Gerald Ford Warren Commission

The Warren Commission, officially known as the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, was established on November 29, 1963, by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy, which had occurred on November 22, 1963. The commission was chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren and included prominent figures such as Allen Dulles, John J. McCloy, and Gerald R. Ford, who later became the 38th President of the United States. The commission's final report, published in September 1964, concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy and that Oswald was not part of a larger conspiracy. The report's findings have been both widely accepted and heavily criticized over the years. In Hebrew, the Warren Commission is known as ועדת וורן, and in Spanish, it is referred to as the Comisión Warren. The commission's work remains a significant point of reference in discussions about the Kennedy assassination and the broader context of Cold War-era conspiracy theories.
