New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JIM MARRS [author of CROSSFIRE]: Well, first just let me say that the one thing I think that everyone including Mr. Weisberg, including Gerald Ford, including David Bigeley(?), including everybody who is connected with this thing at this point .... I think the one thing that we can all agree on is that there is substantial controversy over the death of President Kennedy and over the subsequent investigation and the medical evidence. Now, in this particular case, that confusion, that controversy, that obfuscation, if you will, is the basis of what can legitimately be called "the cover-up". There should not have been a cover-up. There should not have been this confusion. This was a case .... this was the President of the United States, for God's sake. There was an autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital. There was treatment at a reputable hospital: Parkland, in Dallas. And there should not be this confusion. There should be some very clear-cut answers based on scientific, medical, forensic evidence to say: "Here's what happened. He was shot three times from the rear." Or: "He was shot once from the front and once from the rear." It should be very clear, but it's NOT. It is TOTALLY muddled. It is TOTALLY in confusion. And THAT is the nature of this cover-up. Not that there has never been any information, but that there has been so much information, and so much CONTRADICTORY information that it has thrown the whole thing into confusion and controvery, so that we can't seem to get to the bottom of this. I think that is very self-evident. Now, who has the power to do that? And who CAN do that? And who could have saved us from all of this? The Federal Government! The Government who supposedly had him autopsied. The Government who supposedly is in charge of the investigation. It should have been clear-cut, but it's not. And, to me, that shows, in an overview, that the Government has been responsible for all this confusion, rather than clearing it up and actually presenting us with factual information as to what happened. So this is what is causing all of the problems, because the Government is STILL saying: "Well, there's nothing there. It's all cut and dried." And yet, it's not. You can look at the evidence for yourself. For instance, in the medical evidence, I could go down the whole list of doctors in Dallas who said that he had a large gaping hole in the right rear portion of his head. Even Clint Hill, the Secret Service agent who jumped up on the back of the car in a vain effort to save his life; in his Warren Commission testimony he says, quite bluntly, quite to the point: "The right rear portion of his head was missing." End-quote. Okay? How much clearer do you want to be? And every doctor in Dallas backed him up. Doctor Jones says that there was a large defect in the back side of his head. Dr. Perry said: "I noted a large evulsive wound in the right parieto-occipital area." I could go on and on and on. They all said the same thing: that there was a gaping hole in the right rear portion of his head. But today, we have an autopsy photograph that has come out of the Government that purports to show the back of President Kennedy's head, and there's no large gaping hole there. All there is is a small hole that the House Committee told us was an entrance wound. And yet, the autopsy doctor, Dr. Humes, in his testimony to the House Committee said: "Well, I don't know what that was, but that wasn't any wound of entrance. And I know that for sure." Okay? So what's going on here? I mean, the confusion points the finger at what REALLY is going on, and at who is generating all this. And it's the Federal Government! GARY NULL: Alright, so let's take a look here. You're suggesting that the Government, or various members of different areas of the Government have participated in a systematic cover-up. JIM MARRS: Absolutely! For instance, the Warren Commission tells us -- and the people who defend the Warren Commission to this very day tell us -- that one of the shots (it started off that it was the first shot. Now they're backing up by saying: Well, maybe it was the second one or the third one) .... but one of the shots, they say, went through Kennedy's neck and did not hit anything. It went on to strike Governor Connally, causing all of his wounds -- which has become known as "the single bullet theory"; this idea that one bullet went through both men. This is the foundation of the "single assassin theory". Okay? If you don't have one bullet going through two men, then you've got more bullets, which means more shooters, which means a conspiracy involving more than one gunman. So to keep from having to admit that, they came up with the "single bullet theory" which says that one bullet went through Kennedy's neck and struck Connally. Now, the problem is that the bullet did not go through his neck. The Warren Commission plainly states that it hit him in the middle of the back -- the third thoracic vertebrae, between the shoulder blades. Doctor Humes places it there in the Siebert-O'Neill FBI Report of the autopsy. His jacket and his shirt, in the National Archives, show a bullet hole in the middle of the back. Well, if there's a bullet hole in the middle of the back, and you try to track that to the throat wound -- which is what they do -- now you've got an upward trajectory, which destroys the idea that this bullet somehow cursed downward and struck Governor Connally. Plus, you've got Governor Connally's wrist X-ray, which shows that there are still more pieces of bullet in his wrist today than are missing off of the bullet that the Government still claims caused the wound. So it's very obvious that they're simply lying about what went on. We now have the January 27th minutes of the Warren Commission, in which their Chief Counsel admits that since we have a picture of where the bullet entered the back, that it's below the place where it came out the front. So how could it go and turn around, etc.? They knew it, and so they chose to lie to us and simply claim that the bullet went through his neck. And the supporters of the Warren Commission are still telling us the same thing, although this is totally opposite to what the medical evidence shows us. So it's a huge thing. You have to look at the totality of this case. Any one particular issue can be picked apart or explained away or rationalized as coincidence or happenstance, but if you look at the total picture, you can begin to get an understanding of what really went on. GARY NULL: Alright, Jim Marrs, I want you to hold on, because we're going to present some new information. By the way, Jim Marrs is an award- winning reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and he was a reporter at the time of the assassination for the Denton Record- Chronicle. He teaches at the University of Texas at Arlington.
