   VINCE PALAMARA, I am a 1965 grad of Duquese, and would like to pass along the following. I do not believe there was a plot, or other shooter besides Owald. To think there was, requires Mrs. Kennedy and the Attorney General, JFK’s brother to be involved, because they were responsible for bringing JFK’s body to WDC, and the autopsies that have been used as evidence to create the “conspiracy” have used the botched autopsies. As Attorney General, RFK was the boss of the FBI, and as a Cabinent Member, with a brother in the Senate, they had ample opportunity and power to discover and prosecute a plot, if one existed. I happened to work on the 1979 House of Representatives investigation into JFK’s death, which was in my opinion, a political stunt that was partly the result of several authors seeking to help their book sales. Mark Lane comes to mind.
   As an FBI agent for 23 years, and one who worked at the White House as a liason agent for 20 years, I was aware of the animosity of the Secret Service towards Kennedy. I was also aware of the racism, and bigotry in the FBI. However, none of that, including Mr. Bolden’s innocence or guilt, has any bearing on JFK’s death. As a Duquese Grad in History, I would like to remind you that Lincoln was killed by a well known actor, in view of the audience. Despite that fact, many books have been written over more than a century, that Booth was not the killer, or that someone else killed, or particpated. Yes, there were others who took part in the plot to kill other members of the cabinent. Later evence has come to light that Mrs Surratt, a Roman Catholic, was convicted and sentenced to death because her son, who was a Confederate Agent, was in Canada at the time of the plot and subsequent assasination.

   I do not discount that Bolden was possible framed. I consider myself a whistle blower too, when I was dismissed and also had to undergo pyshiatric testing. But I filled a Civil Rights case against the FBI and won a settlementwhen the FBI finally admited they had broken the law regarding false testimony given against me. So I can belive Bolden may have been “framed”. But once again, that has nothing to do with the facts around JFK. Despite the racism and bigotry of some agents, many men were honest and disturbed by JFK’s personal life. I thing that should be understood. I would also state that despite what some in SS felt about JFK should have been left at home because it was their sworn duty to protect him.

   One last mention. With the experience I had in close contact with SS, I was aware of a constant tension betwen SS and the Advance Office who jointly plan political and other trips. SS wants the most security possible, and the political types want maximum exposure. During JFK’s tenure, the Presidential detail was much smaller, but the demands by the political staff have not changed. And my conclusion of the facts as I know them, are that SS was over burdened.
   In my years as an agent, I came to realize that “eye witness reports” are valuable, but not infallible. Most events, such as JFK’s death happened in a matter of seconds, in a confused state. Too many people loved JFK, my Father was in politics at the time and was a supporter of him, and he swore LBJ was behind the plot. He had me convinced he was, until I became an agent and heard first hand accounts from retired SS service Agents.

   If I have made speeling errors, I apologize. I am sight handicapped now, and must use a magnifying glass.
