"The Guns of Dallas"

                      The reason for the assassination
                was to control the power of the presidency.

                   --------------------------------------

     The following appeared in the October, 1975 issue of Gallery, a
     porno magazine which billed Fletcher Prouty as the "National
     Affairs Editor." Some people feel there is no credible way to
     justify associating oneself with such exploitative and demeaning
     media. Fletcher Prouty has told me that since the Ballentine
     paperback edition of The Secret Team was "disappeared" soon after
     it came out in February of 1974, it was very difficult for him to
     find publishers who would print his writings (from 9/74 to 7/75 he
     was able to get 7 articles published in Genesis (another porno
     magazine), and from 9/75 to 6/78 he got 14 articles printed in
     Gallery). Up until the Ballentine paperback was squelched, he had
     been published in the likes of The Nation, The New Republic,
     (including cover-story features), and Air Force Magazine. It is a
     telling indictment of the reality of the lack of public access to
     the mainstream corporate press, that a man like Fletcher Prouty --
     who served in the Air Force for 23 years, rose to the rank of
     Colonel, was a briefing officer in the Pentagon from 1955 thru
     12/31/63, serving also as Focal Point Officer (liason) between the
     DOD and the CIA, first in the Headquarters of the Air Force (1955
     to 1960), where he set up and then ran the structures that
     supplied Air Force logistical (military hardware) support for CIA
     clandestine operations world-wide, then in the Office of the
     Secretary of Defense (1960 into 1961), and then in the Office of
     the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1961 thru 12/31/63) where he ran the
     same support for all branches of the military -- that a man
     possessing such critical first-hand experience and knowledge of
     the mechanisms, methodogy and factual history of CIA covert
     operations in this seminal period, would find his writings and
     analysis of these important issues essentially barred from the
     most generally accessible publications. As long as the
     conglomerate press in this country continues to increasingly
     restrict the range and variety of points of view being published,
     writers will resort to certain types of publishers they would not
     choose to go to if they had a better alternative.

     This article included a great deal of photograhic evidence of the
     events in Dealey Plaza. The photographic research was by Richard
     E. Sprague. An asterisk character, `*', delimits pictures not seen

          The shocking nature of what you are about to read in
          this article makes it imperative that you be aware of
          some of the credentials and experience of the author.

          From 1955 to December 31, 1963, Col. L. Fletcher Prouty
          was the Focal Point (liason) officer between the
          Pentagon and the CIA. During 1962 and 1963 he was

          the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
