669 Data, Facts, and Timeline about the JFK
Assassination (Part 5 of 7)
So, happy reading.
Facts About the JFK Assassination:
1. Jacqueline Kennedy stood next to Lyndon Baines Johnson when he was sworn in as president on Airforce One's plane, along with Kennedy's body which was taken to Washington for an autopsy.
2. Johnson became president 99 minutes after Kennedy's death.
3. Johnson is the first president to be sworn in by a woman, Federal Judge Sarah T. Hughes, a Johnson family friend.
4. The first two letters that Lyndon Johnson wrote as president were to Caroline and John Jr (Kennedy's children).
5. In the Senate, it so happened that the President's brother, Edward Kennedy, a freshman Senator from Massachusetts, was presiding, when the Chief Democratic Whip, Senator Mike Mansfield, went to the rostrum and told him the news. The Senator put down his gavel and went from the chamber.
6. Haynes Johnson a reporter, says that he was in the room with Robert Kennedy on the afternoon of his brother murder, and he heard him blame the assassination on the CIA and their Anti-Castro Cubans.
7. Oswald has arrived at the homicide and robbery office on the third floor of city hall. When asked if he wants to hide his face from reports, he responds, “Why should I? I haven’t done anything to be ashamed of.”
8. At 3:00 p.m., Oswald’s first interrogation has started. The police take paraffin tests of his hands and face to find if he has fired a gun. The test of the hands comes back positive. They have only charged him with the killing of Officer Tippit. He has not been charged with killing the president yet.
9. The cause of "Death Certificate" was filed early that afternoon by Dr. Robert Mc Clelland, before the Federal government could begin to cover up the facts, with lies and disinformation. Dr. Mc Clelland wrote on the Death Certificate: “The cause of death was due to massive head and brain injury from a gunshot wound of the left temple.” Looking down at the President’s body the gunshot wound would be on the left side, but it was actually above the right eye, on the President’s right temple.
10. During a press conference healed at 3:15 p.m, Dr. Malcolm Perry, MD, who had tried to revive the President by pumping on his heart and performing a tracheotomy inserting a pipe into a small bullet hole in the President’s throat, so he could breathe; explained three times during his interview, that this bullet hole was a wound of entry. Yet his first-hand testimony and Medical ability and evidence were ignored by the Warren Commission.
11. In early afternoon editions, some newspapers in the United States ran stories based on the advance text of the speech that President Kennedy had planned to give at the Dallas Trade Mart, anticipating that the address would already have been delivered by the time that the newspapers were being read.
12. On the same day, television signals were broadcast from the United States to Japan for the first time, with transmission sent from Barstow, California, via the Relay 1 satellite, across the Pacific Ocean. A recorded message from President Kennedy was hastily removed from the items to be sent because the President had died an hour before the scheduled broadcast. Because of the 17-hour time difference between California and Japan, it was 4:00 a.m., on Saturday, in Tokyo, at the same time that transmission began to the NHK.
13. On the afternoon of November 22, 1963 – the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated and the day Carlos Marcello was acquitted in his deportation case – New Orleans private investigator Guy Banister and one of his employees, Jack Martin, were drinking together at a local bar. On their return to Banister's office, the two men got into a heated argument. According to Martin, Banister said something to which Martin replied, "What are you going to do – kill me like you all did Kennedy?" Banister drew his .357 magnum revolver and pistol-whipped Martin several times. Martin, badly injured, went by ambulance to Charity Hospital.
In the ensuing days, Jack Martin told reporters and authorities that David Ferrie might have been involved in the assassination. Martin told the New Orleans police that Ferrie "was supposed to have been the getaway pilot in the assassination." He said that Ferrie had threatened Kennedy's life, even outlining plans to kill him and that Ferrie might have taught Oswald how to use a rifle with a telescopic sight. Martin also claimed that Ferrie had known Oswald from their days in the New Orleans Civil Air Patrol and that he had seen a photograph, at Ferrie's home, of Oswald in a Civil Air Patrol group.
14. At 4:00 p.m., Oswald waits for his first lineup with Helene Markham, the witness to Tippit’s murder. While waiting, Oswald is searched and five bullet cartridges are found in his pocket.
15. At 4:00 p.m., Jack Ruby, who owns The Carousel Club, stops by the police station for the first time. Since many of the officers frequent the club, he is familiar with quite a few people and is able to walk around the police station freely.
