Statement from John Armstrong

[Jack White]

Jack,

At the appropriate time, please inform forum members as follows:

My main purpose for writing Harvey and Lee was first and foremost
to make some of my documentation, interviews, photos, etc.
available to fellow researchers. My hope was that researchers could
use these documents and information to supplement and expand
their own work and someday solve the JFK mystery.

My second purpose in writing the book was to link documents together
that appear to show that a young Russian-speaking boy assumed the
name and identity of American-born Lee Harvey Oswald. The original
purpose (1950's) was to allow the Russian-speaking boy to assume the
identity, background, birth, and family records of the real LHO (with
full knowledge of Oswald family members). Then, after serving in the
US Marine Corps, the Russian-speaking "Oswald" (Harvey) could
"defect" to the Soviet Union where his ability to speak and understand
Russian would give him the opportunity to spy for the CIA.

My third purpose in writing the book was to link documents together
that appear to show that American born Lee Oswald was used to
impersonate the "patsy" (Harvey) in the months leading up to
November 22 and help frame him for the assassination (at the
direction of the CIA).

Finally, it has never been my interest nor my desire to try and
convince anyone that my analysis of the documents (Harvey
and Lee) is correct. It is and continues to be my desire to provide
access to my entire collection of documents in order to help
researchers and allow them to form their own conclusions.
Accordingly, I have loaned my entire collection of documents
(over 100,000 items) to Baylor University so that all documents
could be copied and made available online as well as at Baylor's
Penn Jones Collection Library to people interested in the assassination.

John

Jack, Will these be available on-line?

They are not yet finished copying and indexing...which may take months.
I believe it is hoped that they may be online. There will be an index online
when the copying is all complete, and I believe hard copies may be ordered.
Remember, this is over 100,000 documents, and Ben Rogers at Baylor
only has a small student staff doing the work.

It will all be available at the Baylor Library in Waco, of course.
