the Cogress will establish a
committee to regain
the control of this countrv.
COLLEGIAN: You have accused
many people in Washington
of being corrupt. These in
clude the members of the
Warren Commission, the F. 8.1.,
the C.1.A., and many elected
legislators. Do you feel that
there is any one in Washington
that is not corrupt besides
yourself and Richard Sprague?
Lane: It really isn't all that
radical to take that position.
There was a report signed by
the members of the Church
committee including Barry
Goldwater, Senator Tower
of Texas, and they said what
I just said. The report
said that the F. 8.1. delib
erately deceived the Warren
Commission and "high govern
ment officials'.' Walter Mondale
signed the report. It isn't
my language it is an estab
lished fact.
There are a number of the
members of Congress who are
very committed to getting the
facts. Congr jsman Henry
Gonzales , Walter Forntroy,
are both committed to getting
the facts. My confidence In
the investigation is not just
in Richard Sprague, but I have
confidence in the members of
that committee. John Anderson
of Illinois is I believe, a
man of unquestionable in
tegrity. I'm very happy with
the members of the committee.
The problem is they
might not be allowed to
function. If they are then
we might have to rewrite the
last ten years of American
history.

However, when this was

panel called 'Who killed
Kennedy?'"
Lane summed up the
Warren Commission's in
vestigation in one line, "there
was one definite thing that the
Warren Commission proved-that
Ruby killed Oswald and that
was viewed by millions on nat
ional television."
Lane then brought the aud
ience up-to-date on what has been
happening in Washington concern
ing the Kennedy assasination in
recent months. He said that the
U.S. House of Representatives
voted 280 to 60 in favor..of
reopening an investigation into
the Kennedy assasination. How
ever, the investigation is now
at a standstill because the
F. 8.1. and C.I.A. have been fal
sely attempting to discredit
the investigations leader, Ric-
hard Sprague, according to
Jack Anderson,a syndicated
newspaper columnist.

committees for Student Govern
ment at Parkland High School.
Presently, at Highacres he is
an active member of the Studeht
Union Board, WHCB, and the Pol
itics club.
Lane closed his speech
by issuing a request of the
audience. He asked that they
sign a mailgram to Thomas |
O'Neill asking that the U.S.
House of Representatives,
"reestablish the Select
Committeee on Assasinations."
During the questions
answer period that followed
the lecture, Lane remarked
that there have been 250
deaths threats to date on
his life. He also said that at
one time. F. 8.1. agents follow
ed Lane around then country
to hear his speaking engagement::
Only once, Lane said, did he
ever spot the agents at a lec
ture. It was at a women's
catholic college. The audience ,

in their clerical garb, and- j
nuns in their habits. The j
two people were men wearing
trench coats. "I had no trouble ,
spotting them," said Lane. j
