Whitmey's three-part "Priscilla and Lee..." study was originally written in the early 1990s, and first appeared in THE THIRD DECADE and THE FOURTH DECADE magazines. This research was cited by editor Jane Rusconi in "JFK: The Book of the Film." His "PJM and the CIA" article also appeared in THE FOURTH DECADE.

This research is very important: Ms. McMillan was responsible for providing most of the information regarding Lee Harvey Oswald's personal life to the press - and the public. And, although she has testified that she never worked for the CIA, the House Select Committee on Assassinations reported that she -did- apply to work for the CIA in 1952, and subsequently provided "cultural and literary information" to the CIA.

In a FBI memo dated November 23, 1963, the State Department advised the FBI:

"...Priscilla Johnston [sic] ... also had contact with Oswald in Russia. [Priscilla was] formerly [a] State Department employee at the American Embassy and [her] contact with Oswald was official business."

Whitmey's detailed research makes the reader wonder just what exactly McMillan's relatonship was with governmental agencies...and how much we should trust what she wrote.

Mr. Whitmey has made several corrections to this new release, and I am pleased to be able to make this research available on the Internet.
