JFK Facts contributor Jack Reid broke news this week with an exclusive report on newly declassified documents relating to CIA officer William King (Bill) Harvey, who long has been a person of interest to JFK researchers because of his ill-concealed hatred of John and Robert Kennedy and his role in CIA assassination operations.

In one document, a CIA official, Nicholas R. Zubon, addressed a one-page letter to Charles Niles at the Federal Aviation Agency (now the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA). Zubon requested that Niles arrange for FAA records to reflect that “HARVEY, WILLIAM K.” had been “issued Federal Aviation Agency Credential Number 4883, on 2 January 1963.”

The document about Harvey’s FAA credential reveals two new facts about his involvement in the events of 1963, neither known previously.

• Harvey was authorized to travel undercover in the United States while he was serving as chief of the CIA station in Rome.

• The CIA did not disclose this arrangement to Senate investigators in the 1970s.

Well, Harvey did not work for the FAA. Reid added this new FAA credential to the list of aliases and credentials known to be used by Harvey, AKA Daniel M. Presland, AKA William Walker.

All of Harvey’s travel records in 1963 are being sought by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, chair of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which held two hearings on the JFK assassination earlier this year.
