Part 1, CIA Incriminates Itself By Assassinating JFK Conspiracy Theory
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Herein are excerpts from a compilation of documents published
    under the Freedom of Information Act in the book:

           "Documents", by Christy Macy and Susan Kaplan,
              compiled under the sponsorship of the
                Center for National Security Studies, and
                   published by Penguin Books, 1980

... those who publicly cast doubt on the integrity of members of
the Warren Commission and questioned the veracity of its report
on President Kennedy's assassination were looked upon harshly by
the intelligence community.

In 1966, when over forty percent of the American people expressed
reservations about the Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey
Oswald was the sole assassin, the C.I.A. decided to launch a
WORLDWIDE campaign to discredit the Commission's critics. The
following document, suggesting ways of effectively stifling
accusations of official cover-up and Government conspiracy once
and for all, was sent to C.I.A. stations throughout the world.

1. OUR CONCERN. From the day of President Kennedy's assassination on,
there has been speculation about the responsibility for his murder.
Although this was stemmed for a time by the Warren Commission
report (which appeared at the end of September 1964), various
writers have now had time to scan the Commission's published report
and documents for new pretexts for questioning, and there has been
a new wave of books and articles criticizing the Commission's
findings. In most cases the critics have speculated as to the
existence of some kind of conspiracy, and often they have implied
that the Commission itself was involved. Presumably, as a result
of the increasing challenge to the Warren Commission's Report,
a public opinion poll recently indicated that forty-six percent
of the American public did not think that Oswald acted alone,
while more than half of those polled thought that the Commission
had left some questions unresolved. Doubtless, polls abroad would
show similar, or possibly more adverse results.

2. This trend of opinion is a matter of concern to the U.S.
Government, including our organization. The members of the Warren
Commission were naturally chosen for their integrity, experience,
and prominence. They represented both major parties, and they and
their staff were deliberately drawn from all sections of the country.
Just because of the standing of the Commissioners, efforts to
impugn their rectitude and wisdom tend to cast doubt on the whole
leadership of American society. Moreover, there seems to be an
increasing tendency to hint that President Johnson himself, as
the one person who might be said to have benefited, was in some
way responsible for the assassination. Innuendo of such seriousness
affects not only the individual concerned, but also the whole
reputation of the American Government. Our organization itself is
directly involved: among other facts, we contributed information
to the investigation. Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown
suspicion on our organization, for example, by falsely alleging
that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is
to provide material for countering and discrediting the claims of
the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit the circulation of
such claims in other countries. Background information is supplied
in a classified section and in a number of unclassified attachments.

3. ACTION. We do NOT recommend that discussion of the assassination
question be initiated where it is not already taking place. Where
discussion is active, however, addressees are requested:

a. To discuss the publicity problem with liaison and friendly
elite contacts, especially politicians and editors, pointing out
that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as
humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without
serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only
plays into the hands of the opposition.

   To those who want to support a sincere investigation of the
   assassination of President Kennedy, I would suggest that we
   need to couple the power of citizen unity with the most powerful
   societal instrument that we, as a nation, have at our disposal.
   And that is the law under the Constitution of the United States.

   A highly dedicated public interest legal action institute
   which might accept the challenge, if prevailed upon by enough
   supportive citizens, is the Christic Institute. Please contact

If we seriously listen to this "God within us" ["conscience",
if you will], we usually find ourselves being urged to take
the path of more effort rather than less. Each and every one
of us, more or less frequently, will hold back from this work.
Like every one of our ancestors before us, we are all lazy.
So original sin does exist; it is our laziness.
