Dear Anthony:

Here is the confidential research I'm working on.  I wish to share it with you to get your opinion, thoughts, ideas:

Years ago while going through the WC 26 volumes in a university library, I came across a copy of the sheets from LHO's clipboard.  At the bottom of one of the pages was, what looked like to me, a rough sketch of the streets of Dealey Plaza with targets (circles within circles within circles) drawn at four key points.  One is almost directly on the spot where JFK was shot in the head.  Two is on the grassy knoll.  Three and four are smaller drawn targets on what looks like Main St. near the underpass.

The clipboard was homemade by TSBD employee Frankie Kaiser.  Oswald used it during his period of employment.  It wasn't found until about two weeks after the assassination, by Kaiser, near the spot where the Mannlicher-Carcano was allegedly found.

If this was drawn by LHO, it was obviously done before the assassination and is extremely significant.  Unlike JFK or Jack Ruby, I have never come across any doodling by LHO.

My guesss is that this was not drawn by LHO.  I'm guessing that sometime during the two weeks between the assassination and the discovery of the clipboard, an investigator (DPD or FBI or SS) grabbed what he thought was a scrap piece of paper, and from one of the south TSBD windows roughly sketched the street layout of the plaza marking where JFK was shot and where some people thought a shot might have come from if one had been fired from the knoll.  My reason for theorizing this are the other two targets.  They seem to be at the spots where Jim Tague was standing and where the curb nick was located.  If so, no assassin could have foreseen a missed shot (or fragment hitting the curb and then striking Jim Tague.

But if it was drawn before the assassination, it opens up a whole can of worms.

BTW, if you want to see this clipboard sheet, "tomnln" scanned and posted it for me a few weeks on startext under the subject "Research Request."

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Personal Regards,

Randy O.

P.S.  I did show this to David Lifton at the ASK conference in 1993 and he went ballistic.  Martin Shackleford and I were having dinner together at the time.
