Mr, Lane indicated, however, that he believes a valid investi jjation of the assassinatinn is be ginning to take shape, despite the formidable forces that have been arrayed against it, He said investigations into the nation's intelligence apparatus being. conducted by the Church committee in the Senate and the Nedil committee in the House of Represeniatives could trie loundation lor a genuine iiituy ui me assassination.
