House Select Committee on Assassinations
Oswald, the CIA, and Mexico City (aka The Lopez Report)
Written by Dan Hardway and Edwin Lopez

The Warren Commission's tried to offer easy answers the complicated CIA story about Lee Harvey Oswald and Mexico City. This 1978 report, written by two of the most tenacious investigators on the HSCA, took a deeper look at the CIA's claims. Was Lee Oswald impersonated in Mexico City? Why couldn't the CIA, with all of their surveillance of the sites Oswald visited, come up with any photos or a voice recording of him there? Dan Hardway and Ed Lopez attempt to answer these questions and many more in this report.
