7:02 am
>> welcome to cbs this morning. a massive document release overnight is shedding new light on the 1963 assassination of president john f. kennedy. the national archives put out thousands of government files from one of america's most traumatic periods. >> but at the last minute president trump said he had to block the release of hundreds of records. the fbi and cia claim those secret documents could pose a security risk. >> cbs news had a team up all night reading the declassified papers to see what they reveal. chip reid is at the national archives in washington with what we have learned. >> good morning. according to a 1992 law, midnight last night was the deadline for releasing the last batch of documents pertaining to the kennedy anation. some documents have been withheld for a six-month national security review, but that doesn't mean we didn't have something to read. there are tens of thousands of documents. >> president, mrs. kennedy, a
7:03 am
warm welcome. >> what happened that november day in dallas still haunts the nation. >> only a matter of minutes before he arrives at the -- >> a young president killed. >> president kennedy died at 1:00 p.m. central standard time. >> then the alleged assassin, lee harvey oswald, was killed two days later. stirring rumors of a conspiracy. the newly released documents show the fbi knew of a possible threat against oswald. fbi director j. edgar hoover wrote a memo saying the night before oswald was shot, a man called saying he was a member of a committee organized to kill oswald. the fbi reportedly contacted dallas police who assured them at quad protection would be given. however, this was not done. the fbi had actually been monitoring oswald's shooter jack ruby for a year. hoover wrote that he was concerned about conspiracies and wanted to have something issued so we can convince the public that oswald is the real assassin. >> i really don't know what the situation is.
7:04 am
>> the fbi director also knew that oswald had ties to cuba and russia. oswald was revealed to be on the fbi's radar a month before the assassination and he apparently told an associate he wanted to kill president eisenhower. some information that came out after the assassination, one man told investigators he heard a man betting $100 that president kennedy would be dead within three weeks. a 413-page memo details every threat against kennedy including those from the ku klux klan and some with mental illness. the documents also show that both russia and cuba feared they would be blamed and russia worried that kennedy's death could possibly lead to nuclear war. experts on the kennedy assassination say there are so many new documents and they are so cryptic and almost impossible to understand that it could be weeks, months or even years before we know the full significance of this latest release. and they say even then we may never know the whole truth. >> thanks, chip.

7:16 am
>> not really. they're saying about $1.3 billion in revenue came from whole foods after the deal closed. it kicked in a little bit on profits. the story is not what whole foods is today. it's what it's going to be. i went into a whole foods in los angeles yesterday. the first thing i saw were those amazon lockers where you can ship your packages there. that story is still to come. >> now they're going from whole foods to wholesale pharmacy license in a dozen states. they want to get into the pharmacy business. and now leading to this cvs/aetna deal. what would amazoning doing? >> i think this is a brilliant idea. a natural extension to go into drugs and drug whole sales because they have such a great logistics model that they can take advantage of and it has the drugstore chains worried. when it was announced they were going down this direction, their stocks did sell off. and so they're looking for other means of growing. and so that's why i think we saw the cvz/aetna aunderstand

noment, as well as the fact the government says we don't want any more of these drugstores to tie up together. they did not allow walgreens to buy rite-aid. >> what else might they go into? >> well, who knows. they have to have logical extensions of what they do. i think first they're going to maximize this whole foods purchase and really bring this brick and mortar in line together. i think there's a lot of synergies there still to come. that's what i would be watching very closely. and think about the private label business. >> so whole foods, the cloud industry, maybe pharmacies, is there any concern from anybody that -- outside of amazon, that they may be taking on way too much? >> i think there's always that concern. anything can happen. this is not going to be straight up. i think they're going to, you know, stub their toe from time to time, that's for sure. what they've done so far is really, really smart. and they haven't been acquirers. whole foods was very unusual for them to do that deal. everything else has really been a function of serving their customer.

8:05 am
also possibly in the senate by that deadline as well. so republicans are trying to move this as rapidly as possible because they know the longer this debate goes on the more the strains within the party about the underlying specifics will press them and possibly undermine their push. >> really interesting to hear about that fast track. major, what do you think this coming week will tell us about the relationship between the president and his republican colleagues on capitol hill? >> reporter: how can the president negotiate it in a way that gives house and senate republicans the latitude they need? earlier in the week he complicated things dramatically by saying you can't touch 401(k) tax free deductions at all. they want to do that. there's a big fight over local and state tax deductions, they want to eliminate that and some want to keep them. watch those carefully thanks. in spain catalonia's parliament voted to declare independence a short time ago. spain's prime minister

8:07 am
rule. if the prime minister gets his way, that means you could can see the top government leaders here in catalonia lose their jobs and the catalonian parliament be stripped of some of their power. these people here, the supporters, some draped in flags that have been adopted by the independence movement here, don't want to see that happen and they surrounded parliament today to try to create a shield of sorts to support legislators inside. they fear direct rule from madrid, and in some cases we have heard from separatist leaders who have encouraged civil disobedience if madrid comes in, and now we're expecting to see it take place, norah. a fast-moving situation. >> an important story there. thank you, seth doane in bars lone ya' the pope called the crew of the international space station.
