→Warren Commission
==Warren Commission==
==Warren Commission==
In November 1963 President Johnson demanded in the name of patriotic duty that Warren head the governmental commission that investigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It became widely known as the [[Warren Commission]]. It was an unhappy experience for Warren, who did not want the assignment. As a judge, he valued candor and justice, but as a politician he recognized the need for secrecy in some matters. He insisted that the commission report should be unanimous, and so he compromised on a number of issues in order to get all the members to sign the final version. However, contrary to the general "single bullet theory" that appears to be reputable, documents show that [[Gerald Ford]] had changed autopsy reports in order for the narrative to fit as he intended.<ref>[http://www.jfklancer.com/Ford-Rankin.html JFK Lancer: Gerald Ford's Terrible Fiction]</ref> The initial draft had stated "back at a point slightly above the shoulder to the right of the spine" though Ford changed it to "back of his neck slightly to the right of the spine". Warren, siding with Ford, concurred with the single bullet theory.
