Presidency of John F. Kennedy killed Oswald due to his own grief over Kennedy's death, but the assassination of Kennedy and the death of Oswald gave rise to enormous speculation that Kennedy had been the victim of a conspiracy. Kennedy was succeeded as president by Lyndon Johnson, who stated on November 27 that "no memorial or oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of a civil rights bill for which he fought so long." President Johnson created the Warren Commission—chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren—to investigate the assassination. The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone in
Royal Commission on the Press to the importance, in the public interest, of the accurate presentation of news and the free expression of opinion." This Commission was not concerned with the performance of the Press or with general ethical questions. The members of the commission were appointed by Royal Warrant on 4 March 1961. Lord Shawcross was appointed chairman. The main archive for the Commission is The National Archives. The final report of the Commission was presented to Parliament on 5 September 1962 as a command paper (Cmnd 1811) and the minutes of oral and written evidence are published as Command Papers 1812 and 1812-1
