Here is more from the excellent book Family of Secrets by Russ Baker, who has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post and also served as an editor for the Columbia Journalism Review. Earlier in the book he offers incredible new information showing H.W. Bush's beyond curious activities in Dallas on 11-22-63 including the construction of false alibi's designed to show that he and Barbara were not in Dallas on that date. (Earlier Bush has maintained that he could not remember where he was on that day-- but who can?)
--------
The author notes that Pepsi's Kendall had past connections with the CIA and was later involved in the Chile policy against Allende. He also notes that Kendall knew about the bottling convention in Dallas at the time of the Convention but was responsible for getting Nixon in Dallas by a conversation much later.
------
Another interesting thing about the bottler's convention is that the Army reserves volunteered to help facilitate an unusual extracurricular
activity. As noted in Chepter 6 an 7, Poppy Bush's friend Jack Crichton was head of the local Army Inteliigence unit. Associates of Crichton's
who were involved with the Army Reserves had managed to get into the pilot car of Kennedy's procession, with one as the driver. Chrichton
would also provide the interpreter for Marina Oswald after her husband's arrest as the prime suspect in Kennedy's murder.
According to a short item in the Dallas Morning News the day before Kennedy was shot, members of the Dallas unit of the 90th Artillary
Division of the Army Reserves would be providing trucks and drivers to transport two hundred orphans to a livestock arena for a rodeo sponsored
by the bottler's group. This was to take place at nine P.M. on the night before Kennedy's arrival. The arena was at Fair Park, near the site under
which Crichton's Civil Defense maintained its underground emergency bunker and communications facility. Putting aside the Dickensian aspect of
moving orphans in Army trucks within an afluent American city, this raises some questions about the reason for this odd maneuver. Whatever
the true purpose of a small platoon of Army vehicles being premitted to move about Dallas on purportedly unrelated civilian business as the
president's arrival was imminant, it appears investigators never considered this incident worthy of a closer look.
Cumulatively, the bottler's convention was responsible for a number of curious circumstaces that may be said to have some relevance to the
events surrounding Kennedy's death:
* The convention brought Nixon to Dallas
* It brought eight thousand strangers to Dallas.
* It sent army vehicles into action on city streets the night before the assassination.
* Its early reservation of one large venue helped determine Kennedy's ultimate destination and thus the motercade route.
(p.188-189, Family of Secrets)
There is much more on this guy Jack Crichton and his relationship to H.W. Bush in Family of Secrets than I have seen anywhere else
