A PUBLIC APPEAL TO WALT BROWN: Release Jay Harrison's Archive

[Dawn Meredith]

Question the timing.

I harbor immense respect for Joan. She is writing about the Texas "connection" to JFK's assassination at a time when LBJ-as-false-sponsor books and champions are proliferating.

And now Walt Brown, whose loyalties and agendas I consider to be suspect in the extreme, suddenly reverses direction and opens the Harrison Archive to Joan in support of her Texas project.

That Archive has been hidden away in Brown's custody for many years. The provenance of anything that now emerges from it, therefore, is suspect.

Suspect in the extreme.

Beware, Joan. Beware.

Joan has been at this book for many years. Walt has tons of raw data, much of it is of no value to most unless you want to know about a person's brother, uncle and every other member of the family. She loaded up many boxes. And had them for close to three years. I am not certain of a way this stuff can be shared, unless one does what Joan did and literally drive there. I too was most disappointed by what seemed to be the hiding/hoarding of Jay's files.

I will await her book before I reach any conclusions.
