I will be giving a remote talk at the annual JFK convention in Dallas this year.

Here's an excerpt from my speeech: "Agent George White was the CIA's original MKULTRA contact in the FBN, and its expert on Mafia murder techniques, and on 21 November 1960, just three weeks after CIA Officer Bill Harvey had recruited QJWIN, White's fellow FBN Agent... Charlie Siragusa visited White in hopes of recruiting Harold "Happy" Meltzer into Harvey’s hit team. One of the premier drug smugglers of all time, and a contract killer to boot, Meltzer was recently out of prison and operating a sportswear company in Los Angeles. White was familiar with all the top hoods on the West Coast, including CIA agent Johnny Roselli, and thus it is not surprising that on 19 December 1960, one month after Siragusa and Gottlieb visited White, Roselli introduced Meltzer to Harvey. And there is no doubt that White knew Roselli. As FBN Agent Ike Feldman confessed in 1994, 'On more than one occasion White sent me to the airport to pick up Roselli and bring him to the office'."
