SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS? cont.

referred to in the FBI letter as having taken place "On June 12, 1964". An
FBI report of an interview with Tomlinson in November, 1963, would indicate
a time when his recollection of his activities at Parkland Hospital would be
fresher, by more than six months, than during the June 12th, 1964 interview.
Yet, no such November report is presented in evidence. Nor is Agent Odum's
report of the June 12th interview presented; reference to it being made only
in the FBI letter to the Commission.
If these omitted documents supported the Commission's version of
399's origin, and contained no information further clouding its authenticity,
to
why were they not presented?
Why did Mr. Specter not ask for a more specific description from
Tomlinson of precisely where he "found" the bullet?
Why wasn't Tomlinson asked what he did with it after "finding" it?
(Since Tomlinson's testimony was taken on March 20, 1964, Specter would have
to have been again engaging in clairvoyance to know that the FBI letter,
dated July 7, 1964, would"reveal" that after discovering the bullet, Tomlinson
called 0. P. Wright and "pointed out a bullet which was on a hospital
carriage at that location").
Why was personnel Director, o. P. Wright not even called to testify,
although it was from him that Secret Service Agent Johnsen says, in his two
reports, that he received the bullet; and to him that the FBI letter says
Tomlinson gave it?
By failing to call Mr. Wright, the Commission also avoided an
opportunity to ask him about a startling lapse; that nowhere in the entire

course of his four-page, single-spaced, typewritten report to Hospital
Administrator, C. J. Price (dated Dec. 4, 1963, and whose subject is listed
