With the FBI’s report on Kennedy’s assassination, the Commission undertook to select staffers and figure out how to approach its work.
Chief Justice Warren complained about the leaks of the FBI report: ”I have read that report two or three times and I have not seen anything in there that has not been in the press.”
The Commissioners then held a wide-ranging discussion that touched upon:
–the medical evidence. (John J. McCloy: “This bullet business leaves me confused”);
–Marina Oswald and whether she might flee to Mexico,
–the ease of Oswald getting a wife out of the Soviet Union and obtaining a passport in New Orleans,
–Jack Ruby: (Hale Boggs: “One of the keys to this whole thing is Ruby.”)
Senator Richard Russell summed things up thusly: “There’s nothing absolutely normal about any phase of it.”
