(62,444 posts)Late in 1964, Bobby asked me to review the Warren Commissions newly released report on the assassination because emotionally he couldnt do it. The commission had been established by President Johnson seven days after Jack was killed in Dallas, and was charged with determining who had shot Jack, and why. John appointed Earl Warren, the former California governor and chief justice, to chair the commission
.When I reached him by telephone, Warren told me he would be glad to give me a briefing and go over the parts of the report that were particularly contentious and likely to generate the most questions from the press and public. I remember the commissions office as large but spare, about half the size of the attorney generals office
.Warren gave me a full briefing, as Id requested. I asked many questions. The whole process took about four hours. Afterward, I reported to Bobby that I accepted the commissions report and thought he should too. Bobby agreed readily. He did not want to continue to investigate Jacks death. (page 211)
Considering that Ted knew, as he wrote True Compass, that the book would be published after his death, what sort of inducement do you propose was used to get Ted to play ball.
