It would seem to be a strengthening proposal if it
were possible tc plan with the critios for future action. A
way in which the involvement of the individual critics in research
projects would be as effortlessly acquired as the assignments you
gave Maggie while you were here. The creation of a práctical, private
in
and efficient form of communication betweenindividuals and your
office and from your office to them` is almost a necessity at this
point. Such a communication system would cement relations between
critics and reunite them in their new projects. I realize how totally
you have utilized their important research in all of your work but
it seems now that we must plan for an easier channel of communication
for the future which promises to require the greatest efficiency.
Now the report on my findings in Dallas and other points.

that the fatal shot was fired from this position.
