        I made the following transcript from a tape recording 
        of a broadcast by Pacifica Radio station
               WBAI-FM (99.5)
               505 Eighth Ave., 19th Fl.
               New York, NY 10018       (212) 279-0707

GARY NULL:
What would have been the sequence of events to have allowed the
brain to have been removed, since there is no evidence that it
was removed in Dallas during the procedures that were performed
on the body at that time?

DAVID LIFTON:
If I understand you correctly, you're asking me when was the body
stolen. Is that what you're saying?

GARY NULL:
Yes. When was it stolen, and why would they have removed the
brain, and where did the brain next appear?

DAVID LIFTON:
The only time that the body could have been taken out of the casket
(and this is covered in the conclusion of my book), and the only 
time (I don't want to say that the casket is unguarded because 
there are always Secret Service agents around, and you cannot have 
this go forward without the connivance of some Secret Service agents), 
but the only time that the Kennedys aren't all over that casket is 
when they come back to Air Force One after the shooting. That is,
after the President is pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital, 
a coffin is obtained -- a large viewing casket which everybody sees 
on national TV. They go out to Love Field with the President's body 
in the casket. They go aboard the aircraft and they learn that 
there is going to be a delay.  "Why," they ask. "Why can't they
take-off immediately for Washington?"  "Well," they're told,
"Lyndon Johnson is aboard this aircraft. He didn't go back to
Washington on the other plane. He's on this plane." 
And he appears and says: "I spoke to Bobby Kennedy, and Bobby
Kennedy said, `Delay the flight. I must be sworn in first in the
state of Texas.'"  This is all denied that night by Bobby Kennedy 
who tells his sister-in-law Jacqueline Kennedy that he said no such
thing to Lyndon Johnson; that he (Johnson) called Bobby Kennedy, 
who was Attorney-General in Washington, and said: I'm being told
that I should be sworn in. Do you have any objections; that it 
wasn't the other way around.

Anyway, the result of this is that the flight is delayed by about
a half-hour, and basically, the Kennedys (Mrs. Kennedy and the 
Kennedy aides) are told or requested to come to the front of the
plane to witness the swearing in. It is in connection with this
activity of "delay the flight and let's go to the front of the 
plane for the swearing in" .... that's the only time that the 
Kennedy party is not all over that casket. That's the time, I 
believe, (and it's a process of elimination, I will concede. I
don't have a direct witness; otherwise I'd have solved the Kennedy
assassination) .... but it's during that period that the body
must have been taken out of the casket and put into some other
casket and brought somewhere. I personally believe, at the time I
wrote BEST EVIDENCE, that the body was flown to Washington, D.C.,
and that the alterations occurred on the East Coast after the
plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base at six o'clock. And I
cited, as evidence, helicopter activity on the starboard side;
that is, the side facing away from public view -- and from radio 
transmissions indicating that they were going to go with the body
to Walter Reed Army Hospital where (quote) "an autopsy was to be
conducted under guard."  And all that's on the radio. And I
spelled it out in my book. 

Now, it's an unsolved mystery as to where this body was taken.
But wherever it happened, that's where the brain would be removed
and the wounds altered. It would be done very quickly. It was
done VERY sloppily, I might add. And that's why, when the body
arrived without a brain, it was immediately noted that there had
been surgery to the head area. That's what the FBI wrote down.
We're not dealing with some kind of perfect fraud here. We're
dealing with a very imperfect crime with footprints all over the
place; footprints which are ignored by the Warren Commission
because they saw the crime -- or you might say they saw these 
events through very Establishment eyes. They never questioned any
of this stuff that's brought up in my book.
                                      
GARY NULL:
When did the brain next appear?

DAVID LIFTON:
A brain is infused, in the autopsy room, by another technician: 
James Jenkins. Now let me explain this. It's kind of interesting.
There were three technicians in the room: a guy named Ranicki, a
fellow named Paul O'Connor and a fellow named Jenkins. Paul
O'Connor gives me the account (and it's a thing that he will
never forget. It just came out of his mouth when I interviewed
him in 1979), that the cranium is empty. There's no brain, etc.
And on the chart where the body organ weights are listed (a chart
which is perfectly authentic. It has little pink spots on it.
That's Kennedy's blood. It's in the National Archives today)
there is no weight given for the brain, but there is a weight for
many of the other body organs.

That night, at some point -- and I don't know when -- a brain is
brought into the room. That brain is given to James Jenkins,
another technician. James infuses that brain with formaldehyde.
And that brain becomes the evidence brain. It is weighed ten days
later, or something. It's weight is recorded in a supplementary
brain report. When I confronted O'Connor, on camera, with the fact
that there is this brain, he said: "Well I don't know where they
got it from. It certainly couldn't have been the President's!"     
In other words, it did not arrive in the body. Now, that's the way
an autopsy is supposed to happen. The body is supposed to have the
body parts inside it. You know, we're not dealing with United
Parcel Service where you send something and say: "See attached." 
The brain is supposed to come in the cranium.  Now, a brain is
definitely brought into the room. I do not know how it got into
the room. I can just tell you that James Jenkins infused a brain
that night, whereas Paul O'Connor said that the cranium was empty.
And by the way, O'Connor's account is corroborated by the X-ray
technician who said that the hole was so large and the thing was
so empty that he could have put his hands inside the hole.

      If you agree that this story deserves broad public attention, please
      assist in disseminating it by posting it to other bulletin boards,
      and by posting hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. 
      As evidence accrues concerning the corporate mass media's thirty-year
      cover-up of the corporate CIA's coup d'etat against the People of 
      the United States, the necessity of citizen reportage becomes
      ever more striking.
