These excerpts are from the Johnson tapes where he is trying to convince Russell to be "his man" on the comittee: Quote on: Johnson: ...we've got to take this out of the arena where they're testifying that Khrushchev and Castro did this and did that and check us into a war that can kill 40,000,000 Americans in an hour... [later in the conversation] Russell: ...I can't do it [serve on the Committee]...I haven't got the time... Johnson: ...all right... we'll just make the time... Russell: With all my Georgia items in there... Johnson: Well, we're just going to have to make the time... there's not going to be any time to begin with.. all you'll do is evaluate the Hoover report he has already made... [still later...] Johnson: ...Secretary of State...of State... came over here this afternoon. He's deeply concerned, Dick, about the idea that they're spreading throughout the Communist world that Khrushchev has killed Kennedy... now he didn't. He didn't have a damnd thing to do with it... Russell: Well, I don't think he did it directly... I know khrushchev didn't because he thought he'd get along better with Kennedy... [and finally, there's this...] Johnson [referring to Warren]:...Well you want me to tell you the truth? You know what happened? Bobby and them went up to see him today and he turned them down cold and said NO. Two hours later I called him and ordered him down here and he didn't want to come. I insisted he come... came down here and told me 'no' twice and I pulled out what Hoover told me about a little incident in Mexico City... and I say now, I don't want Mr Kruschev [sic] to be told tomorrow and be testifying before a camera that he killed this fellow.. and that Castro killed him... This was taped on 29/11/63, days after Johnson had received the MC report which said that there was NO evidence to implicate Oswald in a conspiracy, or that Cuba or the Soviets were involved. It does show that Johnson knew Cuba and the Soviets weren't involved, but scared Warren into going on the Committee by indicating they WERE involved, and that it would be necessary to cover it up to save 40,000,000 lives. It also shows that Oswald's guilt was predetermined by Hoover, and that the main function of the Commmittee would be to make the evidence fit that conclusion. greg
