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
(_d_) The Commission has explored all attempts of Oswald to
identify himself with various political groups, including the
Communist Party, U. S. A., the Fair Play for Cuba Committee,
and the Socialist Workers Party, and has been unable to find
any evidence that the contacts which he initiated were related
to Oswald’s subsequent assassination of the President.
(_e_) All of the evidence before the Commission established
that there was nothing to support the speculation that Oswald
was an agent, employee, or informant of the FBI, the CIA, or
any other governmental agency. It has thoroughly investigated
Oswald’s relationships prior to the assassination with all
agencies of the U. S. Government. All contacts with Oswald by
any of these agencies were made in the regular exercise of
their different responsibilities.
(_f_) No direct or indirect relationship between Lee Harvey
Oswald and Jack Ruby has been discovered by the Commission, nor
has it been able to find any credible evidence that either knew
the other, although a thorough investigation was made of the
many rumors and speculations of such a relationship.
(_g_) The Commission has found no evidence that Jack Ruby acted
with any other person in the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald.
(_h_) After careful investigation the Commission has found no
credible evidence either that Ruby and Officer Tippit, who was
killed by Oswald, knew each other or that Oswald and Tippit
knew each other.
Because of the difficulty of proving negatives to a certainty
the possibility of others being involved with either Oswald
or Ruby cannot be established categorically, but if there is
any such evidence it has been beyond the reach of all the
investigative agencies and resources of the United States and
has not come to the attention of this Commission.
10. In its entire investigation the Commission has found no evidence of
conspiracy, subversion, or disloyalty to the U. S. Government by any
Federal, State, or local official.
11. On the basis of the evidence before the Commission it concludes
that Oswald acted alone. Therefore, to determine the motives for the
assassination of President Kennedy, one must look to the assassin
himself. Clues to Oswald’s motives can be found in his family
history, his education or lack of it, his acts, his writings, and the
recollections of those who had close contacts with him throughout
his life. The Commission has presented with this report all of the
background information bearing on motivation which it could discover.
Thus, others may study Lee Oswald’s life and arrive at their own
conclusions as to his possible motives.