16. At 4:00 p.m., FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy to tell him “we have the man.”
17. In interrogation, Oswald admitted that he changed his clothes and armed himself with a .38 revolver before leaving his house to go to the theater.
18. After his arrest, Oswald asked to speak with a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent. Agent John Quigley arrived and spent over an hour talking to Oswald.
19. At about 6:00 p.m., Air Force One, with a coffin containing President Kennedy's body, arrived at Andrews Air Force Base near Camp Springs, Prince George's County, MD, near Washington, D.C.
20. Kennedy's casket was removed from the rear entrance and loaded into a light gray US Navy ambulance for its transport to the Bethesda Naval Hospital for an autopsy and mortician's preparations.
21. At 6:20 p.m., Oswald’s second interrogation starts in Captain Fritz’s office. At this point, they are still only investigating and interrogating Oswald about the shooting death of Officer Tippit.
22. During an interrogation with Captain Fritz, when asked, "Are you a communist?", he replied, "No, I am not a communist. I am a Marxist."
In the interrogation notes taken by Captain Will Fritz, the homicide detective who interrogated Oswald, it shows that Lee Harvey Oswald claimed to have been outside eating his lunch with Bill Shelly the assistant manager, in front of the Texas School Book Depository during the assassination. When a question about his notes from Oswald's interrogation Captain Will Fritz lied and said that he never took any notes; but in 1997 the (ARRB) The "Assassination Record Review Board," published Will Fritz's notes. So Fritz had been lying and the government kept his notes covered up for 34 years.
23. As he is taken out for his second lineup, Oswald yells to the press, “I didn’t shoot anyone!” and, "They've taken me in because I lived in the Soviet Union. I'm just a patsy!”
If Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin sitting in the six-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository, he would have taken his shot at the President as he was approaching slowly toward him on Houston Street, or as he was turning right below him on the corner of Elm Street. This would have been the easiest shot. But he waited until the car passed under the trees and was almost at the sign before firing, because this was the point where all the gunmen had agreed to start shooting at the same time, killing the President in a crossfire, firing from the fire escape of the Dal-Tex Building, the sixth floor and second floor windows of the Texas School Book Depository, two gunmen from behind the picket fence, one from the street sewer, and one from the overpass.
If silencers were used on some rifles, in combination with silenced rifles, witnesses in different parts of the caravan and Dealey Plaza would have heard the shots coming from different directions. Unanimity would have been impossible on the subject of the gunfire's origin." Jim Hougan, Spooks (New York: William Morrow and Company, 1978.)
A shot was fired from the 2nd story of the Dal-Tex building right behind Kennedy, and the bullet missed the President and hit the frame above the windshield, between the two sun visors. The shooter in the Dal-Tex Building must have used a silencer, therefore the shot was not heard by any of the spectators, but there is no mistaking what caused the damage to the car. Afterward, part of a bullet was found in the front seat and another part on the floor in front of the front seat. These bullet holes in the car are proof that there was more than one shooter.

24. After Oswald's arrest and his denial of all guilt, public attention focused both on the extent of the evidence against him and the possibility of a conspiracy, domestic or foreign. His subsequent death heightened public interest and stimulated additional suspicions and rumors.
After Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby, it was no longer possible to arrive at the complete story of the assassination through normal judicial rules during a trial of the alleged assassin.
25. The PSE, as well as Allan Bell Jr., was also featured in George O'Toole's The Assassination Tapes, which was about whether Lee Harvey Oswald actually killed President John F. Kennedy. George O'Toole brought PSE tapes (which were like EKG readouts) of an "anonymous" person saying, "I didn't shoot anybody, no sir" after being asked if he shot the President (JFK). The PSE tests done on Oswald's denial show he was telling the truth.
26. At 7:00 p.m., Jackie Kennedy and Robert Kennedy enter Bethesda Naval Hospital. RFK stops to sign the order for the autopsy of his brother. They are taken to a VIP suite on the 17th floor of the hospital while the autopsy is performed.
27. At 7:00 p.m., General Godfrey McHugh has stopped Admiral Calvin Galloway, who has assembled a team to do the autopsy. McHugh tells Galloway that the autopsy and embalming should be done by his team and that “Mrs. Kennedy doesn’t want an undertaker.” Galloway responds, “We don’t have the facilities. I highly recommend a funeral parlor.” When asked if it’s possible, he says, “It’s not impossible. It’s difficult though. And it might be unsatisfactory.”
