Warren Commission Documents - Where can they be got? (Odio incident)

[Gerry Down]

The Warren Report came with 26 volumes of commission exhibits and hearings. However there are also what are known as Warren Commission "documents". The two websites history-matters.com and aarclibrary.org don't list the full collection of these "documents". Check out how small their collection is:

https://www.history-matters.com/archive/contents/wc/contents_wcdocs.htm
https://aarclibrary.org/publib/contents/wc/contents_wcdocs.htm

For example, on page 1332 of "Reclaiming History" Bugliosi makes a claim i've never heard before. At the bottom of that page, in the notes section, Bugliosi says that Leopoldo called Sylvia Odio the day after meeting her and told her that the Cubans had no problem with President Kennedy. This claim is very different from the one we usually hear where Oswald supposedly said that Kennedy should have been shot for the failed Bay of Pigs operation. The reference Bugliosi gives is a Warren Commisson "document". But of course, i can't find these "documents" anywhere. Here is the source he gives for the Leopoldo claim:

CD 205 Page 1, December 18th 1963

I presume this means "Commission Document 205, Page 1". Does anyone know where I can get "Commission Document 205" so I can check out this claim for myself?

He obviously sourced the wrong document.

I believe this is it: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10672#relPageId=646&search=Odio

Key passage from the document: "According to Miss Odio, Leopoldo told them that the Cuban people bore no malice toward President Kennedy because of the Bay of Pigs episode."

Bugliosi had the right document (if he was referring to this one) but didn't cite the correct page. And the date was 12/19/1963 not 12/18/1963.

Thanks alot. That seems to be the right document. It looks like the interview was taken on the 18th and dictated on the 19th. Not sure what dictated means. Perhaps it means hosty took notes while talking to odio on the 18th and then used these notes on the 19th to construct the report.

Glad to help out. I think the Ferrell site has more complete information than the others. At least online info. It just limits free searches, as you probably know, and that can be a pain when you're just starting to find what you want and hit the limit.
