John Titus had several interviews with David Slawson, who served on the Warren Commission. It's interesting for this tidbit, which shows that it wasn't only the FBI who intimidated people ... the CIA got in on the intimidation game as well.

John Titus Wrote:After the conclusion of the Warren Commission a researcher had discovered a memo that states that someone was using Oswald’s name and identification while he was in Russia. Howard Willens took a poll of the investigators as to how many of them thought this aspect should be re-investigated. Slawson said he was the only one that said yes, we should look into it. On a Sunday morning Slawson received a phone call at his house.

It was none other than James Angleton, the creepy head of CIA counterintelligence. Angleton began with a pleasant greeting and asked Slawson to please say hello for him to the President of USC, where Slawson taught law. That man had been CIA station chief in India, and Angleton knew him.

Then Angleton got to the point; He said "Are you still loyal to us?" I asked Slawson what he thought Angleton meant by "us". Slawson said "The CIA. Am I still loyal to the CIA."

He told Angleton – Yes. It scared Slawson’s wife to death. Slawson said he was too cocky to think they would try and kill him, but he knew that if he had crossed them they would destroy his reputation and career. (original article here.)
