Uniforms II

The autopsists were threatened with courts-martial as follows: "You are reminded that you are under verbal orders of the Surgeon General, U.S. Navy, to discuss with no one events connected with official duties on the evening of 22 November - 23 November, 1963.

"This letter constitutes official notification and reiteration of these verbal orders. You are warned an infraction of these orders makes you liable to Court Martial proceedings under appropriate article of the Uniform Code of Military Justice."  This order applied to all officer and enlisted men concerned.  Apparently it still binds them after retirement.

--"High Treason" by Robert J. Groden and Harrison Edward Livingstone, p. 87, 88 (footnote omitted)
