Over the phone, we timed the whole thing and it was fifteen to twenty minutes too long, and so we kept looking for things to cut. Didn't he get you the final copy just a few hours before your speech? That's the way I recall it. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the original was longer than the material you read.Ya John and I talked several times on that Sat as well and some of the paper was deleted. But it was actually only more like 5 minutes over. JJ had said to just leave off the end but the end was far too important, so together we made some deletions. I was able to get it all in in time. And had about 5 min for q and a. Oswald's phony "friend" tried to take over the q and a and show that JA was wrong but I was ready for him.
