There are too many conditions that only someone on the inside could manage, for example, the motorcade route was changed to pass directly in front of the Texas School Book Depository.



They didn't have to turn right (west) on Houston and then a left turn and a half (south, southeast) down Elm. They could've continued straight, south on Main Street, and still gotten to where they wanted to go.

LBJ Phone Calls - November 1963

This set of transcripts, along with selected audio recordings, were made during the November days immediately following the assassination of President Kennedy. Some of them concern the formation of the so-called "Warren Commission", which was formally announced on November 29, 1963.

A few phone calls with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover discuss the early results of FBI investigations into the death of President Kennedy. Ths first of these, recorded at 10:01 AM on November 23, less than 24 hours after the assassination, appears to have been erased. A transcript survived the apparent erasure--in it, Hoover tells Johnson that tapes of Oswald contacting the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City don't match the voice of the living Oswald. Hoover says "it appears that there is a second person who was at the Soviet Embassy down there."
