Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
On the same date, the Texas Employment Commission attempted to refer
Oswald to an airline company which was looking for baggage and cargo
handlers at a salary which was $100 per month higher than that offered
by the Depository Co.[C6-17] The Employment Commission tried to advise
Oswald of this job at 10:30 a.m. on October 16, 1963. Since the records
of the Commission indicate that Oswald was then working,[C6-18] it
seems clear that Oswald was hired by the Depository Co. before the
higher paying job was available. It is unlikely that he ever learned of
this second opportunity.
Although publicity concerning the President’s trip to Dallas appeared
in Dallas newspapers as early as September 13, 1963, the planning of
the motorcade route was not started until after November 4, when the
Secret Service was first notified of the trip.[C6-19] A final decision
as to the route could not have been reached until November 14, when
the Trade Mart was selected as the luncheon site.[C6-20] Although
news reports on November 15 and November 16 might have led a person
to believe that the motorcade would pass the Depository Building, the
route was not finally selected until November 18; it was announced
in the press on November 19, only 3 days before the President’s
arrival.[C6-21] Based on the circumstances of Oswald’s employment and
the planning of the motorcade route, the Commission has concluded that
Oswald’s employment in the Depository was wholly unrelated to the
President’s trip to Dallas.
