Subject: COPA 2013 Keynote Speaking Facing Visa Problems - Please Send Letters
Friends,
One of our scheduled and confirmed keynote speakers for this year's COPA conference in Dallas, Ernst Titovets, was Oswald's best friend in Minsk and has written a fascinating book about that period, Oswald: Russian Episode. He got a surprisingly hostile reception at his interview at the American Conuslate in Minks, Beylarus for his travel visa to the US for our conference. He has asked that polite letters be sent to the Consulate and Embassy on his behalf by people attending COPA who want to hear his talk. It has been a month since the interview with no response. I wrote and got an unsigned letter saying it was under consideration, a form letter. I asked two former Congress Members to write, and several prominent people. Please do not be hostile or critical in the letters, just send your support for him getting the visa. Thanks - John Judge

----------------------
I just wrote a polite, but strongly worded email to Goldrich. Please do the same and pass this message above to other JFK-related persons and websites! Titovets who I've long been in contact with is hardly controversial, IMO, but obviously something he knows is for the USG 'official version'. I can't guess what it is, but have my suspicions. It is possible, but HIGHLY unlikely that Belarus is asking this favor of the US.
