Lyndon Johnson and Mac Wallace - Joan Mellen

[Dawn Meredith]

OK one thing. I have no clue where she is obtaining her info on Hoffmeister and the reason he backed out. It was FEAR. He made the match, blind. Then when he realized it was the infamous Mac Wallace he backed out. And yes he did return the check to Barr. Joan knew this, J had told me this numerous times. As it was J who found both experts. THAT is what he told J. How this new story has come about I know not. In all our many conversations Joan never mentioned it to me. Peter at one point you posted words from Walt Brown, allegedly, to the effect that "we knew that" Nathan was not certified when he made the affidavit. Can you get verification of this for me. IF this is true Walt went on tv and lied- either way you slice it- as well as the conference. As he praised Nathan's credentials and referred to him as Certified.
When I have more time I will delve into this further, I have court and meetings I have to get off to. I also got your PM and will reply later.
I have not ever said that I personally believe LBJ sent Wallace up there as a shooter. I do not know how his print got on that carton. There are many explanations. I agree with Joan that Barr's book on the JFK evidence was horrible. More later.
