police ranger notified
the Coast Guard station at St. Ini-
goes, on Chesapeake Bay, that two
pleasure craft reported sighting a
vessel under fuJI sail aground at
Point Lookout, where the Potomac
River runs into the bay. The ranger,
who had driven to Point Lookout,
ascertained that nobody was
aboard, and "that there were no
tracks in the sand, leading to or
from the boat." It was then that he
called the Coast G~rd.
Shortly afterward, the Coast
Guard refloated the Brillig and
towed it to St. Inigoes. "The condi-
tion nf thP hnat wa<: as vcu1 would

Fingerprint identification was still
possible since one hand was rela-
tively unscathed, but. incre'1ibly,
neither the CIA nor the FBI had
Paisley's fingerprint sets in their
records. A CIA spokesman ex-
plained to this reporter that while
all agency employes are finger-
printed with impressions sent to the
FBI, in this instance they were "in-
advertently destroyed" in the bu/""
reau. /
Maryland police, having made rro
attempt to lift fingerprints from the •
boat, said that on Oct. 19 the FBI
came up with a set of prints. (No
prints were lifted from Paisley's
apartment or office, either.) Police
said they were voluntarily given to
the bureau by Paisley when he was
17. The prints were filed under the
name "J~ck Paisley." If indeed John
Paisley's fingerprints were not lift-
ed from his boat, office or apart-
ment, it is iQlpossib ·
whether the "Jack Pa ger-
prints belonged to John Arthur
~~
Five days after the autopsy, a
dentist who had treated Paisley re-
portedly identified as his work an
upper plate removed from the
body's mouth. The den tist has re-
fused to discuss his findings with
reporters.
The body identified as Paisley's
was ·cremated a fe w days after the
autopsy at a funeral home in subur-
ban Virginia. But the hands were
first severed and sent to the FBI.
Spokesa;aen for federal agencies
have refused to discuss the reason
for this. To date. the FBI has not
disclosed the dlspositi of the se-
vered hands.
Also puzzling are~e etalls of
Paisley's demise. The fatal bu!let
entered bis head behind his left ear,
a bizarre form of suicide, if suicide
it was. Paisley's body was weighted
with 38-pound diving belts. Was
this an attempt to conceal a suicide?
Family attorneys say insurance
payments on his two policies would
have been made even if there had
been a finding of suicide. Paisley's
psychiatrist and a woman friend
said he bad given no clues of con-
templating suicide.
The mystery continues. Intelli-
gence sources say Paisley's sloop
was equipped with a "burst trans-
rPrvPr " a radio dPvirP dP.~i~nPd to
 CIA: the office hand.ling funds for
foreign clandestine operations. Her
immediate superior was Katherine
Hart, wife of an agency officer who
had dealt extensively with Nosen-
ko.
v Paisley contributed to the
top-secret manual on the operations
of the American KH-11 spy-in-the-
sky sateJJite, the most sophisticated
.in this generation of orbiters, tar-
geted on Soviet strategic deploy-
ments. This was the manual sold in
Athens last summer to the KGB, the
·soviet secret service, by a CIA offi-
cer, who was convicted last No-
vember on espionage charges.
. The Senate committee investiga-
tion could hardly have come at a
worse time for the CIA. Cracks in
internal security have been bedevil-

tdp-secret documents and the talk
. about whether a Soviet "mole" - a
deep-cover operative in a high-level
position - bas penetrated the U.S.
intelligence community. In addition,
the CIA's ability to collect and ef-
fectively evaluate foreign intelli-
jence is regularly challenged.
- Some policy-making officials in
the Carter administration are un-
happy with the agency's assessment
of Soviet rocketry, and the CIA
failed to anticipate the crises in Iran
and Nicaragua despite clear signals.

".Not the least among the CIA's
problems is Paisley's widow, whose
loyalty to the agency seems to be
flagging. Having worked closely
with CIA security officers after
Paisley's disappearance, she recent-

