Mr. Michael Goldsmith • Senior Staff Counsel • Select Committee on Assassinations U.S. House of Representatives House Office Building, Annex 2

Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Mickey:

On 2 December 1978, a meeting was held at The Aerospace Corporation to

view and evaluate a movie film which was taken by Mr. Charles L. Bronsor.

at Dealey Plaza approximately five minutes prior to the assassination of

President Kennedy. The meeting was arranged by Ms. 3; ne Downey of the

Select Committee on Assassinations and was attended by Al Hall, Harold

Levine, and John Sigalos of the law firm Sigalos and Levine representing•

Charles Bronson and by the following photographic and Digital Txnage

Processing technical experts: Harry Andrews and David Garber of USC;

B. R. Hunt of the University of Arizona; Robert Selzer of Je:. Propulsion

Laboratory; N. K. Baker, E. A. Larson, C. J. Leoatis, J. R. Parsons,

D. M. Rosenthal of The Aerospace Corporation; Al Mandl, consultant to

Aerospace Corporation; and R. P. Chiralo, formerly with Aerospace

Corporation.

Mr. John Sigalos brought an 8 mm color movie film which he said that

Mr. Bronson. took with a Keystone camera at 12 frames per second, a 16 mn

color copy which according to Mr. Sigalos had been generated by Mr. Bob

Groden, and a set of 35 mm slides showing the area around the 6th "loor

window of the Texas School Book Depository Building also made by Po%)

Groden although Mr. Sigalos did not know whether the slides were rrtacte

from the 8 mm original or from the 16 mm copy.

Following some brief remarks by Mr. Sigalos regarding the circumv.tances

surrounding the Bronson film and Mr. Groden's involvement, the part;_cip:-m,..

were shown the following:

Several 35 mm color slides which were enlargements from citb- - th-Itronson original 8 mm movie or the 16 mm copy showing the area arou: the 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository Building. In widition to viewing these slides slowly and in rapid succession, several pairs of slides were superimposed on the same screen using two proje :tor and they were switched back and forth from one slide to the other in order 14, enhance any differences between frames and assess whether or not ;ych differences might be attributed to motion behind the window.

b. A 16 mm copy of the Bronson movie film and 16 mm enlargements of ti' area around the 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository Building. This 16 mm film which Mr. Sigalos identified as the Groden film was projectec at a variety of frame rates ranging from stop frame to 24 frames per seconci.

7

c. Several frames of the original 8 mm Bronson film were viewed under a microscope. One frame was selected in which the area around the 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository Building was scanned in color in the PDS microdensitometer with a 5 micron aperture and 2 micron line spacing and displayed on the . COMTAL with varying degrees of contrast enhancement interactively applied. The enclosed color print which was generated in the Dicomed D-47 display unit shows the exact area of the frame which was scanned and displayed. All this was done in The Aerospace Corporation's Digital Image Processing Laboratory during the 2 Decomber meeting. The experts recommended not to show the 8 mm original film ; n order to avoid any possibility of damage and because our 8 mm projector could not be operated at variable frame rates. Viewing the film at normal frame rates and without magnification of the area of interest was not con- . sidered useful enough to warrant even a small risk of damaging the orig: .1 film. .1 •

rollowing is a summary of observations and conclusions by the experts Present at this meeting:

I. The l3ronson film, although taken from a slightly different ani-1- ti.an the Hughes film, shows about the same area around the 6th floor window o.F. 'he Texas School Book Depository Building, but the Bronson. film is of -,uperior quality compared to the Hughes film. This observation is h-Lsed '.It viewing the original 8 mm Bronson movie film under a microscope and 'he 6th floor window portion of a digitized frame on the COMTAL display.

Mr. Michael Goldsmith 11 December 1978 Page 3

2. If the Bronson film had been available earlier, the experts wr, dr!. 11._ recommended that it be analyzed along with the Hughes film.

3. Following careful examination of the Groden 35 mm slides and 16 m movie film, the experts at this meeting could not say conclusively -.naether or not the frame-to-frame changes in the 6th and 5th floor windows were due to real motion behind the windows. The experts disagree un a ni :nous]. ;- with Mr. Groden that "you can actually see one figure walking back and forth hurriedly" as he was quoted by The Dallas Morning News on 26 Novo.-. 1978. A more definitive conclusion may result through computer process is of selected frames from the 8 mm Bronson original. The experts also feel that a good quality 16 mm photographic copy with the area of interest enlar, could be of interest.

4. In viewing Groclen's 16 mm copy of the Bronson film and recalling f:, memory the Hughes film and the computer processed fames of the Hughes film, the experts observed similar dynamics in the two films; I. c. , the apparent motion in the windows seems to be random and therefore it is not likely to be due to human motion behind the window. Again, this observatic is based primarily on our past experience with the Hughes film. Computer analysis of the Bronson film similar to that applied to the Pughes film may clarify this issue especially since the Bronson film is of superior qualiLy tc the Hughes film.

In accordance with our telephone conversation, I am sending a copy or t letter to each participant in the 2 December meeting at Aerospace wit . • 'le request that they review it and submit corrections or additional commer :s directly to the Select Committee.

Very truly yours,

Mr. Michael Goldsmith, Esq. Senior Staff Counsel Select Committee on Assassinations U.S. House of Representatives House Office Building, Annex 2 Washington, D.C: 20515

Dear Michael:

I have read Charles J. Leontis' letter to you of December 11, 1978, and have several brief comments which I believe should be made of record.

First, I think Mr. Leontis did an excell2nt job 0*.: setting forth the consensus of the views of the experts present at the meeting at the Aerospace Corporation on December 2, 1978. There were some present who felt that Mr. Bronson's film did show certain images of definite -interest and were of the view that the original film must he carefully studied, but I leave it to them to comment directly to you as to their views.

