Gaeton Fonzi, American Hero, has Passed

[Adele Edisen]

I will always remember those words said to me by Gaeton Fonzi when I met him at one of the Dallas November meetings. I told him of the efforts of my attorney who had written letters to Senator Frank Church, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Intelligence, and to Senator Daniel Inouye, the subsequent Chairman of that same Senate Committee, and to Representatives Richardson Preyer and Louis Stokes of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) over the years of the existence of these committees, offering my testimony to them. None of the committees appeared interested in hearing my testimony, although Senator Inouye did express his interest, but his aide to whom we were referred did not.

In fact, neither Representative even replied to my attorney's letters at all.

I asked Mr. Fonzi why had there been no reply, and he said, "They didn't want to open that door..."
