Apparently he thought Dooley was on contract with us or something. I discouraged him from that notion, and he is attempting to get someone else to cover it. I have put through a telephone call on this matter with a small brief to Brannigan. This is a very interesting maneuver. FENS TERWALD I learned is not only McCORD's lawyer, but also ST. GEORGE's.

WASHINGTON. D. C. 20006 [phone] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ROBERT SMITH DIRECTOR OP RESEARCH In observance of the tenth anniversary of President Kennedy's death. the COMmittee to Investigate Assassinations is sponsoring a two!-day Conference at Georgetown University on November 23rd and 24th. � A. brochure describing the Conference And its program is attaChed. As you will note, several of the Nation's prominent writers and investi- gators'of the assassinations of the past decade will speak. While a number of different points of view on the subject will be represented, there is general consensus that the Executive Branch has failed to make known all the relevant facts of the assassinations. We believe that the Congress must ultimately take the initiative if the public is to learn all of the facts, and that Watergate has shown us that Congress' action depends largely on disclosures by an informed press and other news media. A press pass will 'be available for you at the Conference registration desk.
