REFERENCES 1. We are forwarding herewith a reprint of the article 4'A Reporter At Large: ' Garrison", published in THE NEW YORKER, 13 July, 1968. It was written by Edward Jay Epstein, himself author of a book, ("Inquest"), critical of the , - Warren Commission Report. 2. The wide-spread campaign of.adverse criticism of the U.S.,-.moit recently again provoked by the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy, appears to have revived foreign interest in the assassination of his brother, the late President Kennedy, too. The forthcoming trial of Sirhan, accused of the murder of Senator Kennedy, can be expected to cause a new wave of criticism anUsuspicion-againat- the United States, claiming once more the existence of a sinister "political . We are murder conspiracy". sending you the attached article--based either on first-hand observation by 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.tokeep alive speculations about the death of President Kennedy, an alleged "conspiracy", and about the possible notably the FBI and CIA. involvement of Federal agencies, 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 be cited in your area in the context of renewed anti-U.S. attacks you may use the article to bri/ef interetted. contacts, especially government and Other political leaders, and to demonstrate to ... assets (which you may assign to counter such attacks) that there is no hard -- � evidence of any such conspiracy. In this context, assets may 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 constituents re-elect him. Even if your assets have to ,..... discuss this in order to refute--;or at least weaken--anti-U.S. propaganda of sufficiently serious impact, any personal attacks upon Garrison (or any other-public personality in the U.S.). must be strictly avoided. .Document Numbet kIlla.987 d ...
