Our Nation Faces Questions Over Anti American Sentiment
The piece cites an unsigned letter titled The American Fact Finding Committee asking why the administration would endorse foreign aid while claiming Latin America turns anti American or Communist. It questions wheat and corn sales to enemies and notes references to Poland Hungary Cambodia Argentina. The Dallas News later reported Weissman called the assassination the most terrible thing that happened to this country and he declined to identify his role or group members. The report mentions a Dallas coordinator for the John Birch Society who had not heard of Weissman, and a defacto lack of clear affiliations or sizes for the committee. The text also includes a long local digression about a blizzard and pheasant hunting anecdotes from Emmetsburg.
