A Lincoln Warren Commision

[BettyO]

I have never read (only seen mentioned) something called the Boutwell Report. George Boutwell was chosen to head a House of Representatives committee to investigate the Lincoln assassination. I believe he was the only one on the committee, however, given access to everything. He was later accused of covering up Stanton's role. He was also on the committee that processed the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, and I believe that the assassination discussion was part of that also.

Bill Richter probably knows a lot more about this than I.

Laurie - This is facinating! I haven't heard of Boutwell -- if I had, I'd forgotten it! I've got some boning up to do! Thanks!
