This report, often referred to as the Schweiker-Hart Report after
its authors, discusses the performance of the CIA and FBI in the
investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy. The report
analyzes the general question of whether and by what degree the
CIA and FBI withheld relevant information from the Warren Commission,
which was charged with investigating Kennedy’s murder. Among the
information unknown to the Warren Commission (except Commissioner
Allen Dulles) were the CIA’s plots to kill Fidel Castro. With the
public disclosure of these plots, the idea that Castro “struck back”
gained prominence with many at the time. The Committee found that
the evidence “indicates that the investigation of the assassination
was deficient” and “impeaches the process whereby the intelligence
agencies arrived at their own conclusions.”
