((Newly discovered voices tell an old..and dramatic story of the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
On the 39th anniversary of his death, the public can now hear a
chilling radio transmission.
As the events unfolded on television, the Presidents closests advisors
were flying 4,000 miles over the pacific receiving little information.
Radio transmissions picked up their historic conversations. .
AUDIO/GRAPHIC: (radio operator) "I read uh, from the AP bulletin, uh,
Kennedy apparently shot in head, he fell face down in back seat of his car, blood was on his head. Mrs. Kennedy cried, oh no, and tried to hold up his head."
Relying on Press reports, they learn the events that transpired.
Theyre voices remain calm, unemotional.
AUDIO/GRAPHIC (Salinger) The president is dead..is that correct? (radio operator) That is correct
There are also photographs and film not previously viewed by the public.
Theyre on display here at the former Texas School book depository and they show movement from the 6th floor window.
The film doesn't capture the actual shooting, but does show the window just seconds before shots were fired.. an area that still attracts the
curious and those who want to remember.
Gary Mack : Museum Curator (8 sec)
The Kennedy assisasination is very long, very confusing and all we can do is list the facts and explain the history.,
The history is what draws many to see the artifacts and documents on
display. And to Dealey Plaza where the tragedy unfolded. Many
photographers still make their way here ....just as they did on that day 39 years ago.

PROCEDURES.

I THINK IT'S EXCITING BECAUSE A LOT OF THE TREATMENTS THAT IMPROVE THE
APPEARANCE OF THE SKIN ACTUALLY CAN BE QUITE INVASIVE SUCH AS PLASTIC

THE TAZARATONE CREAM HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE F-D-A AND SHOULD
