Details:

Steve Perez typed two-page letter on official Santa Cruz Sentinel staff writer stationery addressed to “The White House” concerning allegations and theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The correspondence discusses claims involving George H.W. Bush, George de Mohrenschildt, the CIA, the Bay of Pigs invasion, and Lee Harvey Oswald. The second page is signed by Perez in blue ink beneath a request for White House comment prior to publication of an article in the Santa Cruz Sentinel. Accompanied by the original two-page format as issued.

The letter was prepared in advance of a Santa Cruz symposium devoted to Kennedy assassination theories and asks the White House to address a series of controversial claims circulating among researchers and conspiracy writers in the early 1990s. Perez specifically inquires whether George H.W. Bush had any relationship with the CIA prior to becoming its director, references FBI memoranda involving a “George Bush,” and questions possible connections between Bush and George de Mohrenschildt, the enigmatic associate of Lee Harvey Oswald. The correspondence also references de Mohrenschildt’s alleged comments regarding Oswald and “wealthy Texas oilmen,” while additionally asking about legislation to unseal JFK assassination records.

The first page bears marker notations visible on the verso in an unidentified hand. Standard folds from mailing and handling wear present.

Steve Perez was a staff writer for the Santa Cruz Sentinel, a California newspaper that periodically covered political and investigative subjects during the late twentieth century. This correspondence reflects the continued public fascination with the Kennedy assassination and the intense scrutiny placed on figures such as George de Mohrenschildt and George H.W. Bush during the wave of renewed assassination research and document inquiries that emerged in the early 1990s.