28. At 7:05 p.m., Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with "murder with malice" in the killing of police officer J.D. Tippit.
29. At 7:10 p.m., Gordon Shanklin, the FBI agent in charge of the Dallas office, tells New Orleans Bureau chief Harry Maynor, “Oswald was probably a good suspect, but they have been unable to develop information connecting the rifle with Oswald.”
30. On the evening of the assassination, both Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and the new President, Lyndon B. Johnson, called Tippit's widow to express their sympathies. Jacqueline Kennedy wrote a letter expressing sorrow for the bond they shared. The plight of Tippit's family also moved much of the nation and a total of $647,579 was donated to them after the assassination. One of the largest individual gifts was $25,000 that Dallas business person Abraham Zapruder donated to Frances Tippit after selling his film of the president's assassination to Life magazine.
31. The GANEFO games closed in Indonesia. Earlier in the day, the games' soccer championship was played between the United Arab Republic and North Korea before 100,000 fans in Jakarta. The score was tied 0-0 at the end of regulation, and a 30-minute overtime period was added. After the extra time, the score was tied at 1-1, so the gold medal was decided by a coin toss, which the UAR won.
32. Kennedy’s body was stolen from Air Force One, and the wound to his right temple was mutilated, before the autopsy.
Jackie Kennedy kept watch over an empty casket on the flight from Dallas to Bethesda Naval Hospital. Then the body was quietly taken to Bethesda for the autopsy, arriving 20 minutes before Jackie and the empty casket. Who had the power to arrange this?
Who HAS the power today to suppress all this evidence?, and to continue to bombard us with ridiculous lies about a lone gunman? It’s a short list, isn’t it? It doesn’t include the mafia, or the Russians, or Castro. It does include the Bush family – or rather their masters in Big Oil; the banking elite; the backbone of the military industrial complex. These men, and their successors, carried out the attacks of 9-11. It matters.
33. At 8:15 p.m., Kennedy's body began to be autopsied.
34. At Bethesda, the autopsy was performed with three Secret Service agents and two FBI agents present, namely Francis O’Neill and James Silbert.
‘Liggett’s younger brother John, now deceased, was a mortuary worker in Dallas when Kennedy was shot in November 1963. A former wife of John Liggett told her husband was called to Parkland Hospital, where the president was taken after he was shot in 1963, according to the show. She said she thinks her ex-husband used his skills at preparing bodies to do something to Kennedy’s corpse.’ – Grace Murphy, The Vero Beach Herald, 3/19/05.
‘Dishonest autopsy photographs were created; skull x-rays were altered; the contents of the autopsy report changed over time as different versions were produced, and the brain photographs in the National Archives cannot be photographs of President Kennedy’s brain—they are fraudulent, substitute images of someone else’s brain.’ – Douglas Horne, Inside the Assassination Records Review Board, 2009.
35. The autopsy report described a bullet to make Kennedy's back head get a hole of 5 cm. A shot on the head that caused Kennedy to die.
36. During Kennedy's autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital, the president's brain — whose cranium was destroyed by a bullet explosion — was placed in a stainless-steel container with a screw-mounted lid.
37. The Kennedy's brain and other medical evidence are taken to the National Archives and placed in the Secret Service office file cabinet in a storage room managed by Kennedy's loyal former secretary, Evelyn Lincoln.
Unfortunately, Kennedy's brain stored in the national archives disappeared mysteriously.
In October 1966, it was discovered that the brain, tissue preparations, and other autopsy material were lost. Its existence is unknown until now.
38. At 11:00 p.m., under the charge of Commander J.J. Humes, Kennedy’s autopsy is concluded. Dr. Humes later states that the autopsy results were that Kennedy was killed by two shots from the rear.
39. Dr. Gary Aguilar, who stated, "According to Horne’s findings, the second brain—which showed an exit wound in the front—allegedly replaced Kennedy's real brain—which revealed much greater damage to the rear, consistent with an exit wound and thus evidence of a shot from the front."
40. Paul O'Connor, a laboratory technologist who assisted in the autopsy of the President, claimed that the autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital was conducted in obedience to a high command. He has also testified that Kennedy’s brain matter was practically already missing before the autopsy at Bethesda Hospital.
41. At 11:26 p.m., Oswald was charged with the murder of President Kennedy in the furtherance of a Communist conspiracy. (The reference to a Communist conspiracy was soon dropped from the language of the murder charge, reportedly on orders from someone in the White House.)
