Re Salandria: this is from Thomas Mallon's book, "Mrs. Paine's Garage" (pg.168).
"Almost three years later, on April 1968, a week and a half before Ruth's appearance in New Orleans, Salandria visited her mother in Ohio. He upset Mrs. Hyde [Ruth's mother] - as she reminded him in a letter the next day - with "some very serious charges concerning my daughter and her husband. In effect you have said they are or were working for the CIA, and as undercover agents were not to be trusted." Mrs. Hyde had called Ruth after Salandria's visit, and she now reported to him her daughter's own puzzlement over "why in the world she would consider working for the CIA. What possible motive could she have? It was obvious that she could think of none. However, when I said you [Salandria] wanted her to take a lie detector test, she was willing.'"
Apologize to Mr. Litwin for taking this away from the Garrison investigation.
