The Assassination of John F. Kennedy After a very close election John F. Kennedy beat republican opponent Richard Nixon for presidency. The first months of Kennedy’s terms did not go smoothly, among many other conflicts and situational events the main disappointment was the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs Invasion. Kennedy’s whole time in office did not reflect his first few months. He was very successful in stimulating the economy, the civil rights movements, and also keeping the cold war from becoming hot. Kennedy did not continue his success because he was assassinated. What would have happen if JFK was actually killed by the CIA? Americans would not believe in their government. Lee Harvey Oswald is believed to have been the one responsible for the assassination of the president, although there are discrepancy’s and evidence to support a conspiracy theory. (Expand intro). Kennedy was traveling and doing speeches in nine different states in only a week, in preparation for his next presidential campaign which had not been announced but was obvious.

Another reason the CIA might have wanted JFK dead was because “President Kennedy told Senator Mike Mansfield of his plans to tear the CIA “into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind” (Hager). The CIA had a reason to be worried about Kennedy’s plans to shut down their agency. The CIA looks very suspicious including the circumstances of their problem.

    In 1976, the US Senate ordered a fresh inquiry into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was murdered in 1963 during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas while campaigning for re-election. People who had been involved in the original Warren Commission investigations were asked to make fresh statements. The FBI and the CIA were persuaded to release more of their documents on Oswald. New lines of inquiry were opened and individuals who had not previously given evidence were persuaded to come forward. Most important of all, pieces of evidence such as photos and sound recordings were subjected to scientific analysis using the most up-to-date methods and equipment. The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) completed their investigation in 1979 and they finally came to a discrete verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at Kennedy, one of which killed the president. A fourth shot was fired from the grassy knoll, which was contradictory to the statement printed by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier. They concluded that John Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.