Second, while interpretation of Mr. Bronson's film any enhanced version thereof is to be left to the experts, Jo feel qualified to comment as to what should be done based on certain conclusions reached by the experts. Specifically, all experts present at the December 2, 1978 meeting were of 'Ale opinion that the Bronson film is of, superior quality as --7cmpare 1 to the Hughes film and that mo-,ements were observed in he 6th floor windows of the Texas School Book Depository. In Dy opini these facts, in and of themselves, mandate proper further anaW of the Bronson film. It should be noted that even if, biscd solely on viewing the poor quality 16 mm. copy of Mr. Broflon's film, some experts may feel at this point that the motion in th,- Bronson film may only exhibit dynamics similar to that- is the fighes films, this does not militate against the necessaLy fart!, study of the Bronson film. A:; Mr. heontis stated in his etier referring to this motion in the window::, "0_)mpurer onolys s of Bronson film similar to that applied to the Hughes film m.:y clai this issue especially since the Bronson film is of superior qual to the Hughes film."

Dear Michael:

The purpose of this letter is to communicate some retrospective reactions to the Bronson 8mm film that we viewed on December 2 at Aerospace Corporation. I have discussed some of these points with Chuck Leontis and he agrees that a separate letter from me would be appropriate since his letter silmmarizes the group concensus on

December 2. I am not incidently in disagreement with the report contained in the Leontis letter of December 11 but would perhaps more strongly recommend computer pro-cessing of this film for the following reasons:

1. To my knowledge, this is the only possible evidence of movement behind the two closed windows adjacent to the half-open window. I am referring first to the immediately adjacent window (labeled 1 on the attached diagram) and the second to the nearest section of the window under the curved brick facing (labeled 2). Every other photo or movie frame that I can remember shows these windows completely opaque, possibly due to a combination of dirt and sun glare. It is possible that slight window pane movement could create the appearance of rapidly moving objects. If so, the speed

of shadow change, if clarified, could easily be distinguished from human movement. Such clarification could also indicate compati-bility with human movement but in either case, the movement should be analyzed.

Mr. Miehaelculdsmith -2- December 21, 1978r

2 In the past, viewing of computer processed. movie frames asamovie has been difficult because the Comtol display can only store and rapidly display three frames. The alternative was to photograph each output picture from the computer (or alternately, record each frame on file) and then to re-photograph the "stills" with movie film. This was not done because of cost and because it was not clearly indicated neces-sary in any single case.

This situation has changed to the extent that we have acquired a video disk system at JPL that allows up to 200 color pictures to be easily transferred from_ the computer to the disk and then sequenced at any frame rate on a TV monitor for viewing: I cannot commit the use of JPL facilities in this letter but I believe some future arrange-ment might be worked out if the type of effort Jescribed above was to - be, ma-de. I will be glad to supply a more specific processing recommendation if you wish.

3 The original 8mm Bronson film is not only better than Hughes and better than the Groden copy of the Bronson film, but

() give in

t he latter case, vastly better. an example, the lower window framing (see arrow #3) is so blurred on the Groden copy that it cannot be identified as a struc-tural part of the window. On the digitized version of one Bronson original frame on the Comtol display, this structure was clearly evident and well defined.

As an interim alternative to computer processing, I strongly recommend as stated in the Leontis report of December 11, that RIT be funded (somehow) to make a high quality 16mm copy of just the enlarged window area direct- ly from the Bronson 8mm original. If a first-order regis- tration can he accomplished (i.e., forcing an identifiable p int such as the corner of a window to appear in the same spot on each 16mm frame) this would be very helpful from a viewing standpoint.

Attention: Mr. Robert L. Keuch Deputy As1;itanL Attorney General Criminal Division, Room 2113

Dear Mr. Attorney General:

I L t, t. r) 1

SIGA1OS & LIVINE

JAN 1 5 1979

In connection with its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of President Kennedy, I am writing to recommend that the Department of Justice conduct digital image processing work in an effort to enhance the quality of a segment of a movie film that was taken by Charles L. Bronson a few minutes before the

assassination of President Kennedy. The Bronson film is potentially significant because it may show movement by

more than one person in the vicinity of the sixth floor

southeast corner window from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot at the President. Because the film was not made

available to the Committee's Photographic Evidence Panel until December 2, 1978, the Committee did not have funds avrailabl= to authorize any sophisticated image enhancement analysis regarding this item.

ThD Committee's Photographic Evidence Panel did, however,

indicate that enhancement efforts with this film are warran'ed (see enclosures). In particular, the Panel noted that since

the quality of this film is superior to that of another film (by Robert V. Hughes) which was subjected to this type of analysis, there is now a greater likelihood of resolving the

issue of how much motion, if any, can be discerned in the

region of the sniper's window.

The Bronson film is presently in the possession of John Sigalos and Hal Levine, attorneys for Mr. Bronson, at

1300 Republic National Bank Building, Dallas, Texas 75201. Mr. Sigalos has expressed the willingness of his client to cooperate fully with the United States Government if digital

image processing of, this film is considered desirable.

The Honorable Gratin H. hell January 8, 1979 Page 2

Should the Department decide to act favorably upon this recommendation, I would further advise that the Committee's photographic contractors or members of its Photographic Evidence Panel be retained either on a consulting basis or to perform the actual enhancement work. Because these scientists have reviewed the existing photographic evidence pertaining to the assassination and are therefore very familiar with the issues which this evidence has . raised, they are perhaps best qualified to

W provide you with therr—assistance. A list of these individuals is attached.

Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.

Sincerely,

(1.10dIS STOKES , Chairman
