Warren Report

Warren Report, findings of the commission established (Nov. 1963) by President Lyndon Johnson to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The commission comprised Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, U.S. Representatives Hale Boggs and Gerald Ford; U.S. Senators Richard Russell and John S. Cooper; Allen Dulles; and John J. McCloy. The report, released in Sept. 1964, concluded that neither assassin Lee Harvey Oswald nor his killer, Jack Ruby, was part of a conspiracy. It criticized the FBI and Secret Service and recommended reforms in presidential security. The work of the commission has been widely challenged since its findings were published, and in 1979 a congressional committee announced its determinations, based on acoustical evidence, that 2 gunmen had shot at Kennedy.
