Years ago a conclusion that runs counter to the Warren commission report on the murder in assassinations committee chair Man Louis Stokes a Ohio was moved to caution those attending the hearing that the evidence will be troubling to some and he said no conclusions should be hearing is the latest in a series of meetings the parcel plans on the deaths Okennedy and Martin Luther King or. Three experts were called by the com Mittee to report on their scientific analyses which included studies of eyewitness accounts from 178 people in the Vicinity of the shooting at Dealey Plaza.

The experts who also Analysed the Isz minute Gap in the famous water Gate tapes appeared to conclude on the basis of the taped sounds recorded on a police transmitter left running during the shoot ing that four shots were fired at Kenned instead of the two or three supported by the Warren commission. Much of the evidence heard last weekly the committee tended to support the Basic conclusions of the Warren commis Sion said Stokes. That Lee Harvey Oswald was the Lone Assassin of the presi Dent. Troubling evidence the evidence to be heard today will be troubling to some he added however. I would caution against those who would to quickly draw sensational conclusions from this evidence. Since All of the evidence in the Kennedy investigation is not in it is not yet possible to fit any theory to the facts. A final Resolution of the questions that May be raised by today s evidence must therefore await the conclusion of our hearings and final report in de Cember. In 1964, the Warren commission acknowledged there was confusion among witnesses on How Many shots were heard. The consensus among the witnesses atthe scene is that three shots were fired it said. However some heard Only two shots while others testified that they heard four and perhaps As Many As five or six the most convincing evidence the Warren report said was provided by the presence on the sixth floor of the Texas school Book depository building of three spent cartridges. Fired by the same Rifle which caused the wounds to Kennedy and Texas gov. John Connally. Crease the Bill of the average residential consumer by at least 30 cents a month and perhaps As much As $1.10.the Agency estimates that the Utility Industry will build More than 200 Fossil fuel fired Power plants by 1990. Costle estimated that the scrubber would remove 85 percent of the Fulfur dioxide produced by the burning Epa estimates that in 1976, Power plants accounted for 65 percent of All sul fur dioxide emissions in the United states. In addition Costle said the scrubbing would Cut Down on the emissions of Nitro Gen dioxide and particulate matter such Assort and smoke. Costle also discussed the Cost saying there already has been considerable de Bate about the Impact of this requirement on Coal production inflation Industry costs and environmental impacts. Today proposal does not and should not end that regulatory procedures Epa will review the plan after receiving comment from Industry and other affected parties. After this review Epa will Issue a final ruling not expected for Many months.
