</s>56-156 61/12/10 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176

John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.

Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and employee of the Texas School Book Depository, fired multiple shots from the sixth floor of the building at around 12:30 PM Central Standard Time.

The Warren Commission, established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination, concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy from behind.

However, subsequent investigations and reviews have raised questions about the commission's findings, including concerns about the handling of evidence and potential government involvement.

The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was formed in 1976 to re-examine the JFK assassination. The committee concluded that there was a "probable conspiracy" involving organized crime and government agencies.

Key figures involved in the investigation include:

* Allen Dulles, former CIA Director and Warren Commission member
* J. Lee Rankin, Chief Counsel for the Warren Commission
* Mark Lane, attorney who represented Oswald's family
* Arlen Specter, Senator who chaired the HSCA

Notable events related to the assassination include:

* The Zapruder film, which captured the moment of the shooting on November 22, 1963
* The autopsy report, which was initially withheld from the public but later released in 1992
* The release of previously classified documents related to the JFK assassination, including those referenced above.
