Many/most newsgroup members probably do not have access to the
excellent CBS-TV 4-Part documentary series "The Warren Report"
(originally shown on CBS in mid-1967)....but I've managed to acquire a
copy of that program, and just recently discovered a very interesting
portion of that broadcast which relates to Governor John Connally's
(seemingly) long-standing, unwavering belief that he and JFK were
struck by separate bullets in Dallas on 11/22/63.

But Mr. Connally states without reservation within that 1967 "Warren
Report" program that he thinks the Single-Bullet Theory just might be
"possible".

Here are Connally's exact words from Part 2 of that CBS-TV WR special:

"The only way that I could ever reconcile my memory of what happened
and what occurred, with respect to the One-Bullet Theory is .... it HAD
to be the SECOND bullet that might have hit us both."

When the interviewer (who, btw, was Eddie Barker, who was part of the
original 11/22/63 TV coverage for Dallas CBS affiliate KRLD-TV) then
asked JBC the follow-up question of -- "Do you believe, Governor
Connally, that the first bullet could have missed, the second one hit
both of you, and the third one hit President Kennedy?".....

Connally's immediate response was -- "That's possible. That's
possible."

That scenario of the second gunshot equating to the "SBT" shot, which
Governor Connally admitted back in '67 to having been "possible", also
perfectly corresponds to other evidence in the case which bolsters the
likelihood of the SBT being an absolute fact, including Mr. Connally's
always-unshakable stance, which is repeated again for the CBS cameras
in that 1967 program, of -- "the first bullet did NOT hit me....the
second bullet DID hit me".

Mr. Connally also gave this on-camera statement during that same '67
"Warren Report" special .... "All I can say, with any finality, if the
Single-Bullet Theory IS correct, then it had to be the second bullet
that hit President Kennedy and me."

Therefore, the above almost-forgotten words spoken by Governor Connally
should (IMO) forever erase the widely-accepted erroneous idea that Mr.
Connally never even once admitted that he thought the SBT could have
possibly occurred that day in Dallas.

Upon digging up some older (circa 2001) newsgroup postings from various
alt.jfk members, I came across this interesting thread.......

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.conspiracy.jfk/browse_thread/threa...

......Where Jean Davison makes these remarks re. Connally's non-SBT
beliefs:

"Yes, Tony, the SEPost was quoting verbatim from a LIFE
article of 11/26/66, and Connally did indeed say there that he was
certain he was hit by a separate bullet.  He said this after
viewing Z frames at LIFE's offices and deciding that he'd been
hit in Z 234, which is of course after JFK was visibly reacting.
However, he hasn't "ALWAYS" said this.  He told the HSCA
he didn't know when JFK was hit because he never saw him
after the firing began." -- J. Davison; July 25th, 2001

Now, what's rather interesting re. the above comments, IMO, would be
the date when Connally stated that he was "certain" he'd been hit by a
separate bullet (November of 1966) -- which was months PRIOR to
apparently doing a flip-flop (at least partially in his own mind) re.
the viability and "possibility" of the SBT. He tole Eddie Barker and
CBS-TV in mid-1967 the verbatim quotes I copied above....saying to the
world that the SBT was certainly not IMPOSSIBLE in his mind.
