There was no solicitation of falsity on my part.  David Lifton asked me
to provide him with a copy of the Perry-Clark news conference
transcript, which he learned from the late Thomas Stamm, a New York
researcher, that I had.  I supplied David Lifton with a copy of the
transcript that I obtained under FOIA from the LBJ Library in Austin,
TX.  The document was stamped with that library's imprimateur.  This is
the same copy that I provided to other students of the Kennedy
assassination during the mid- to late-Seventies.  The only thing that
distinguishes this copy from the original (which came from the White
House Press Office, not the Oval Office as Lifton erroneously states)
is that the original serial number contained on the front page of the
transcript had been crossed out, and a new one put in its place.  I
have a copy of the transcript without the crossout to authenticate my
discovery.  Lifton, however, wanted to say in his book that he obtained
a "CBS copy" of the transcript.  We argued about this, and I am still
unable to understand his persistence in attempting to falsify the true
state of affairs.  In the end, after I had sent Lifton a copy of the
LBJ Library version of the transcript, he independently ordered one
from that Library himself and falsely claimed in his book that he had
independently discovered it there.  He has never been able to
successfully skirt this issue of his outright deceptiion of his
audience in the intreest of self-promotion.
