September 27

Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, Representative Hale Boggs, Senator John Cooper, Allen Dulles, Director of the CIA, Representative Gerald Ford, John J. McCloy, Director of the World Bank, and Senator Richard Russell, Jr. were called upon to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Future Senator Arlen Spector acted as counsel for the commissioners. Why this was referred to as the Warren Commission is beyond me, though I’m sure there is a pretty good story behind that one. On the 27th in 1964, the Warren Commission, released its report. Controversy has dogged the Warren Commission ever since. It’s report, also the focal point of controversy, firmly concluded that it had been Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, who killed Kennedy. The current administration has recently released classified documents which prove with a clarity that has come to be expected of President Bush that it was actually Professor Plum in the Library with the candlestick that killed Kennedy.
