Jack Ruby’s roommate, George Senator (seen here with attorney Melvin Belli in December 1963), could have cleared up this and a few other minor mysteries on the periphery of the JFK assassination. He chose, understandably, to keep quiet, dying in relative obscurity in 1992.

Good morning and good day. I did this short “doc” on Jim Koethe and Bill Hunter. The two reporters that visited Jack Ruby’s apartment the night of Oswald’s assassination. There are so many questions yet to be answered. I appreciate you checking it out.

In July 1964, outgoing Attorney General Robert Kennedy received a memo from LBJ’s national security advisor (and close friend of the Kennedy family) McGeorge Bundy, on the slow progress being made by the Warren Commission: “…We had hoped that the report might be at hand and ready for publication well before the Democratic Convention, but it now looks as if a schedule so tight might lead to slipshod work either by Rankin's draftsmen or by the Government Printing Office. So the Commission now plans to present the report to the President about August 31, and he expects then to order its prompt publication, with a release date of Monday, September 14.”

Bundy also addressed care being taken to get the Commission’s findings to major media outlets in time for the big rollout of the Warren Report: “…In this and other respects we expect to seek the advice of an advisory group on the handling of publication, which might consist of such people as Scotty Reston, Walter Lippmann, John Cowles, Frank Stanton, and perhaps Kay Graham.”

Bundy also sent RFK a three-page rough outline of the main areas that would be covered in the Commission’s report.
