The 889-page final report is presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964. Concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing of Kennedy and the wounding of Texas Governor John Connally
Fears of possible Soviet or Cuban foreign involvement in the assassination necessitated the establishment of a bipartisan commission that, in turn, sought to depoliticize Oswald's role by downplaying his Communist affiliations
