is a scientist with the Federal Government. He is the author of the article, “The Acoustical Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination Revisited” which appeared in the journal Science & Justice in 2001. The thrust of his research has been to demonstrate concordance between the audio and video evidence of the assassination.  He was the recipient of the Mary Ferrell-JFK Lancer New Frontier Award in 2002. There have been many challenges to the acoustical evidence since 2001, in particular, a recently published rebuttal (2006) in Science & Justice by the surviving members of the 1982 NRC panel. This presentation will demonstrate how the challenges to the acoustical evidence have made it stronger.
