Larry could not describe the other men very accurately, he
claimed his memory of the incident was not clear because he was
mainly upset with his own situation. None of the men he was held
with talked to each other nor to him. He did mention that all the
other men were dressed extremely sloppy and that he was the one
with a plaid or checked sport coat and an overcoat. Larry said that
if there was anything we would like to ask him at any time he would
be willing to help.
5) Considering all of the above I want to propose another
project for your evaluation. I have already begun to make a film for
my UCLA project, as you know. I had intended to make it a vehicle for
showing the Moorman Blow-ups and still feel it should be. Enclosed is
the Free Press treatment of the Blow-ups which I know you must have seen.
However, what would you think of this. A film suggesting, not definitely
or factually restricted, what type of ractivity might have taken place
in the instrumentation of the assassination and the escape of the var-
ious assassins. That is, a pictorial view of the physical location of
Dealey Plaza (realizing that it will soon be destroyed - do you know
that the Dallas City Council actually sent a telegram to Mrs. Kennedy
asking her to dedicate the new John F. Kennedy Parking Garage!!!) In-
corporated in this film would be the disclosure of the possible use
of the storm drain; entrance, use and escape; the positions and viewpoints
of each assassin behind the fence; the possible use of the grate to
the storm drain behind the fence; the view of Lee Bowers of the escape
of the two men behind the fence and the path the cars took as they left
the parking lot; then possibly picking up each assassin from the docks
of the TSBD and then the Dal-Tex building continuing on northerly away
from downtown Dallas; The escape of the assassin from the Records building
by surfacing up the street level elevator and walking down Houston street
(possibly not using the elevator to emerge but rather for Jack Ruby to
dissappear after viewing the assassination - as seen in Willis #8) then
seeing the corner of Commerce St. where a Nash Rambler picked up a man
(ref. "Three Assassins Killed Kennedy" Sat. Eve.Post) and watching the
Nash Rambler continue down Record St. turning left onto Elm St. con-
tinueing down to the Grassy Knoll where a man (Oswald or "Second Oswald")
comes down the incline from the Southwest loading dock and gets into
the car.
All of these things could be supported by narrative explain-
ing the testimony to support this curiously well fittin arrangement of
the puzzle pieces. Intercut into the actual seene of the shots and that
time period would be the view point of President Kennedy himself, as
he saw the men behind the fenbe, dranatically augmented by the use of
a 2001 technique and also the view of the man in the storn drain open-
ing. Outs of the pictures in the Life Magazine photographs of the
assassination from Zapruder, Hughes, Towner, Willis etcetera would
give the film better senee of reality of the incident and would heln
to locate the audience viewpoint. Finally, the showing of the blowums
from the Moorman Photo without explanation, merely starting with the
original photo in its entirety and proceeding 01 to the gradual devel-
opaent of enlargement after enlargement would dranatically indict the
audience to move from their apathetic uselessness to some sort of feel-
ing which night cause them to aet on what they have seen.
