Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Allegations of Oswald-Cuban Conspiracy

Allegations of Oswald-Cuban Conspiracy The Commission investigated dozens of allegations of a conspiratorial relationship between Oswald and the Cuban government, including claims that Oswald made a prior early September 1963 trip to Mexico City to receive assassination funds and orders, was flown to a secret airfield in or near the Yucatan Peninsula, met with a U.S. communist in Mexico City shortly before the assassination, and was paid $7,000 by a Cuban agent to kill the President. Other allegations included a claim that Fidel Castro referenced a prior secret trip by Oswald to Cuba in a speech delivered 5 days after the assassination, and a letter from someone in Cuba alleging the assassination was part of a plot to kill other non-Communist leaders in the Americas. No credible evidence supporting these conspiracy claims was found.

Conspiracy rumors of foreign ties to Oswald

This section outlines the range of unsubstantiated conspiracy rumors alleging foreign connections to Oswald in the JFK assassination. These include claims that anti-Castro groups killed the President as part of a bargain to receive illicit firearms from criminal organizations, that Oswald was active in pro-Cuban activities in Miami, Florida at various points, that Chinese Communists operated jointly with Cubans to carry out the assassination, that Oswald met with the Cuban Ambassador in a Mexico City restaurant and drove off with him for a private discussion, and that Fidel Castro requested files on Oswald’s dealings with two Cuban diplomatic mission members in the Soviet Union two days after the assassination, implying a secret ongoing subversive relationship. All these allegations were proven to have no factual foundation.
