In my search I found this pull quote on line but not in the several book indexes I checked.
I see that its appearance on the Palamara page under the Underwood entry does not attribute the source to be Underwood.
I have reread Fonzi twice and haven't clarified Gonzalez' role between Sprague and Blakey.
I see Gonzalez' three-page Foreword in the 1992 revised edition of Weberman/Canfield's Coup d'Etat in America. Paragraph Two:
The pull quote re "taken care of" remains unattributed, tantalizingly so.
I had years ago tired of seeing the supposed Yamamoto "sleeping giant" quote used as genuine, so sought to find the instance of his having said it--and every road led to the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora!
Clearly one Democrat congressman had concerns for the president. I think the question I've sensed Charles positing is, "Was the Chicago kabuki for the purpose of numbing the victim before the sting?"
Gonzalez remained a skeptic at least through his 1992 Foreword, having been first moved to doubt by items he enumerates: 1) Agnew matter 1973; 2) Watergate hearings 1974; 3) and the retrospective:
"Also, I couldn't understand how an 'expert gunman' like Oswald could miss his target when he had a clear shot at General Edwin Walker shortly before November 22, 1963."

Quote:
"I had tried to dissuade the White House schedulers from including Dallas on the itinerary because of the climate of hate which prevailed there at the time against the President. But then Democratic Governor John Connally told us in the Democratic Congressional delegation the purpose of the trip was to raise funds for the 1964 Presidential election. So, after San Antonio, I continued with the Presidential party to Houston and then to Dallas where the President died."
