Did Katzenbach ever explain his now infamous memo either in his memoirs or interview?

[Edwin Ortiz]

Thanks

That memo was declassified for the HSCA and was presented to them in public.

Katzenbach said he wrote it because the State Department was bugging him about questions abroad. About a conspiracy.

But he never mentioned that Hoover had written a memo similar to it the night before.

Or that Rostow had talked to him about setting up a blue ribbon committee right before he wrote it.
