But with the completion of its path in the city center, shots rang fromDeposit Texas School Booksbuilding. The 24 -year -old police arrestedLee Harvey Ozwald,Who put himself from a sniper on the sixth floor. Two days later, Jack Ruby, the owner of a nightclub, shot Ozwald while transferring the prison.
A year after the assassination, the Warren committee, which was established by President Lindon Johnson for investigation, concluded that Oswald spent on his own and that there was no evidence of a conspiracy. But this did not suppress a network of alternative theories over the decades.
JFK files
In the early 1990s, the federal government imposed that all documents related to the assassination be placed in one group in the management of archives and national records. It was necessary to collect more than 5 million pages of recordsOpened by 2017,With the exception of any exemptions set by the president.
Trump, who took office for his first term in 2017, said that he would allow the release of all the remaining records, but he ended up returning to what he launchedA possible damage to national security.And while the filesReleaseDuring the administration of President Joe Biden, some remain invisible.
The researchers estimated that 3000 files or soIt was not released,Either total or partial.
And last month,The FBI saidHe has discovered about 2,400 new records related to assassination. The agency said at the time that it is working to transfer records to the national archives to be included in the formulation process.
There are still some documents in the JFK group that researchers do not believe that the president will be able to release him. About 500 documents, including tax declarations, were not subject to disclosure requirements for 2017.
What has been learned
Some documentsIt was already releasedDetails were offered about how intelligence services were working at that time, including Central Intelligence Cables and notes discussing Ozwald’s visits to Soviet and Cuban embassies during a trip to Mexico just weeks before the assassination. The previous navy had previously defected in front of the Soviet Union before returning to Texas.
A Central Intelligence Memorandum describes how Ozwald contacted the Soviet embassy while she was in Mexico City to request a visa to visit the Soviet Union. He also visited the Cuban embassy, and it seems that he is interested in a travel visa that allows him to visit Cuba and wait there for a Soviet visa. On October 3, more than a month before the assassination, he returned to the United States with a crossing point on the Texas border.
Another note, dated the day following the assassination of Kennedy, says that according to an objectionable phone call in Mexico City, Ozwald has communicated with the KGB officer while he was at the Soviet embassy in September.
The researchers said the publications also contributed to the understanding of that time period during the Cold War.
