House Select Committee on Assassinations

The public record identifies House Select Committee on Assassinations as a presidential files matter associated with U.S. House of Representatives during 1976–1979. A congressional investigation that reexamined the assassinations of President Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The committee reviewed forensic evidence, intelligence records and witness testimony more than a decade after the JFK assassination.

The committee agreed that Oswald fired the shots that killed Kennedy but stated that acoustic evidence suggested a probable conspiracy. Later scientific reviews disputed the acoustic interpretation, and the finding remains contested.
