History
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
A fuller narrative of the social contacts between the Oswalds and the
various persons of the Dallas-Fort Worth community is incorporated
in chapter VII and appendix XIII, and the testimony of all members
of the group who testified before the Commission is included in the
printed record which accompanies the report. The evidence establishes
that the Oswalds’ contacts with these people were originated and
maintained under normal and understandable circumstances. The files
maintained by the FBI contain no information indicating that any of the
persons in the Dallas-Fort Worth community with whom Oswald associated
were affiliated with any Communist, Fascist, or other subversive
organization.[C6-403] During the course of this investigation, the
Commission has found nothing which suggests the involvement of any
member of the Russian-speaking community in Oswald’s preparations to
assassinate President Kennedy.
Political Activities Upon Return to the United States
Upon his return from the Soviet Union, Oswald had dealings with the
Communist Party, U.S.A., the Socialist Workers Party, and the Fair
Play for Cuba Committee, and he also had minor contacts with at least
two other organizations with political interests. For the purpose
of determining whether Oswald received any advice, encouragement,
or assistance from these organizations in planning or executing the
assassination of President Kennedy, the Commission has conducted a full
investigation of the nature and extent of Oswald’s relations with them.
The Commission has also conducted an investigation to determine whether
certain persons and organizations expressing hostility to President
Kennedy prior to the assassination had any connection with Lee Harvey
Oswald or with the shooting of the President.
_Communist Party, U.S.A.; Socialist Workers Party._--In August of 1962,
Oswald subscribed to the Worker, a publication of the Communist Party,
U.S.A.[C6-404] He also wrote the Communist Party to obtain pamphlets
and other literature which, the evidence indicates, were sent to him
as a matter of course.[C6-405]
