Actually they admitted he didn't act alone and that there was a conspiracy. Not that they have lifted a finger to obtain any justice or any thing resembling it since. But I agree it would be a good thing to make an apology to LHO if only because they were extremely negligent in keeping him safe. Ahem....
The only cause I can think of which might have even a slight chance of uniting the research community is a push for an official pardon or apology to LHO and his family. In 1979, the USG basically admitted he was innocent.
It's an idealistic concept, but worth a try I reckon.
