September 1. 96. 4 concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, and that Jack Ruby also acted alone when he killed Oswald before he could stand trial. Kennedys death marked the fourth following that of Lincoln, Garfield, and Mc. Kinley and most recent assassination of an American President. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically became President upon Kennedys death. In contrast to the conclusions of the Warren Commission, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations HSCA concluded in 1. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The HSCA agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries sustained by Kennedy and Connally were caused by Oswalds three rifle shots, but they also determined the existence of an additional gunshot based on analysis of an audio recording and therefore. President. The Committee was not able to identify any individuals or groups involved with the possible conspiracy. In addition, the HSCA found that the original federal investigations were seriously flawed with respect to information sharing and the possibility of conspiracy. As recommended by the HSCA, the acoustic evidence indicating conspiracy was subsequently re examined and rejected. In light of the investigative reports determining that reliable acoustic data do not support a conclusion that there was a second gunman, the U. S. Justice Department concluded active investigations and stated that no persuasive evidence can be identified to support the theory of a conspiracy in. President Kennedy.

President Kennedys motorcade route through Dallas with Johnson and Connally was planned to give him maximum exposure to local crowds prior to his arrival1. Trade Mart, where he would meet with civic and business leaders. The White House staff informed the Secret Service that the President would arrive at Dallas Love Field via a short flight from Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth. The Dallas Trade Mart had been preliminarily selected for the luncheon, and Kenneth ODonnellPresident Kennedys friend and appointments secretary had selected the Trade Mart as the final destination on the motorcade route. Leaving from Dallas Love Field, the motorcade had been allotted 4. Trade Mart at a planned arrival time of 1. The itinerary was designed to be a meandering 1. Special Agent Winston G.

Sorrels, Special Agent in charge of the Dallas office, were most active in planning the actual route. On November 1. 4, both men attended a meeting at Love Field and drove over the route that Sorrels believed was best suited for the motorcade. From Love Field, the route passed through a suburban portion of Dallas, through Downtown along Main Street, and finally to the Trade Mart via a short segment of the Stemmons Freeway. The President had planned to return to Love Field to depart for a fundraising dinner in Austin later that day. For the return trip, the agents selected a more direct route, which was approximately four miles, or 6. The planned route to the Trade Mart was widely reported in Dallas newspapers several days before the event, for the benefit of people who wished to view the motorcade. To pass through Downtown Dallas, a route west along Dallas Main Street, rather than Elm Street one block to the north was chosen, because this was the traditional parade route, and provided the maximal building and crowd views. The route on Main Street precluded a direct turn onto the Fort Worth Turnpike exit which served also as the Stemmons Freeway exit, which was the route to the Trade Mart, because this exit was only accessible from Elm Street. The planned motorcade route thus included a short one block turn at the end of the downtown segment of Main Street, onto Houston Street for one block northward, before turning again west onto Elm, in order to proceed through Dealey Plaza before exiting Elm onto the Stemmons Freeway. The Texas School Book Depository was situated at the northwest corner of Houston and Elm. Three vehicles were used for Secret Service and police protection in the Dallas motorcade.
