It must be emphasized that in rehashing evidence and facts
pertaining to the assassination that have long been discussed
by crities we are not judging such evidence, but only making
what we regard to be the very important observation that such
evidence should have been acted upon, even though it might sub-
sequently have been proven baseless. This is important, for the
clear implication is that in light of evidence of a conspiracy
our authorities had no fear about the `conspirators, and could feel
safe while refraining from action directed at apprehending them.
What is interesting-and merits further exploration-it that this
pattern of actión where it is uncalled for, and inaction where
there should be action, may be discerned in major foreign policy
behavior of the post assassination government.
Post Assassination Foreign Policy Shift
We have heard it said that one of the reasons one may have
found inaction on the part of the ,government, such as failure
to place road blocks or cut off transportation from the assass-
ination side, by whatever means, may have been due to the fact
{
that there was a traumatization as' a result of the assassination.
What is revealing, however, is that the same government which
has failed to act for over four years on evidence suggesting a
conspiracy, actually swing into amazingly fast action in an
area where one might have anticipated a slow feeling of the way
The fact is that after the assassination key foreign policy
changes were immediately put into effect.
