JFK Assassination: The CIA/FBI Theory Noel M. Cassidy C. Patrick N. Anna L.

Overview Shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas. Warren Commission, was established on November 29, 1963, by President Lyndon Johnson to investigate the assassination. The Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of President Kennedy and the wounding of Texas Governor John Connally. The Commission findings has been proven to be controversial and have been challenged by later studies.

THE MOTIVE

Motive During the Bay of Pigs, Kennedy and the CIA disagreed on the plans for invasion. Kennedy called off the second air strike, upsetting the CIA, which in the CIA’s opinion, was the cause of the failure. After the failed coup, Kennedy fired some of the CIA’s officials. After the Bay of Pigs, The Kennedy Committee and the CIA never worked well together again.

THE EVIDENCE

Evidence Kennedy and CIA Problems Assassination of Foreign Leaders and the Church Committee ∙ Church committee investigated illegal intelligence gathering of the CIA, FBI, and NSA ∙ Diem of Vietnam Bay of Pigs ∙ Remarked that he wanted “to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds” ∙ Kennedy brothers firing Allen Dulles, Richard M. Bissell, and Charles P. Cabell in November Allen Dulles: head of the CIA. Later lobbied hard to be a part of JFK’s assassination investigation - Richard M. Bissell: responsible for U-2 spy planes during invasion - Charles P. Cabell: United States Air Force General and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency

Evidence Arthur Knock, author of "The Intra-Administration War in Vietnam” article in the New York Times on October 3 rd, 1963 ∙ Quotes a high ranking official in the government: - “[t]he CIA's growth was likened to a malignancy” which this “very high official was not even sure the White House could control... any longer. If the United States ever experiences [an attempt at a coup to overthrow the government] it will come from the CIA and not the Pentagon.” The “agency represents a tremendous power and total unaccountability to anyone”. - Meaning, that if anyone was to overthrow the government, it would be from the CIA

Evidence The Three Tramps Three known CIA agents detained and questioned by the police ∙ E. Howard Hunt: CIA station chief who was involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Worked as one of Nixon’s Whitehouse Plumbers ∙ Frank Sturgis: also involved in Bay of Pigs and Plumbers. Involved with Marita Lorenz in 1959, who identified him as a gunman in the assassination - Marita Lorenz was a German woman who had an affair with Fidel Castro. She worked with the CIA in assassination attempts on Castro's life - She was also involved with a group of anti-Cuban militants including Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the assassination - Claims to have met Sturgis when she met Oswald, and drove with the men to Dallas before flying back to Miami. - Marita now works for the FBI and lives in New York

Evidence The Three Tramps Three known CIA agents detained and questioned by the police ∙ Chauncey Holt: claimed to be a double agent of the CIA and the Mafia - Assignment was to give fake Secret Service credentials to people in Dallas - Witnesses claim that there were multiple unidentified men in the area claiming to be Secret Service

Evidence FBI Involvement Criticism of how the FBI conducted the investigation of JFK’s murder ∙ The FBI was deficient in its sharing of information with other agencies and departments ∙ The FBI had investigated Oswald prior to the assassination to determine whether Oswald was a threat to the public safety ∙ The congressional Committee determined that the FBI failed to adequately investigate a conspiracy for an assassination of the President

CONCLUSION

Conclusion On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald as he rode in a motorcade through Dallas, Texas The resentment of the Kennedy Committee and the CIA towards each other led to the assassination of the President Proven through evidence, the assassination of the President was organized in association with the CIA and FBI. That evidence includes animosity between JFK and the CIA in dealing with foreign policies, JFK’s “humiliation” of certain CIA agents, and quotes taken from witnesses in both the Kennedy Committee and the CIA/FBI
