The Truth about the WC at Last

[Peter Lemkin]

Representative and House Majority Leader Hale Boggs (Dem, La)
disappeared while on an airplane flight over Alaska October 16, 1972.
The plane was never found.
It was William Jefferson Clinton who drove Boggs to the airport to catch that plane.


On April 22,1971, according to the Congressional Record,
House Speaker Carl Albert granted Majority Leader Boggs
permission to speak. Here is what Boggs said:


"Over the postwar years, we have granted to the elite
and secret police within our system vast new powers over
the lives and liberties of the people. At the request
of the trusted and respected heads of those forces,
and their appeal to the necessities of national security,
we have exempted those grants of power from due accounting
and strict surveillance. And history has run its
inexorable course.....Liberty has yielded.....The power of government has gained commanding ground

.....Mr.Speaker, I submit that 1984 is closer than we think."




On April 4th, 1971 Boggs told Congress (CR):


REP BOGGS: "What I am going to say I say in sorrow, because
it is always tragic when a great man who has given his life
to his country comes to the twilight of his life and fails
to understand it is time to leave the service and enjoy
retirement.
"Mr.Speaker, I am talking about J. Edgar Hoover, the
director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The time
has come for the Attorney general of the United States to
ask for there signation of Mr. Hoover.
"When the FBI taps the phones of members of this
body and of Members of the Senate; when the FBI stations
agents on college campuses to infiltrate college
organizations, when the FBI adopts the tactics of the
Soviet Union and Hitler's Gestapo, then it is time
--it is way past time, Mr. Speaker--that the present
Director no longer be the Director. ..."


According to Curt Gentry in his book J. Edgar Hoover;
The Man and His Secrets (New York: The Penguin Group,
1991): 'A few weeks earlier a (phone) tap was found in Boggs' home
by a telephone repair man.'

Hale Boggs had earlier stated that "Hoover lied his eyes out to the Commission".
