Gerald Ford appointed Herbert Walker Bush as the CIA Director at the crucial time when the House Select Committee on Assassinations was investigating CIA-FBI links to the murders of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy.
After Lee Harvey Oswald returned, along with his Soviet wife and daughter, to the United States from the Soviet Union, he was "handled" by Belarusian immigrant George DeMohrenschildt, a Dallas businessman who once worked in New York for Humble Oil, Prescott Bush's company. DeMohrenschildt was active in the right-wing anti-Communist circles and had close links to the CIA. DeMohrenschildt "committed suicide" in 1977 shortly before he was to testify before the House Select Committee on Assassinations. He also wrote a manuscript in which he stated he did not believe that Oswald could have killed Kennedy.
Bush has a fuzzy memory about where he was on November 22, 1963. Given the fact that his name, address, and phone number were found in the address book of Lee Harvey Oswald's close friend, George DeMohrenschildt, he was evidently in a position to prove that Oswald's "handlers" are responsible for the false claim that a lone gunman killed Kennedy.
Bush denies that he was in the CIA prior to being appointed by Gerald Ford but the evidence is rather clear. He was a CIA agent when Kennedy was assassinated and that is why he was standing by the Texas School Book Depository on November 22nd, 1963. The following memo from J. Edgar Hoover betrays Bush's Cuban Operation activities and the fact that he was in the CIA at a time he pretended otherwise: "The substance of the foregoing information was furnished to us by George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency..." When Bush called the FBI in Dallas within an hour after Kennedy was shot to tell them that Oswald had shot the President, he was planting the seeds of the false claim that Oswald had acted alone.
