JFK Conference: Bill Kelly introduced new evidence - adding Air Force One tape recordings

80. Many in the Cabinet were over the Pacific, en route to Tokyo...

...Pierre Salinger can be heard on the Air Force One tapes calling for information about the President. Gosh, it breaks me up, hearing "Wayside" trying to restrain the anguish in his voice.

The Cabinet was heading for some important, but pre-planned shindig. J. Gary Shaw writes in his book Cover-Up, "that Secretary of State (Dean) Rusk, Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, Interior Secretary Stewart Udall and Labor Secretary W.W. Wirtz, as well as other administration officials like White House Press Secretary (Pierre) Salinger, were trapped in an airplane over the Pacific Ocean at such a critical time."

I agree with several others who have wondered why Salinger was not with the President in Dallas. He might've asked "WTF?" on seeing the motorcade and security arrangements in Dallas.

The thing that is most treasonous that few Americans know: Two weeks before Dallas, Secret Service in Chicago had busted up an attempt by a team of four shooters. Same schema, high powered rifles, skyscrapers, JFK in open car, making a hairpin turn. Knowing all that, the Secret Service allowed the motorcade in Dallas.



One of the agents who helped break up the Chicago plot was the first African American Secret Service Agent to serve on the White House detail, Abraham Bolden. He was personally selected by President Kennedy, whom he describes in this address at JFK Lancer.