42. After Captain Fritz signs the complaint charging Oswald with the murder of Kennedy at 11:26 p.m., Judge David Johnson rules that Oswald “voluntarily and with malice of forethought killed John F. Kennedy by shooting him with a gun.”
43. Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of shooting President Kennedy from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. At that time, JFK's position was only 20 meters from the Texas School Book Depository building.
44. On November 22, 1963, it was a huge coincidence that on the same day JFK was assassinated, Rolando Cubela Secades an employee of Fidel Castro was handed a poisoned pen by CIA agents in Paris, for Secades to used to kill Castro.
Castro had to know of the assassination plots against him, so naturally, he would assume that JFK was behind the plots. It was clear that Castro had caused JFK to go through the October missile crisis of 1962. The Russians finally blinked, but it was Castro who allowed them to set up their missiles, just 90 miles from our shore.
45. On November 23, 1963, at 1:35 a.m., Oswald is officially told he has been charged with Kennedy’s murder.
46. On Saturday morning, November 23, 1963, at 1:35 a.m., Kennedy's body was transported to the East Wing of the White House.
47. Oswald told John Elrod, who was arrested as a suspect in the Kennedy Assassination and put in a cell with Lee Harvey Oswald, "I did not shoot the President." Nine months after Ruby killed Oswald, John Elrod went to the Police and said that he had information about the murder of Lee Oswald. He told the FBI that back in the Dallas jail his cellmate had talked about a Hotel room meeting where money changed hands and Jack Ruby was at the meeting. This story places Ruby and Oswald together with several others in a Hotel room before the assassination.
48. On November 23, 1963, the day after the assassination, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's preliminary analysis of the assassination included the following:
The Central Intelligence Agency advised that on October 1st, 1963, an extremely sensitive source had reported that a person identifying himself as Lee Oswald contacted the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City inquiring about any messages. Special agents of this Bureau, who have conversed with Oswald in Dallas, Texas, have observed photographs of the person referred to above and have listened to a recording of his voice. These special agents are think that the referred-to person was not Lee Harvey Oswald.
49. On November 23, 1963, Hoover had this conversation with President Johnson:
JOHNSON: "Have you established any more about the [Oswald] visit to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico in September?"
HOOVER: "No, there's one angle that's very confusing for this reason. We have up here the tape and the photograph of the man at the Soviet Embassy, using Oswald's name. That picture and the tape do not correspond to this man's voice, nor to his appearance. In other words, it seems that there was a second person who was at the Soviet Embassy."
50. The city police, working with the Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said last night that they had the case against Oswald "cinched."
After some 30 hours of intermittent interrogations and confrontations with scores of witnesses, Oswald was ordered transferred to the custody of the Dallas County sheriff.
This was preliminary to the planned presentation of the case, next Wednesday or the following Monday, to the county grand jury by District Attorney Wade.
The transfer involved a trip of about a mile from the uptown municipal building, where the Police Department and jail are. The route went down Main Street to the county jail, overlooking the spot where President Kennedy was killed and Gov. John B. Connally was wounded by shots from the book warehouse where Oswald worked.
51. The original plan had been for the sheriff to assume custody of Oswald at the city jail and handle the transfer. Late last night, for unspecified reasons, it was decided that the city police would move the prisoner.
Police Chief Jesse Curry declined to comment on suggestions that he had scheduled the transfer of Oswald at an unpropitious time because of pressure from news media.
Chief Curry announced about 9 o'clock last night that the investigation had reached a point where Oswald's presence was no longer needed. He said that Oswald would be turned over to the county sheriff today.
Asked when this would take place, the chief said: "If you fellows are here by 10 A.M., you'll be early enough."
When newsmen assembled at the police administrative offices at 10 o'clock, Chief Curry commented: "We could have done this earlier if I hadn't given you fellows that 10 o'clock time."
52. On Sunday morning, November 24, 1963, Oswald was being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail.
53. At about 11 o'clock, Chief Curry left his third-floor office, followed by plainclothes detectives and newsmen, to go to the basement. Oswald was still in a fourth-floor jail cell.
As the group with the chief walked through a short corridor past the basement booking office and out the door onto the guarded ramp, uniformed policemen checked the reporters' credentials. But they passed familiar faces, such as those of policemen and collaborating Secret Service and F.B.I. agents.
