Statement by a Department Spokesman
Mr. Edward F. Wegmann, a lawyer in New Orleans, wrote
the Department of Justice on May 24, 1967, requesting a
public clarification of news stories concerning his client,
Mr. Clay Shaw. He referred to an impromptu press interview
of the Attorney General on March 2, 1967. This statement
is in response to Mr. Wegmann's request.
The FBI investigation in New Orleans following the
assassination of President Kennedy covered allegations by
Dean A. Andrews, Jr. which included a reference to "Clay
Bertrand." "Clay Bertrand" was not identified as a real
person. No evidence was found that Clay Shaw vas over called
"Clay Bertrand.
The Attorney General's comment on March 2 that Mr. Shaw
was involved in the investigation was based on a briefing
that morning. The Attorney General has since determined
that this was erroneous. Nothing arose indicating a need to
investigate Mr. Shaw. As the Attorney General stated in the
interview, no connection between Mr. Shaw and the assassination
was found in the thorough investigation by the FBI.
The Department of Justice is convinced that Lee Harvey
Oswald alone assassinated President Kennedy.
