The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was a congressional re-investigation into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., operating from 1976 to 1979. This committee revisited evidence a decade after the Warren Commission, examining acoustic, medical, and intelligence information. Its work is significant for providing a later, independent governmental assessment of these pivotal historical events, often challenging or expanding upon earlier findings.
The records from the HSCA collection include a variety of materials reflecting its investigative scope. These encompass internal HSCA forms, registers, and summaries, such as those pertaining to individuals like Earl Ruby and Samuel Ruby, and reports concerning figures like David W. Ferrie and his associates in New Orleans. The collection also contains documents related to Lee Harvey Oswald, including his activities in Mexico City and New Orleans, and his alleged connections to anti-Castro organizations. Furthermore, the HSCA records include correspondence and requests to other agencies, such as the FBI and CIA, demonstrating the committee's efforts to gather information from various intelligence and law enforcement sources.
A substantial portion of the records also consists of materials originating from the CIA, often marked as "Not Believed Relevant" (NBR) or with release delays. These CIA files cover a wide range of subjects, from individuals like Claire Booth Luce and Daniel Flores to operational files and studies, including a multi-volume study on Yuriy Ivanovich Nosenko. The presence of redacted and partially released documents across both HSCA and CIA records indicates the sensitive nature of the information reviewed during the re-investigation.
