I havent't had the time to enter the list I have, upto now, but here it is. It's from "The assassination of John F. Kennedy, a comprehensive historical and legal bibliography, 1963-1979" by DeLloyd J. Guth and David R. Wrone, an excellent book. All numbers in the following list are references in this book. Boy, I really would like to have all the material described here: (2) THE ASSASSINATION SCENE IN DALLAS An indeterminate number of slides, still photographs, and motion pictures were taken during and immediately before and after the assassination. Scores of photographers pro- duced tens of thousands of individual frames. Neither the federal investigative agencies nor the WC nor its staff sought to bring these essential, fact-fixing records into the evidentiary base upon which the investigation of JFK's assassination was conducted. On the contrary, they actively discouraged citizens from presenting their film to the WC, often refusing offers, delaying responses for months until the integrity of the particular unit was impaired or destroyed, and in other ways acting to exclude film. For example, the Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas Field Office sent an Airtel cable to Director J. Edgar Hoover on 19 Dec. 1963 stating: No effort is being made to set forth the names of news media throughout the country who made photo- graphs or films in Dallas on 11-22-63. [DFO File 100-10461-1478a] Critics immediately sought to define, preserve, and make known the existence of many of the film records; it is largely through their persistence that portions of photo- graphic records survived. The HSCA's strictly limited use of the photographic records heavily exploited the work of critics for some data. A complex and evolving subject with film still being discovered and little serious work having been done on it, no listing can be complete. The list presented here is restricted to the assassination scene and omits the many photographs found in the WC 26 volumes of Hearings and Exhibits. M = motion picture P = still photograph MC = motion picture color PC = still photograph MB = motion picture black color (slide) and white PB = still photograph TV = television film black and white 195. Allen, Richard. M: Amateur's edited footage which was incorporated into President Kennedy's Last Hour [251]. 196. Allen, William. PB: Dallas Times Herald photographer who snapped 73 shots of Dealey Plaza, the inside of the TSBD, and also three shots of "winos" being taken in for questioning. 197. Altgens, James W. PB: Associated Press photographer who snapped 73 photos, seven at the time of the motorcade and the rest that afternoon. A crucial picture taken from the south side of Elm depicts JFK clutching his throat with a figure, said to resemble LHO, standing in the TSBD background. It is the subject of intense controversy. The FBI severely cropped the picture, used as evidence by the WC. Washinton Post, 23 Nov. 1963; Shaw [2213] and es- pecially Weisberg [735]; [See 3665]. 198. Alyea, Thomas P. TV: WFAA-TV photographer who at the first sound of gunfire ran toward the TSBD with his Bell & Howell, 70 DR, 16 mm, filming as he ran. Inside the TSBD he took five reels as the police made their initial search of the interior, including the discovery of the alleged murder weapon, the alleged sniper's nest, etc. The FBI refused to acquire the 500 feet of film which totaled 25,000 frames until many weeks later, after the studio had severely edited the reels for a composite single reel and the integrity of the evidentiary value was impaired. Remnant frames exist. Weisberg [1075], 39-40, 121-23, 274-75. cont. next post --- Xenolink 1.0 Z.3 * Origin: Ukukalu!

MC: Amateur standing on the corner of Main and Houston whose 8mm film recorded the motorcade turning onto Elm past crowds before the TSBD. The FBI severely cropped one frame for presentation in CD 1 [91] by removing infor- mation essential for understanding the time and place and carefully mislabeling it as being taken at 12:20 rather than the actual 12:30, the time of the assassination. In WR 644 the error is continued with the second part in the footnote reference to a non-existent source, while the first part is to data other than is claimed. The two figures appearing in the windows adjacent to the alleged sniper's window are presumptively asserted by officials, and replicated and enhanced by CBS [2690], to be the central point at issue, but the empty alleged sniper's window and the empty fifth floor windows where the WC said the alleged earwitnesses sat at the time the assassi- nation was in progress are the evidentiary points raised. Thompson's map and discussion [732] ignore the empty window and FBI misrepresentations and focus on tangential issues. Weisberg [1075] is basic. cont. pt.4 --- Xenolink 1.0 Z.3 * Origin: Ukukalu!
