Kennedy Assassination
In an interview with Paul Meskil of the New York Daily News (published on November 3, 1977), she said that she first met Oswald in an Operation 40 training camp in the Florida Everglades. Then she met him again just before the Kennedy assassination in 1963 in the house of Orlando Bosch, with Frank Sturgis, Pedro Luis Díaz Lanz and two other Cubans present. The men studied Dallas street maps and then left for Dallas in two cars, carrying "rifles and scopes". Lorenz rode along, but claims that at the time she didn't know the purpose of the operation.
Lorenz testified about this supposed Kennedy assassination plot before the House Select Committee on Assassinations. Her testimony was carefully investigated by the committee and found to be unreliable.
In February, 1985, she testified in a trial involving a suit by E. Howard Hunt against the Liberty Lobby, which had written that Hunt was involved in the Kennedy assassination. Attorney Mark Lane used her testimony in an attempt to prove that Hunt was a JFK assassination conspirator.

Famous quotes containing the word kennedy:
“The moment when she crawled out onto the back of the open limousine in which her husband had been murdered was the first and last time the American people would see Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis crawl.... She was the last great private public figure in this country. In a time of gilt and glitz and perpetual revelation, she was perpetually associated with that thing so difficult to describe yet so simple to recognize, the apotheosis of dignity.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
