The Warren Commission's Report on the assassination of Warren Commission testimony - Selected Excerpts President Kennedy focused attention on the magnitude of the problem involved in the protection of the Chief Executive. As you know, it is our responsibility, overseas and in headquarters, to render every support possible to the Secret Service in the conduct of its statutory responsibilities in the United States, and especially when the President travels abroad. 2. The circumstances confronting the Warren Commission produced discussion and testimony on various aspects of the Problem of President protection and on interagency operational cooperation, which normally do not find their way to the public domain. These include the acquisition and dissemination of information, consultation, consequences, and the investigation of information. I believe you will be interested in the attached extranchanges.
