their publisher at the time, tom johnson, who ran across information in the senate, he was in the 1970s when he found out that the fbi had actually gotten threatening note from leevey oswald which he dropped off at their office. he had been offended as it were because they had come to check on his wife, who of course was a soviet citizen, he had defected to the soviet union. it seems to me if you all had known that, that oswald made these statements in mexico, wouldn't it have changed the way you protected -- >> it would have changed everything. the least thing he would have been put under protective surveillance. had somebody watching him all the time. but we had no knowledge that he had any interest in the president whatsoever. >> schieffer: ever get to a point in america where these various agencies, which do such a great job, would do a better job of sharing what they know and cooperating with one another? >> i think it has improved. i think but even through 2011. up in new york. at that time information was not being shared. always been a problem. just hopefully it will get better. >> schieffer: i want to show you an iconic photo that we all know it's what

tom ackerman has a closer look. >> reporter: one and a half centuries after america's silver war, general robert e. leetill stands tall in richmond as commander of the rebel army, lee was declared a traitor and stripped of his u.s. citizenship for the rest of his life. the confederate flag still waves across the south and more reminders that this region has not wiped away the spirit that have time. >> you still feel that rebel pride and proud, and that sort of, yeah, that's still there. there is still a lot of that southern pride in a lot of people in the south. >> at the gettysburg battlefield 150 years ago president abraham lincoln quote, would bring forth a new birth of freedom. >> this private cemetery in richmond is the final resting place for most of the 12,000 confederate soldiers who died in that battle. here by the american civil war center visitors are presented with three alternate perspectives of what caused the north. the north's determination to preserve the union, the african-american's yearning for freedom, but the southern's need to save their slave-based economy. >> it's not just abou

tom brokaw. >> where do you come down on the conspiracy theories? >> to this day i have serious doubts that leeed alone. >> really. >> i certainly have doubts that he was motivated by himself. i'm not sure if anybody else was involved. i don't go down that road with respect to the theory and all that. i have serious questions about whether they got to the bottom of lee harvey oswald's time and influence from cuba and russia. >> did not act alone. "outfront," the author of the book, six seconds in dallas. a micro study of the assassination of kennedy. did not act alone. that's not something to be honest, one expects to hear from a sitting secretary of state of the united states. that's a significant statement. do you think john kerry is right? >> yeah. i think he's right but i think your earlier clip on the arafat matter is really relevant here. because science seem to be solving that and i think once again, the kennedy matter. i think science within the last ten years has come one some very important discoveries that tell us that ken was actually killed by a shot from the right front. >> so you

lee harvey oswald acted alone. here is the exchange between john kerry and tom brokaw on nbc. >> i think he was inspired somewhere byon't know what. again, i can't pin anything down on that. >> where do you come down on the conspiracy theorie? >> to this day, i have serious doubts that lee harvey oswald acted alone. >> really. >> i certainly have doubts that he was -- that he was motivated by himself. i'm not sure if anybody else was involved. i don't go down that road with respect to the grassy knoll theory and all of that. but i have serious questions about whether they got to the bottom of lee harvey oswald's time and influence from cuba and russia. >> and what about the cia? there are some who believe -- >> i have never gone there. no. i don't believe that. >> but you think the russians and cubans may have had something to do with it? >> i think he was inspired somewhere by something and i don't know what, again, i can't pin anything down on that, tom. i never spent a lot of time -- >> do you think it was more than -- >> i'm not going to speculate now. i'm just going to say to you that that's my belief. i'm not
