<font color=blue>Michael Dobbs took questions online Monday.<font color=black> From that article....... San Antonio, Tex.: Doug Brinkley of New Orleans and Kerry biographer has said in a very recent interview that he does not have exclusivity rights to Kerry's materials: Vietnam diary and old personal letters to parents, Judy Thirne Kerry, and friends, sent home from Vietnam. To the best of your knowledge, how hard is mainstream media working for access to Kerry's materials? Is the Kerry campaign cooperating? Michael Dobbs: <font color=blue>I can only speak for myself. I have repeatedly asked the Kerry campaign to provide me with access to his journals and writings, particularly those relating to the Bronze Star incident which I have written about in detail. They have declined my requests so far. You are right to point out that Brinkley now says these papers are under Kerry's control. He appears to be renouncing the exclusivity agreement cited earlier by both him and Kerry as a reason for not granting independent access to the papers........ <font color=black> Alexandria, Va.: Do you wonder why Senator Kerry will not allow himself to be questioned by the press about his service and awards in Vietnam? Why is that? Where are Senator Kerry's records and did he ever serve his obligation in the Ready Reserve upon his return to the U.S.? How could a U.S. officer, who had sworn an oath, meet with NVA and Vietcong leaders in Paris while still a member of the Ready Reserve? Michael Dobbs:<font color=blue> Kerry has given interviews to the press on this subject in the past, but you're right, he doesn't seem to have given any since the current controversy flared up again in early August. I would very much like to talk to him, but have had no luck so far in my requests for an interview. His personal records are with the Naval Personnel Command in Tennessee.