Ruby's face was familiar to many policemen who had encountered him at his two night clubs and in his frequent visits to the municipal building.
54. Captain Fritz, chief of the police homicide division, walked just ahead of him. Oswald was handcuffed, with a detective holding each arm and another following. On Oswald's right, in a light suit, was J. R. Leavelle and on his left, in a dark suit, L. C. Graves.
55. Suddenly, Jack Ruby, a local nightclub owner fired a pistol at Oswald at point-blank range. The event was broadcast on live television across the country.
56. As they turned right from the vestibule to start up the ramp, Ruby jumped forward from against the railing. There was a sudden loud noise that sounded like the explosion of a photographer's flashbulb. It was Ruby's revolver firing.
A momentary furor set in as Ruby was seized and hustled into the building. Policemen ran up the ramp in both directions to the street, followed by others with orders to seal off the building.
About five minutes elapsed before an ambulance could be rolled down the ramp to Oswald.
The ambulance, its siren sounding, was followed by police and press cars on the four-mile drive to the hospital.
The hospital's emergency department had been on the alert for possible injuries arising out of the projected transfer.
Oswald was moved almost immediately into an operating room, at the other end of the building from the one where President Kennedy was treated.
The bullet had entered Oswald's body just below his heart and had torn into most of the vital organs.
Dr. Tom Shires, the hospital's chief of surgery, who operated on Governor Connally Friday, took over the case. The gamut of emergency procedures--blood transfusion, fluid transfusion, breathing tube and chest drainage tube--was instituted immediately.
But Dr. Shires quickly reported through a hospital official that Oswald was in "extremely critical condition" and that surgery would take several hours.
57. Oswald was fatally shot on live television in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters by local nightclub owner Jack Ruby at 11:21 a.m.
58. Billy H. Combest, a detective who knew Jack Ruby personally said he shouted out when he first saw the gun, “Jack, you, son of a bitch, don’t do it!”
59. When wrestled to the ground by police, Ruby cried out, "I'm Jack Ruby, you all know me!"
60. Oswald's murder by Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963, was the first homicide caught on live television.
61. Back at the jail, Ruby was taken to the same fourth-floor cellblock where his victim had been the focus of attention the last two days.
Reports that filtered out about his preliminary remarks said that he had been impelled to kill President Kennedy's assassin by sympathy for Mrs. Kennedy. It was reported he did not want her to go through the ordeal of returning to Dallas for the trial of Oswald.
District Attorney Wade said yesterday he was sure the prosecution of Oswald could be carried out without the personal involvement of any members of the Kennedy family.
A half-dozen lawyers who have worked for Ruby converged on police headquarters in the next hour or two. They said they had been directed there by relatives and friends of Ruby and had not been called by Ruby himself.
One lawyer said that he had arranged for a hearing before a justice of the peace tomorrow morning to ask for Ruby's release on bail.
"He's a respectable citizen who's been here for years and certainly is entitled to bail," the lawyer said. "We'll make any amount of bail."
"He is a great admirer of President Kennedy," the lawyer said, "and police officers."
The last remark was an allusion to the fact that Oswald was accused of fatally shooting the Dallas patrolman after the President's assassination.
Ruby, the lawyer said, "is a very emotional man."
62. Ruby was arrested and convicted of Oswald's murder. But he won an appeal against his death sentence.
Jack Ruby said, "If you knew the truth, you'd be amazed."
When Jack Ruby was interrogated by police he wouldn’t say very much, but once in a while, he would give a clue to let everyone know who was behind the assassination of JFK. For example Jack Ruby's comment to reporters while being transferred to his prison cell. "When I mentioned about Adlai Stevenson, if he was vice-president there would never have been an assassination of our beloved President Kennedy." When asked to explain what he meant, Ruby replied, "Well the answer is the man in office now [Lyndon Johnson]." It's clear to me that Jack Ruby was laying the blame for JFK's murder on Lyndon Johnson.
Jack Ruby began to talk a little more in prison. He said: "Isn't it strange that Oswald should be fortunate enough to get a job at the Texas School Book Depository Building two weeks before... Only one person could have had that information, and that man was Johnson... because he is the one who was going to arrange the trip... The only one who gained by the shooting."
Jack Ruby told Chief Justice Earl Warren when he came to visit him in jail, that he wished his commission had “delved deeper into the situation… not to accept just circumstantial facts about my guilt or innocence, and would have questioned to find out the truth about me before he relinquished certain powers to these certain people… Consequently, a whole new form of government is going to take over our country and I know I won’t live to see you another time.”
