Federal Criminalization of Presidential and Vice-Presidential Assassination
The Commission recommends that Congress adopt legislation making the assassination of the President and Vice President a federal crime. The Commission observes that the absence of clearly defined federal jurisdiction to investigate the assassination of a President represents an anomalous state of affairs.
Regulations for Handling Returned Disloyal Defectors
The Commission has reviewed the Department of State’s handling of the Oswald matters and finds that it complied with the law throughout. Nevertheless, the Commission believes that the Department, in accordance with its own regulations, should in all cases exercise great care in returning to this country defectors who have evidenced disloyalty or hostility to the United States or who have expressed a desire to renounce their American citizenship. When such persons are returned, procedures should be adopted to ensure the better dissemination of information concerning them to the relevant intelligence agencies of the Government.
Establishment of Ethical Information Collection and Presentation Standards
The Commission recommends that representatives of the bar, law enforcement associations, and the news media collaborate to establish ethical standards concerning the collection and presentation of information to the public. The purpose of these standards is to prevent interference with pending criminal investigations, court proceedings, or the right of individuals to a fair trial.
