Fifty years ago.........................................

The Warren Commission delivers its report.............




The Warren Commission was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson to find the truth about the assassination of John F. Kennedy (and Jack Ruby).  The Report concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own, assassinated Kennedy and that Jack Ruby, on his own, assassinated Oswald on live TV. Conspiracy theorists have had a field day ever since.

The Warren Commission members were Chief Justice Earl Warren, Richard Russell (Democrat Senator from Georgia), John Sherman Cooper (Republican Senator from Kentucky), Hale Boggs (Democrat House Majority Leader from Louisiana), Gerald Ford (Republican House Minority Leader from Michigan), Allen Dulles (head of the CIA), and John J. McCloy (former president of the World Bank).  Here is a video, without very good audio, of the delivery of the Report by the members.
