and his wife just moved from Long Beach and he asked Ingram
how Ingram knew where he lived. Ingram told him that he had
a para-legal locate Phelan for him. Ingram told him that the
para-legal had probably checked with voter's registration
records, the post office or driving records. This seemed to
satisfy Phelan's curiosity. Phelan then asked to again
examine Ingram's identification card. Ingram handed him
the identification card and a business card as well. Phelan
closely examined both cards.
Phelan then asked Ingram why he wanted to talk to him.
Ingram told Phelan that he had learned that Phelan had
interviewed Clay Shaw for a Penthouse Magazine interview that
appeared in the November 1969 issue. Ingram showed Phelan a
copy of the interview which has a large photograph of Clay
Shaw and Shaw's name in large letters below the photograph.
(See addendum #1) Ingram told Phelan that he wanted to
interview him as he was one of the few reporters, if not the
only reporter, to have personally interviewed Shaw. Ingram
told Phelan that he did an excellent job when he interviewed
Shaw and, because of the recent controversy surrounding the
release of the film JFK, Ingram wanted to interview him about
other details concerning Shaw. (The highly controverial
movie "JFK", produced and directed by Oliver Stone, was
released about four weeks prior to the interview) Phelan
then invited Ingram into his home and asked him to sit on the
couch in the living room. Phelan then offered Ingram a cup
of coffee, went into the kitchen and returned with cups of
coffee for he and Ingram.
Ingram next drew Phelan's attention to a Penthouse
question on page 30 and to a portion of Shaw's answer on page
68. Both the question and the partial answer had been
previously highlighted by Ingram. The question read
as
follows:
"Penthouse: In his public utterances, Garrison
repeatedly declared that the CIA had a major role in the
Kennedy assassination. In this connection, the Rome
newspaper Paesa Sara published a long story alleging that you
were connected with an "international commercial
organization" named Centro Mondial Commerciale, which Paesa
Sara termed "a CIA front.' What is your explanation?*
The partial answer read as follows:
"I have never had any connections with the CIA. "
Ingram asked Phelan if he had seen the movie JFK. He
replied that he had seen it twice. Phelan also stated that
he was currently writing an article about the movie and its
conclusions, however, he refused to identify the publication.
Ingram then pointed out that the the movie stated that the
