ITEK ANALYSIS

To the Editors of the Crimson:

We were interested to read the article you carried in the June 2 issue of the Crimson which referred to Itek's analysis of the Nix film of the Kennedy assassination.

The following points will hopefully clarify our position with respect to some of Mr. Marcus' statements.

1. Mr. Marcus talked to me twice on the telephone and, in fact, visited our Lexington plant last week to obtain a copy of our technical report on the analysis.

2. The Nix analysis was undertaken by Itek as a public service and was not subsidized by UPI or anyone else.

3. Having decided to do the job, we were committed to reporting the results of our investigation whatever they might have been and have done so.

As far as I know, your reporter has not spoken with anyone here at Itek. Moreover, I do not know whether or not he has seen our technical report. Howard J. Hall   Manager, Public Relations   Itek Corporation
