It has been over forty years since the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy on November 22, 1963. On that day, the world witnessed an atrocious and shocking act of violence directed against a man, a family, a nation, and against all mankind. This Investigations Unit was set up under the umbrella of the Central Intelligence Agency. Its aim in creating this report lies in the desire to present to the American people and to the world, a sense of renewed truth and hopefully, as a consequence, a sense of finality over the horrific acts described above. This report has the potential to achieve its aim through establishing cumulative and more concrete understanding regarding the events occurring at the time of and during the moments after the assassination.
