Yazar: President s. Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy U. S. Government

The President”s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, commonly known as the Warren Commission, was an eight-member commission established by President Lyndon B. Johnson through Executive Order 11130 on November 29, 1963. The commission”s task was to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the subsequent murder of the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. Chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren, the commission diligently sought to clarify the events of November 22, 1963, excruciatingly dissecting witness testimonies and evidence. The Commission”s final report, known as “The Warren Commission: Investigation and Final Report, ” was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and later released to the public. Comprising 888 pages, the report meticulously described the findings of the commission and famously concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination. Despite its detailed investigation, the report”s conclusions have spurred numerous debates, and it remains a pivotal piece of literature on the subject. The Warren Commission”s legacy is engrained in American history and its investigation laid the groundwork for all ensuing discourse on the Kennedy assassination.
