NARA
It has
come to my attention from this video tape that President Kennedy had a
dictabelt taping system installed in the Oval Office to record conversations
and phone calls.
The
recently published book The Inheritance - by Christopher Fulton, says that
these Oval Office tapes were appropriated by JFK's secretary Mrs. Evelyn
Lincoln and inherited by the late Mr. Robert White.
According
to Fulton, Mr. White made six cassette tapes of the original dictabelt tapes
and gave them or sold them to Fulton, who his publisher says still has
them.
Can you
tell me what became of the original dictabelt tapes? When White tried to
auction much of the collection he inherited from Mrs. Lincoln, the government
confiscated some of it. Did the government get the Oval Office dictabelt
recordings?
If so,
where are they?
If not,
what became of them?
I
understand that there are many Assassination Record Review Board (ARRB)
documents regarding Mr. White and his interaction with the review board, and
White reluctantly acknowledged to the ARRB that he had possession of the
dictabelt tapes, and I hope to visit the NARA soon to review these
records.
What I
would like to know is whether the original Oval Office dictabelt tapes that
Mrs. Lincoln willed to White are in the JFK Collection or at the JFK Library in
Boston?
Thank
you for your time and consideration in this matter.
