JFK Conference: David Talbot named Allen Dulles as 'the Chairman of the Board of the Assassination'

67. You should read it again.

Katzenbach in consultation with Bobby Kennedy gave Abe Fortas the names. That's what that memo clearly says. That's what Johnson says later in his memoirs.

Dulles' name came from Bobby Kennedy. This is not a problem for me, because I don't think Dulles was covering up anything to do with the Kennedy assassination. I think if he was there to cover up anything, it was the efforts to overthrow or assassinate Castro, something Bobby was a large part of (assassinations he might have plausibly denied, but efforts to overthrow Castro? Bobby was all about that.).

This is only a problem for you, Octafish. You're the one who thinks Dulles is Satan incarnate, covering up the successful CIA plot to kill Kennedy. Bobby giving Johnson his name is a mighty big dose of cognitive dissonance for you. But there's no need to muddy Bobby Kennedy with these foul suspicions. You can always come back into the light.
