major item: Assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy

to 22. November 1963 became a president John F. Kennedy against 12.30 o'clock to the Dealey Plaza, a place in Dallas, Texas murders. Few hours after the assassination attempt becamethe suspicious Lee Harvey Oswald of the public presented and two days later in Polizeigewahrsam of the cancer-ill Jack Ruby shot, before it could come to an accusation or a court process. Kennedy was buried at the national cemetery Arlington.

At the funeral servicefor Kennedy to 25. November 1963 participated according to an estimation the New York Time one knappe million humans.

President Lyndon B. set four days after the assassination attempt. Johnson (before vice-president, was sworn in few hours after the assassination attempt as a president)the Warren commission in such a way specified, those the circumstances of the assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy to clear up should. The commission came one year later to the conclusion that Oswald was the exclusive author and it did not give conspiracy for murder to Kennedys.Further investigations resulted in however that the national organs FBI, CIA and Secret service information before the Warren commission kept secret, which could possibly have led to another result. Also it is strongly doubted that the Warren commission at all interestat the clearing-up of the assassination attempt had, there its members on the various national institutions dependent and/or. even their members were.