What kind of government did Jack Ruby think was going to take over our country? Ruby wrote from his jail cell: "This man [LBJ] is a Nazi in the worst order... They will know that only one kind of people that would do such a thing, that would have to be Nazis, and that is who is in power in this country right now."
63. Everybody in Dallas knew that Jack Ruby was a Mafia hit man.
64. Madeleine Brown Lindon Johnson’s mistress said that Jack Ruby was the guy in Texas who knew everything that was going on. If you wanted to gamble, Ruby would fix it so that you would not be raided. If you wanted a contract out on someone, you could go to Jack Ruby and get anyone beat up or killed. You could call Jack Ruby and get anything you wanted, Prostitution, drugs, killing, whatever, he was the head guy. This is why they chose Ruby to killed Oswald, to keep him from telling everyone what he knew. As a result, many people started to suspect that the Mafia was involved in both the plot and the assassination of Kennedy.
65. A murder charge was filed against Ruby by Assistant District Attorney William F. Alexander, Justice of the Peace Pierce McBride ordered him held without bail.
66. District Attorney Henry Wade said he understood that the police were looking into the possibility that Oswald had been slain to prevent him from talking, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Wade said that so far no connection between Oswald and Ruby had been established.
67. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover said: "We at once notified the chief of police and he assured us Oswald would be given sufficient protection. This morning we called the chief of police again warning of the possibility of some effort against Oswald and again he assured us adequate protection would be given. However, this was not done."
68. “There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead. Last night we received a call in our Dallas office from a man talking in a calm voice and saying he was a member of a committee organized to kill Oswald,” Hoover wrote on November 24, 1963, two days after Kennedy was killed and just hours after nightclub owner Jack Ruby fatally shot Oswald in the basement of the Dallas police station.
69. Oswald was taken in a police ambulance to the Parkland Hospital, where President Kennedy died Friday. He died in surgery at 1:07 P.M., less than two hours after the shooting. The exact time Oswald was shot was not definitely established.
70. Oswald was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital, the same hospital where the president had died. Oswald died at 1:07 p.m; Oswald died at the same hospital as Kennedy, two days and seven minutes after the president. Dallas police chief Jesse Curry announced his death on a TV news broadcast.
71. Chief Curry called the second formal news conference of the last three days in the police headquarters basement assembly room at 1:30 P.M.
His face drawn, he said in a husky voice: "My statement will be very brief. Oswald expired at 1:07 P.M.
"We have arrested the man. He will be charged with murder. The suspect is Jack Rubenstein. He also goes by the name of Jack Ruby. That's all I have to say."
Sheriff Bill Decker commented that the police "did everything humanly possible" to protect Oswald, as he said they had in the case of President Kennedy.
"I don't think it would have made a bit of difference if Oswald had been transferred at night," he said. "If someone is determined to commit murder, it's almost impossible to stop him."
72. On November 24, 1963, was the day of Kennedy's procession in Washington, D.C. His flag-draped casket, pulled by six gray horses and accompanied by one riderless black horse, traveled from the White House to the Capitol Rotunda, where he lay in state for 21 hours; around 250,000 people paid their respects. Tens of thousands were turned away, some having waited throughout a near-freezing night in a line that stretched for more than 2 miles.
73. On November 24, 1963, at one of his first meetings with foreign policy advisers since becoming President, Lyndon Johnson rescinded President Kennedy's plans to withdraw soldiers from South Vietnam. According to McGeorge Bundy, the National Security Adviser, Johnson told the group, "I am not going to lose Vietnam. I am not going to be the President who saw Southeast Asia go the way China went." Johnson then issued a statement reaffirming the nation's commitment to support South Vietnam militarily and economically.
74. A CIA message sent on November 24, 1963 said an “important question” that remained unsolved was whether Oswald had planned to travel right away or return to the US and leave later.
The message said that although it appeared Oswald “was then thinking only about a peaceful change of residence to the Soviet Union, it is also possible that he was getting documented to make a quick escape after assassinating the president”.
75. Jackie Kennedy modeled her husband's funeral ceremonies after Abraham Lincoln's.
76. With help from Bobby Kennedy and Robert McNamara, Jackie chose the burial site at Arlington National Cemetery.
77. Kennedy was laid to rest on Monday, November 25, 1963, in Arlington National Cemetery during a funeral attended by heads of state and representatives from more than 100 countries. As many as 800 thousand people joined in mourning on the streets of Washington when his procession passed to the cemetery. An eternal flame was lit beside the grave.