Dear Sir:
This is a request made under the Freedom of Information
Act, 5 U.S.C. 552-
This request is made on behalf of the Assassination
Archives and Research Center, Inc. (AARC), a non-profit
organization headquartered in Washington D.C. which collects
information and conducts research into the circumstances
surrounding political assassinations, particularly those of
President John F. Kennedy and the Reverend Martin Luther
King, Jr.
The AARC requests access to or copies of all records
pertaining to its founder, Bernard Fensterwald, Jr. Until
his death in 1991, Mr. Fensterwald was also the President of
the AARC. Mr. Fensterwald was born in Nashville, Tennessee
on August 2, 1921- His Social Security Number is 414-22-
1934. His Service number. is 142274. At the time of his
death, April 2, 1991, Mr. Fensterwald resided in Alexandria,
Virginia and worked in Arlington, Virginia and Washington
D.C.
The AARC requests a waiver of all fees connected with
:the processing of this request.because release of the 1
· ir1for:rriaticr1 will sig·r-;ificantl~i cd?B!Eibute tc the pu0lic s
understanding of the activities ~nd operations of government-
Mr. Fensterwald s military and civilian government career
1

spanned over two decades, including a substantial tenure on

the staff of the United states Senate. During that time, he
was engaged in numerous.projects, activities and
investigations about which your agency amassed a sizeable
number of records. In addition to giving the public insight
into the projects Mr- Fensterwald was involved in, release of
the records sought will shed light on the extent to which he
was the subject of government surveillance.
The same is true of Mr. Fensterwald's private career

Dear Hr. Fensterwald:

This is to acknowledge receipt of your 3 March 1992
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, submitted on behalf
of the Assassination Archives and Research Center, Inc. (AARC),
for "copies of all records pertaining t~ its founder, Bernard
Fensterwald, Jr."
To conduct an effective search of our files for information
on an individual, we need the full name, the date and place of
birth, and nationality. Without these we may be unable to
distinguish between individuals with the same or ·similar names.
If the person is deceased, we need some evidence of death,
such as a death certificate, an obituary, or press statement,
so that we can be sure there are no privacy considerations.
Although we can search without this evidence, if we should
locate relevant records and did not have such evidence, we
might have to withhold information that, if released, ·would be
an unwarranted invasion of that person's privacy. Privacy
rights are addressed in the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) and the
FOIA [S U.S.C. 552(b)(6)).
Since you are requesting information on behalf of the AARC
for records on its founder, as a matter of administrative
discretionJ fees will not be assessed in this particular
instance.
We will be unable to take any further action on your
request until you provide us with the information requested
above. Your request will be held in abeyance for 60 days from
the date of this letter pending your reply.

Reference: F92-0485

Dear Mr. Fensterwald:

This is to acknowledge receipt of your 30 April 1992
letter regarding your 3 March 1992 Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) request, submitted on behalf of the Assassination
Archives and Research Center, Irle. (AARC), for "copies of all
records pertaining to its foundl r,
1

Bernard Fensterwald, Jr."

Now that you have provided the information requested in

our 7 April 1992 letter, we have accepted your request which
will be processed in accordance lwith the FOIA, ~ 1J.S.C. 552, as
amended, and the CIA Information Act, SO U.S.C. 431. Our search
will be for documents in existerlce as of and through the date
of this acceptance letter. I

The heavy volume of FOIA requests received by the Agency

has created delays in processin~. Since we cannot respond
within the 10 working days stipulated by the Act, you have the
right to consider this as a denfal and may appeal to the CIA
Information Review Committee. It would seem more reasonable,
however, to have us continue prdcessing your request and
respond as soon as we can. Youican appeal any denial of
records at that time. Unless we hear from you otherwise, we ~.!!!.:·
will assume that you agree, and we will proceed on this basis.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director lof Central lntellig<?nce

SUBJECT: Kennedy Assassination - \l/arren
I
Commlaalon Report

l, This memorandum is for your information.

2. The attached letter ls.Bernard Fensterwald's request

for photographs in connection wi h tho Warren Commission Report.
You will recall that one photogralph of the unidentified man -in
• I
Mexico City is in the open rocor d and tho now unclas•lfied papers
pertaining to it speak of photogr1phs. Under thea e circumstances,
1

I took the position that we could not withstand a request premised

on the Freedom of Information .Met, and CI Staff readily agreed
to mako available other photogr~ph" of the same man for Mr.
Fensterwald 1s inspection.

3. Mr. Fen•terwald callj'e to my office this morning with

his partner, William G. Ohlhausen. looked at the other photo-
graphs, and told us .he did know who the man was, He said he is
presently a ervlng a prison term laomewherc in"""""the United Stat ea
and admitted that he had known 0swald, but Mr. Fen•terwald
said ·there was nothing to indicat e any connection between the man
1

in the photographs and the assaslsinatlon of :President Kennedy.

