Phil: What is your source for that quote? Keepng in mind that Gonzalez was one of the first driving forces behind HSCA, I have never accepted the reasons for his leaving. Seems too superficial given his early drive- (early 70's)- and committment. We understand what happened to Richard Sprague, HSCA's first Chief Counsel, largely from Gaeton Fonzi's account in The Last Investigation. Fonzi addresses Gonzales' departure as well, but all accounts have left me with many more questions than answers. Your post adds one more question.
I had always hoped to travel to San Antonio and try to interview Gonzales about this matter. Work and other committments prevented such. I wonder if he ever discussed this with his son of the same name.
Is anyone aware of any books or articles where Gonzales' bares his soul on his role in and exit from HSCA? Especially their bs findings, under cover-up artist Blakey.
