Month In Review -- December --
1963 -- Larry Huff, serving as navigator, departs Kaneohe Base in Hawaii in a C-54-T aircraft, serial number 50855, for Wake Island, with Chief Warrant Officer Morgan as pilot. Huff states there are ten to twelve CID military investigators on this flight. They go to Atsugi to research Lee Harvey Oswald. This report disappears from Marine Corps files. The report will conclude that it could not be Lee Harvey Oswald alone involved in the assassination.

Dan Rather -- In 1993, Rather was a CBS Evening News anchorman. In 1963, Rather was bureau chief for the CBS affiliate in Dallas. He was in charge of setting up CBS's coverage of JFK's visit to Dallas. He claims he was on the west side of the triple underpass at the time of the assassination, waiting to pick up a reel of film shot during the motorcade, but photographic evidence suggests that he was not there. Rather was the first man to approach Abraham Zapruder following the assassination to acquire his film of the shooting. According to WC Counsel David W. Belin, "[Rather) took the film and was able to have the processing of the film expedited." Rather viewed the film and later misrepresented it to the American public, saying that JFK's head snaps forward instead of backward from the impact of the fatal shot. He was the first to report the name and background of the accused assassin. From that point on, Rather's rise to the top was rapid. In recent years, his career has been marred by controversy, including an incident in which he was mugged by a man who kept repeating the phrase, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" When former CIA director George Bush wanted to rid himself of his "wimp" image during his campaign for president, he chose to confront Dan Rather on live TV to accomplish this. In a February 6, 1992, AP interview, Rather said he was "at the end of the motorcade route outside the plaza, waiting for the final 'film drop' for the motorcade's camera crew...The motorcade never passed me. Here comes the limousine, but it seems to be going awful fast and it sort of streaks by in a blur. And I sensed that something was wrong. I had no idea. I had heard no shots." Rather ran into Dealey Plaza-he didn't say whether he went under or over the triple underpass-and "Now I had in front of me the grassy knoll, the School Book Depository. God, the chaos and confusion! People were on the ground, screaming. Police were running around. It was clear then...something was wrong." The AP reports that Rather "sprinted the few blocks back to the CBS affiliate, and heard the first radio bulletins that shots had been fired in Dealey Plaza...Rather called [Parkland) and confirmed the death with emergency room witnesses, breaking the story 17 minutes before the official report that the president was dead." "It was the longest 17 minutes of my professional career," Rather said. (See also Jackson, C. D.; Tilson, Tom) Sources: WCE 1937, 2983, 3101 • BELIN 182-3 • CF 68 • HT 89, 117-8, 327, 418 • FMG Ill, 91, 96-7 • BE 319, 429.
"Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others." -- John F. Kennedy
