                                  The day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left
                               Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening he showed up
                               at the home of friends in New Jersey. He was very agitated.
                               A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the as-
                               sassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and
                               probably would have to leave. the country. Less than six
                               months later Underhill was found shot to death in his
                               Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it suicide.

                                   J.. Garrett Underhill had been an intelligence agent
                               during World War U and was a recognized authority on limi-
                               ted warfare and small arms. A researcher and writer on
                               military affairs, he was on a first-name basis with many of
                               the top brass in the Pentagon. He was also on intimate terms
                               with a number of high-ranking Cl officials--he was one of
                               the Agency's lun-people' who perform special assignments.
                               At one time he had been a friend of Samuel Cummings of
                               Interarmco, the arms broker that numbers among its cus-
                               tomers the CIA and, ironically, Klein's Sporting Goods of
                               Chicago., from whence /sic/ the mail-order Carcano alleg-
                               edly was purchased by Oswald.
