BUSH, C.I.A., AND THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION


We have all heard or read about the Iran-Contra Affair. George
Bush, of course, says he had no knowledge of the arms for hostages
scheme. Yet a multitude of documents have conclusively shown him
to be "in the loop" regarding this incident.

Many of us have read bits of information on the so-called 'October
Surprise' and the holding of U.S. hostages in Iran until the
Reagan inauguration in 1981. Again, Mr. Bush says he had no
knowledge or involvement in such an incident.

Yet, as telling as the above questions may be as relates the
ethics and patriotism of our President, virtues he has no qualms
in questioning in Gov. Clinton, we must go even further back in
Mr. Bush's sordid and lackluster public service to get at the
heart of the matter. Another, even more formidable question must
be asked of President Bush. What was his role as a C.I.A. employee
in Dallas on November 23, 1963?

Mr. Bush, has until now admitted only to working for the Central
Intelligence Agency in the role of Director, a job offered to him
in the early 70's. But a November 29, 1963 memo from F.B.I.
Director J. Edgar Hoover names George H. Bush as the C.I.A.'s
representative in Dallas the day after the Kennedy Assassination.
According to the memo, Mr Bush was briefed on the on-going
questioning of Oswald by F.B.I. Agents. The next day Oswald would
be shot dead by Ruby.

During the 1988 Presidential Race Bush's Chief of Staff was asked
to comment on the Hoover memo and the then Vice President's
service in the C.I.A. The campaign's first reaction was to deny
Bush employment in the Agency in the early 60's. They said it must
be another George H. Bush. Another George Bush was found who had
worked for the C.I.A. during that period, and when asked, denied
any knowledge of a Dallas briefing. It was later found that this
George H. Bush was a low level analyst.

For those interested in further reading on this important topic, I
suggest the book, 'Plausible Denial', by Mark Lane.

What makes this tidbit on Bush even more interesting is that while
no direct evidence links Mr. Bush to the actual Assassination
Plot, the Agency is directly implicated in the Assassaination and
evidence has stood up in Court. Mr. E. Howard Hunt, a long-time
C.I.A. employee delivered money to the triggermen in a Dallas
Hotel the night before the death of President Kennedy. As stated,
this was proven in a court of law in the early 1980's, also
referenced in the Mark Lane book.

So the question of Bush's involvement in C.I.A. activities in the
early 60's is relevant. And it would be interesting to know why he
denies being in Dallas the day after the Assassination of John F.
Kennedy.

If you find this compelling, please help and see to it that the
question is asked of George Bush. Pass this information on to
someone who is in a position to force the question, whether it be
the Clinton Campaign, the Media or Congress. The American People
have a right to know.
