The Warren Commission investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, examining testimony from Governor John B. Connally Jr., Kenneth O’Donnell, and multiple Secret Service agents including Roy H. Kellerman, James J. Rowley, and Winston G. Lawson. The investigation reviewed documentary evidence including Commission Exhibits 707, 768, 769, 770, 1022, and others to reconstruct the events of November 22, 1963.
