The Warren Commission was a presidential commission established in 1963 and led by Chief Justice Earl Warren to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Its 1964 report concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The JFK Assassination Records Collection contains numerous documents related to the Commission's work, particularly its interactions with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Records in the collection illuminate the extensive communication between the Warren Commission and the CIA. These include chronological lists of CIA disseminations, memoranda, and letters received by the Commission, as well as discussions between the two entities. Specific areas of focus include the CIA's review of agency holdings regarding a photograph of an unidentified individual in Mexico City, which was published in the Warren Commission Report. Draft reports and factual chronological surveys related to this photograph are also present.
Further records detail CIA activities and their relevance to the Warren Commission's investigation, including an item prepared for the Commission on "Soviet Use of Assassination and Kidnapping." The collection also contains selected excerpts of Warren Commission testimony and internal CIA reviews of the Commission's critics, highlighting the ongoing scrutiny of its findings.
