We are forwarding herewith a reprint of the article "A Reporter At Large: Garrison", published in 21X NE4101:KER, 13 July, 1968.- It vis.vritten'tije Edward Jay Epstein, hi=elf author of a book, ("Inquest"), critical of the - Warren Commission Report. 2. The wide-spread campaign of adverse criticiswa-the U.S., host recently again provoked by the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, appears to have revived foreign interest in the assassination of his brother, the late Fresident Kennedy, too. The forthcoming trial of Sirhan, accused of the murder of Senator Kennedy, can be expected to cause a new wave of criticism spdsuspicion against the United States, claiming once more the existence of a sinister "political murder conspiracy". We are sendicg you the attached article--based either on first-hand observation ty the author or on other, identified sources--since it deals with the continuing investigation, conducted by District Attorney-Garrison of New Orleans, La. That investigation tends to keep alive speculations about the death of President Kenney, an alleged "conspiracy", and About the possible involvement of Federal agencies, notably the FBI and CIA. 3. The article is not meant for reprinting in any media. It is' forwarded primarily for your information and for the information of all Station personnel concerned. If the Garrison investigation should he cited in your area in the context of renewed anti-U.S. attacks, you may use the article to britef interested contacts, especially government and other political leaders, and to demonstrate to assets (which you may aseign to ccunter such attacks) that there is no herd evidence of any such coeepiracy. In this context, assets esy have to explain to . their audiences certain basic facts about the U.S. judicial system, its separation of state and federal courts and the fact that judges and district attorneys in the states are usually elected, not appointed: consequently, D.A. Garrison can continue in office as long as his constitueats re-elect him. Even if yslur assets have to discuss this in order to refute�or at least weaken-anti-U.S. propaganda of sufficiently serious impact, any rersonal attacks upon Garrison (or any other public personality in the U.S.) imust be strictly avoided. 7114;e;-: At coon Kroll:U.4, -41.01,1=011 per para. 1 � an .111�109enig MEM. kr0 lint3011.
