GARY NULL:
We're allowing you to make the decision, rather than making it for
you. We'll be back with this special investigative report. 
Eighteen more [one-hour] parts to this series to come. Bit by bit,
we're laying the information out. It's too much to lay out all at
once. It would be too confusing. .....

..... one type of cover-up, and that involves the assassination of
President John F. Kennedy. Later on in this series we'll be dealing
with other issues, other forms of cover-up. 

Most Americans, for a long period of time, believed the Warren
Commission, which said that two bullets fired by one man, who had
no connection to anyone, killed the President. There was never a
detailed effort to try to understand the inconsistencies, the
missing or altered evidence, nor the media's compliance with this
particular single view. We are now looking at new information and
trying to see whether or not the American Public has been given all
the information by the media to allow it to make an intelligent
decision about what really was involved.
 
My guest on today's program is Jerry Policoff from WXIX-TV in
Cincinnati, Ohio, a researcher since 1966 whose articles on the
assassination of John F. Kennedy appeared in GALLERY MAGAZINE. He
has also written for ROLLING STONE, NEW TIMES, THE REALIST and
other publications, and in the op-ed pages of the New York Times
and the Washington Post. Most recently he wrote a very fine article
in the VILLAGE VOICE, co-authored with Robert Hennelly.

My other guest is Jim Marrs, author of CROSSFIRE: THE PLOT THAT
KILLED KENNEDY. He is also a reporter for the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram. He was a reporter for the Denton Record Chronicle at the
time of the assassination of John Kennedy. He teaches at the
University of Texas at Arlington on the assassination of JFK.
Welcome to our program, Jerry Policoff.

JERRY POLICOFF:
Hi. How are you?

GARY NULL:
and welcome to our program, Jim Marrs.

JIM MARRS:
It's good to be with you.

GARY NULL:
Jim, we're going to begin with you, and I'm going to be giving
information, through you, which the American Public simply has not
been made generally aware of, so we can throw new light on this
entire issue. I'm going to run through some issues with you. I'd
like for you to address them. First and foremost, let's try to
understand all the different things that occurred in Dealey Plaza
that most people had not even considered; not even the Warren
Commission. We've been led to believe that it was just part of a
regular motorcade; that this man just HAPPENED to have known the 
[details of the] motorcade, planted himself there in very short
order, and was able to get off what is simply the fastest, most
accurate shooting in the HISTORY of marksmanship -- and that that's
how it went down. Nothing outside of that occurred that should
throw any suspicion upon this. And, by and large, most of the media
in America, for all these years, has accepted that.

Quickly, let's go through it and decide what happened on November
22nd of 1963 in Dealey Plaza: the motorcade, the crowd, the suspicious
men, the "babuska lady", the Texas School Book Depository, the
districting[?] seizure, the man in the doorway, the Oswald encounter,
the triple underpass, the smoke from the grassy knoll, the third
wounded man, the Zapruder Film, the "black-dog man", the "badge man",
the grassy knoll witnesses ..... Let's go through all of this so
that the American People can know that, all along, this information
was available, that people were coming forward, and that this was
excluded from being properly investigated or reported on.

JIM MARRS:
Right.  And I think you've pretty well touched on it here. If you
look at any one single issue in this whole case, then there is
always doubt, there is always the possibility of a coincidence, or
maybe of just a mistake, or whatever. But you have to look at this
evidence in its totality. All of this evidence -- everything we
could talk about -- still comes back to one thing. And that is the 
"single bullet theory". The "single bullet theory" says that one of
the bullets struck both Kennedy and Connally, causing seven wounds
to these two men, including shattering Connally's fifth rib and
shattering his wrist bone. Now if the one bullet did not hit both
men, then there has to be more than one shooter, in which case,
we've got a crossfire; we've got a conspiracy. And that elevates
this thing to a whole new ball game. So I'd like to address that
first.

They knew how long the assassination took because of the Zapruder
Film. The FBI diligently checked his camera and  found out that it
ran at eighteen frames per second. So they know that all of the
shooting happened within 5.6 seconds.  Alright. Now, within 5.6
seconds it is physically impossible for one man with a bolt-action
rifle to fire more than three rounds. Hence, they had to say that
there were only three shots fired.  Alright. Two of those shots are
accounted for, which leaves only ONE bullet to account for the
seven wounds to Kennedy and Connally. So how did they go about
this?


They simply told us -- and they are STILL TELLING US (people within
the Warren Commission: [President] Gerald Ford, David Dillon[?])
are STILL telling us that the bullet went through Kennedy's neck,
did not hit anything, and then went on to hit Connally. In fact,
the Warren Commission Report itself, number one, "Findings", said:
"President Kennedy was first struck by a bullet which entered at
the back of his neck and exited through the lower front portion of
his neck."   Now the problem is that this is a small, but critical
LIE. And I say it's a lie because I'll prove it to you in just a
minute.  The President was struck in the back. Okay? And they were
unable to probe the wound. However, even if they had probed it,
they claimed that it went upward and exited out his neck. Now --
there's no question about this. The autopsy face-sheet shows it.
It's marked "verified" by his personal physician. The autopsy
doctors were quoted in the Seibert-O'Neill Report as saying that
the wound was in the back -- the middle of the back. everybody says
that. The shirt and jacket, which are still available, plainly show
a bullet in the middle of the back. The death certificate says:
a wound in the posterior back at the level of the third thoracic
vertebrae. And even Glenn Bennett, one of the Secret Service agents,
in his report from hand-written notes on the day of the
assassination, said that he saw the shot hit the President about
four inches down from the right shoulder.

    Now that we know that they have systematically deceived and 
    betrayed the American People, that they have subverted our   
    democracy, that they have replaced our democracy with their 
    oligarchy, their plutocracy .... now that we know, do we intend
    to do something about it, or do we intend to just lay back and 
    accept our gradual decline into totalitarianism and poverty?
    The ruling elite intends to dissolve the American People's liberty 
    and prosperity so gradually that it won't upset us enough to 
    drive us to rebel. As patriotic citizens, we must care enough   
    about our inalienable rights and about our human dignity to 
    uphold them. As loving parents, we must care enough about the
    the dignity and the human rights of our children to redouble our
    resolve to preserve their most precious legacy.

    Daniel Sheehan and Gary Null are striving to inform the people of the 
    truth concerning the Government-sponsored political assassinations 
    and their cover-ups which have crushed the people's democratic spirit
    throughout the past thirty years. They also want the American people
    to know that President Kennedy was trying to stop the ruling elite
    from concocting a major war in Vietnam, and that's why they murdered
    him. They then went on to murder fifty-eight thousand young Americans 
    of my generation and two million Vietnamese people. The ruling elite 
    fabricated the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War strictly for profit
    and for their greater world empire. The ruling elite increase their
    wealth by robbing us of our earnings in so many subtle ways, and 
    they increase their power by robbing us of our liberties.

    We must all unite in our common defense, for we are all suffering, 
    and we will suffer increasingly as victims of the ruling elite   
    who have never relaxed in their neurotic pursuit of ever-greater
    wealth through ever-greater domination of our people and of all 
    peoples of the world.

    These old men who rule from the shadows showed us the magnitude of
    their evil when they scattered President Kennedy's brains all over
    the streets of Dallas. They have had some thirty years in which to 
    intensify their power by usurping our democratic power. We haven't 
    a day to waste. Please write to Daniel Sheehan and express your
    support for his public-interest lawsuits against Government crimes 
    and the cover-ups which are fabricated under the duplicitous guise 
    of "the national security".