Mr.· Fensterwald did not give usl the man's name at this time, as
he said enough people had au!fe+ od unnece~sa'.'!ly from allegations
that they were associated with tl\e assassination, but he did say
1

he we.a sure we had a file on the man. Ho asked if ho could have

.-·
 ORJ-·DocID: 192258 -·

.·.

the photographs, and I asked how he would use them. He said

he did not kno,,:, and finally agrded that for the time being he
would not pr!'S B his request. ··:1then returned their Check for
$2:0. 00. The whole meeting w s extremely friendly and they
thanked us for our response. ·

. 4. ~~I Staff, who was with me, said that,

from the n a f qgave as being of interest to them, they
appeared to be following down kome of the same old tracks
tha_t the FBI had thoroughly in~estlgated and found to be · ~
unprofitable. They did say, however, that they expected to
sti:r the p-ot in due course. ·

Mr. Richard Helrns, Directo'l

Central Intelligence Agenc~
Langley, Virginia

Dear l1r. Helms:

On January 4, 1971, the C.I.A. declassified a document,

signed by' you in March of 1[64, and addressed to Mr. J.
Lee Rankin, Counsel to the !President's Commission on the
Death of President John F. Kennedy. The recently declassi-
fied document, the date of ~hich is difficult to read, is
identified as Commission No. 674; a copy is attached for
purposes of identification.

You will note a reference in paragraph 2 of the document

to "photographs of an unidehtified rnan who visited the
Cuban and Soviet Embassies ~n [Mexico] City during October
and November 1963." In par~graph 4, you informed the Com-
mission that Mr. Willens orlMr. Stern could view the "pho-
tographs of unidentified man that are in our £ile."

·
Having .I ·
con d ucte d an·ex t ensile investigation into th e rnur d er · - -
of President Kennedy, we feel that we might be a:ble to
identify the man in the photl ographs. Being aware of the
1

requirements of the Freedom of Information Act, we enclose

our check for $ 20. 00 to cov er the cost of making copies of
1

the photographs. If there li.s a greater charge, please in-

form us, as we are desirous of obtaining the photographs
without delay.

Sincerely yo~rs,

1. Attached herewith is a Washington Post article of

24 May 1973 which provides a cdnsiClerable amount of signifi-
cant information concerning Be~nard Fensterwalcl, HcCord'-'i
attorney. It is to be noted that Mr. Fensterwald has been
closely associa.ted with the Codmittee to Investigate Assassi-
nations, and there is refercnc~ to the fact that some of the
Watergate participants may hav~ been involved in a plot to
assassinate President Kennedy ~n Paris at one time . . .It spe-
cifically indicates that as ea~ ly as last December he called
1

a Washington Post reporter con erning an abortive attempt to

assassinate President Kennedy in 1961 in Paris by some of the
Watergate con~pirators. Attention is.also drawn to the fact
that Fensterwald is said to ha~e first become involved in
McCord's behalf when he was approached by a mutual friend
named Lou Russell, who was seeking assistance in raising
McCord's bail.
2. The Security file o~ contains
considerable amount of signi~icant data <irectly relatin~

To open this, Hr. Fensterwald, can you describe what
your collliiiittee plans to do . . .

came. bo.cJ( from Russia, his fare ;,as p4id by the State
D2p&..r~:-nent on the 1·1ay baclc; t.tC~ applie4 for a passport
in Wew Orleans to go to l-'iexico _ He got that passport
in 24 hou:c-s and the Warren Commission has 1/2 a volume

presi6ent would de--classify the documents, or de-clas:si:fy

a certain number of them. Almost all the docuIT.CrttS.
I

o:f any relevance to the Oswald trip to Mexico are still

classif'ied. \Ve havent the faintest nbtion what he
went to Mexico :for. '"':,

WEBB: One thing that I find difficult to add up

in my mind is, what the motives of' alh. the different
peoT)le who r.rnst have been involved in suppressing
this evidence could·be.
'larious r;roups ,.,ho are at lae;erh eads Niht each
ether - one administration-another ~dministration;
1

~SI-CIA; Attorney General etc etc etc. In orde~ to

prove some sort o:f conspiracy must all have been
involved in suppressing this documentation. 3:01.,r
can we explain that - their motive in ·supnression it.
I -

?El~STER'J!ALD: Well, actually the docu.'llentation

has been suppressed by one very sirr,p:ile technique
,.,hich is normal and that is that the !agencies that
ori.r:;inate documents are allm·1ed to classify them.
So actually nobody except the FBI, CIA, Secret Service
and State Department ar_e involved in I this. .

· It's not a large group of peo9l<T who suppress

these documents- The Warren Commission itself
didn't suppress it; i t ' s the a~encie~ themselves that
[",ave suppressed i t . I

'.i'he FBI said which of its documents would be

classif'ied and which would not . . .
