Abstract
THE REPORT CONSISTS OF AN INITIAL CHAPTER SUMMARIZING THE COMMISSION'S BASIC FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS, FOLLOWED BY A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE FACTS AND THE ISSUES RAISED BY THE EVENTS OF NOVEMBER 22, 1963, AND THE TWO FOLLOWING DAYS. INDIVIDUAL CHAPTERS CONSIDER THE TRIP TO DALLAS, THE SHOTS FROM THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY, THE IDENTITY OF THE ASSASSIN, THE KILLING OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD, THE POSSIBILITY OF A CONSPIRACY, OSWALD'S BACKGROUND AND POSSIBLE MOTIVE, AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PRESIDENT. IN THESE CHAPTERS, RATHER THAN RELY ON CROSS REFERENCES, THE COMMISSION ON OCCASION HAS REPEATED CERTAIN TESTIMONY IN ORDER THAT THE READER MIGHT HAVE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION BEFORE HIM WHILE EXAMINING THE CONCLUSIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON EACH IMPORTANT ISSUE.
