In 1975 the Church Committee (CC) was formed and tasked with the responsibility of examining the performance of the United States' Intelligence community in a number of areas. In essence, it was an evaluation of these agencies to see if they had crossed the lines in terms of what their intended missions were meant to be.
Part of this oversight included the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK). Specifically, how the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) handled the assassination.
In this post we will look at some of the activities of the accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) in New Orleans, Louisiana, to see what the CC wrote about this issue. Here is what the CC wrote about his activities.

The New Orleans office learned on August 22, 1963, that Oswald participated in a radio program where he stated he was a Marxist and that "Cuba is the only real revolutionary country in the world today."
On August 23, 1963, the New Orleans office was instructed by Headquarters to "submit results of their Oswald investigation to the Bureau."
On August 24, 1963, the New Orleans office advised the Bureau that the investigation was continuing and a report detailing the investigative findings would be furnished." An investigative report was subsequently sent to the Bureau on October 31, 1963, but it did not contain any significant information that was not already in Oswald's Headquarters file.
The report reveals that only two informants in the New Orleans area were asked about Oswald and that neither had heard of him. (Church Committee Report, Book V, p. 91)

Keep in mind when you read this that the Warren Commission (WC) said that Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) was a loner, and yet, we see a FBI agent rushing to meet with him after his arrest on August 9, 1963, and we see all this activity. Notice it says that LHO went on the radio on August 22 - and on the very NEXT day FBI headquarters was ordering them to submit their "Oswald investigation" to them. What caused this investigation of LHO? Was it the arrest or his appearance on the radio? Furthermore, why was a "loner" causing the FBI to investigate him in the first place?
On August 10, 1963, Special Agent John Quigley ment with LHO after he requested to speak with the FBI. Remember, LHO was arrested for just "disturbing the peace by creating a scene" which is a very minor charge. Why would he need to speak with the FBI and why would the FBI send an agent on a Saturday morning to meet with him and conduct a lengthy interview? What am I missing here if LHO was just a loner as claimed?
This event or the radio appearance caused an investigation of LHO. Why? Notice too that when the report was finally furnished on October 31, 1963, it contained what the FBI headquarters already had on LHO in their file. Also notice that the New Orleans FBI office only bothered to talk with two of its informants about LHO. Why would they limit their investigation to just two informants? Moreover, what information was already in the file at headquarters? It would be nice to know this.
The CC then makes this statement that we know is false.

…Thus, despite the fact that both the Dallas and the New Orleans field offices were aware that Oswald had been in contact with the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City, there is no evidence that either of these field offices intensified their "efforts" to locate and interview Oswald. Most surprising, however, is that the "Soviet Experts" at FBI Headquarters did not did not intensify their efforts in the Oswald case after being informed that Oswald had met with Vice Consul Kostikov at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. Not only were these experts familiar with Soviet activities in general, but they knew that Kostikov was a member of the KGB. Further, the Bureau's Soviet experts had reason to believe he was an agent within the KGB's Department which carries out assassination and sabotage. They were aslo aware that American citizen contacts with the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City were extremely rare. Ironically [or not], the teletype which informed the Bureau of Oswald's Mexico City activities was sitting on a pile of documents on a Headquarters supervisor's desk awaiting initial action on November 22, 1963. (Ibid., p. 92)

If you know this case, and the evidence, then all of this makes sense. LHO was NEVER in Mexico City according to the evidence, therefore, he never met with Valery Kostikov. IF he had gone and met with Kostikov this would be dereliction of duty by the FBI, but IF he did not go, and he didn't, then it makes sense why the FBI did nothing with this information. How would you investigate an event that never occurred? What is odd is that the CC just assumed the WC was correct on this issue when their own evidence showed they were incorrect.
This sums each of these "investigations" perfectly. They each uncovered things that showed a conspiracy was involved, but at the end of the day they all went for the most part with the official conclusion of the WC. The one major exception is that the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) stated that it was probably a conspiracy, but this was done last minute, and has been buried by the media, academia and the government for decades. Most Americans think the WC's conclusion is the only one.
