FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1966
STATEMENT BY REP. GERALD R. FORD, R-MICHIGAN REGARDING WARREN COMMISSION REPORT.
It is becoming urgent that the American people ask themselves one key
question concerning the criticism currently being leveled at the Warren
Commission report: In all of the critiques, has any new evidence been introduced
which would cast doubt on the findings of the Warren Commission? There is only
one answer to that question, and that answer is "no."
There has been much speculation about the Commission's report in recent
months. What touched it off? Primarily it was triggered by a student's thesis
and by the writings of an attorney whose services were rejected by the mother
of Lee Harvey Oswald at the time of the Warren Commission hearings.
That speculation of this kind should be used to undermine the conscientious
and thorough work of the Warren Commission and members of its staff is to do a
disservice to all of the American people and to the memory of the late President
Kennedy.