78. Jackie requested an eternal flame be put by the grave.

After a Lutheran minister from Dallas reconsidered appearing for the service, the Reverend Louis Saunders appeared on behalf of the Fort Worth Council of Churches, telling newsmen, "We do not want it said a man can be buried in Fort Worth without a minister."

93. On November 25, 1963, the same day when Kennedy was buried, the Federal Reserve Bank issued "a no promise" money. It means, this money does not promise that they will pay in a legally valid currency, but this currency is a valid payment instrument.
President Johnson's first step was to overturn President Kennedy's decision and order the US Treasury to stop printing silver as well as withdraw silver from circulation to be destroyed.
In September 1964, a law was passed that required a 1964 date freeze for coins, so “1964”-dated silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars with 90% silver continued to be minted in 1965 and even into early 1966. In fact, more “1964” dated dimes and quarters were minted during 1965 than 1964.
On July 23, 1965, the US Senate voted 74 to 9 to pass the Coinage Act of 1965. The act eliminated silver from dimes and quarters, and reduced half dollars to only 40% silver.
President Lyndon B. Johnson remarked at the time: “If anybody has any idea of hoarding our silver coins, let me say this. Treasury has a lot of silver on hand, and it can be, and it will be used to keep the price of silver in line with its value in our present silver coin. There will be no profit in holding them out of circulation for the value of their silver content.”
In May 1968, it was reported that the Treasury had accumulated about 255 million ounces of silver in coins after pulling them out of circulation.
94. TV CBS, NBC, and ABC, for four consecutive days, from November 22 to 25, 1963, eliminated all program events and only broadcast news of JFK's relentless killing.
95. Total broadcast for 70 hours, Kennedy's assassination became the longest topic of news in the United States after 9/11.
96. After the JFK assassination, the Attorney General of Texas decided to look at the bigger picture the question of conspiracy, just as the Warren Commission was doing in Washington. At the time, the A.G. was a man named Waggoner Carr.
If Waggoner Carr was no legal scholar that’s not what the attorney general does but he wasn’t a bad lawyer either—a former speaker of the Texas House, a self-described “Connally Democrat,” Carr himself would later be charged by the FBI during the Sharpstown scandal and defend himself and be acquitted. For whatever reason—not the least of which may have been publicity—Waggoner Carr was not ready to hand over the case to federal prosecutors. Instead he hired two “special counsels” to help him find out what happened in Dallas. He called his investigation a “Texas Court of Inquiry.”
97. On November 26, four days after the shooting of the president, Attorney General Carr wrote in his journal, “I talked with Colonel Garrison on the phone”—Colonel Homer Garrison, founding Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the man who sat in the top cop’s chair in Austin for 30 years and was big daddy of the Rangers—“and asked him to determine who went to Mexico with Oswald at the time he was there from September 26 thru October 3, 1963. He was advised to check all points of entry on the border. Several hours later Colonel Garrison made a preliminary report stating that two blonde women and another man either went from Texas into Mexico with Oswald or came back with him and they would make a more complete report later.” In other words, they didn't know shit. But within a week after the assassination, the Rangers had checked all passengers on flights in and out of Dallas, determined that the same Jack Rubinstein who had previously been investigated by the Un-American Activities Committee was not the Jack Ruby who owned strip clubs in Dallas-Ft. Worth, and reported, according to Attorney General Carr’s notes, “Oswald did not have a telephone during this period of time and they cannot check his calls. They are still checking Ruby’s calls.” The follow up led to a correction from Colonel Garrison: “Oswald entered Mexico at Laredo crossing on September 26. His transportation is not known, and he entered Mexico alone. He returned from Mexico on October 3. He returned by private auto, apparently alone. His visa shows that he just went to the interior—no destination stated.”
98. J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI: "The thing I am concerned about, and so is Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."
99. Hoover wrote. He said, "Oswald wrote a letter to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, which the FBI intercepted, read and resealed. The letter had been addressed to the Soviet Embassy official 'in charge of assassinations and similar activities on the part of the Soviet government.' To have that drawn into a public hearing would muddy the waters internationally."
100. J. Edger Hoover who had previously wired taped the Russian embassy discovered that the Russians knew all about Johnson and their successful "coup d'état."
