This was the lead-in effort by the Church committed to FIND THINGS OUT. He and some others of the committee and some of their staff pushed hard enough to telegraph to the CIA that it was going to have to pony up topics more important than stockpiles of poison. Find here testimony and prepared statements of William Colby Richard Helms E. Schantz Univ Wisc. / DoD C. Senseney DoD Special Ops at Fort Detrick R. Andrews advisor to Defense lawyers find also mention of Karamessines MKNAOMI Gottlieb contamination of the NY subways US Army aerosols &c. But the BIG topic is SHELLFISH TOXIN storage of which by CIA was illegal. This poison was the "safest" topic to discuss and therefore the only biological agent or program to be discussed at length.

186643052Washington D.C.: n.p. 1866. First edition. A very good copy with inch marginal closed tear light soiling faint marginal stain. Broadside. 6 x 9 1/2 inches. Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard 1805-1871 who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment was a strong supporter of his measures including "emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated 'severe exemplary and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act" ANBO. His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial and now despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln President of the United States and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war." Clement C. Clay was also to be tried. It appears that Merritt's resolution never made it to the floor for a second reading as was required by law. Scarce.
