In 1975 the United States Congress set up a committee to look into both the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) and the intelligence agencies to see if a more thorough investigation was needed as much of the country did not accept the conclusion of the Warren Commission (WC). This committee was named after the Senator who would chair it -- Frank Church -- and became known as the Church Committee (CC).
They would uncover some unsavory things and important information regarding the WC's operation and "investigation" into JFK's murder and this would lead to the founding of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1976. Unfortunately, the HSCA would run into the same issues with the intelligence agencies that the WC did twelve years before.
The CC would write this about the WC and the intelligence agencies early in their report.

...At the outset of its investigation, the Select Committee had evidence that the Warren Commission was not given information about CIA attempts to assassinate foreign leaders. As the Select Committee later discovered, the Warren Commission was also unaware of the full extent of the agencies' involvement in operations directed against Cuba. (CC Book V, p. 9)

This shows the reader how incomplete the WC's "investigation" was in 1964. How can you explore all the possible options when you aren't given the full information by the very agencies you are counting on and of course looking at only one possible option -- Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) did it all by himself?
This is vital information not to share with the WC as it shows that a number of other countries, with far more resources, would have a motive to remove the United States' leader. Needless to say, I am not naive enough to think the WC would have done anything with this information despite some of them later telling the HSCA that it would have changed some of their "investigation" in some fashion as they were not allowed to do anything, but rubber stamp the report by J. Edgar Hoover (JEH). The importance of this information is to show the reader what a fraud the WC was, and this is only necessary IF their real job was to cover up the true nature of the assassination.
IF LHO really acted all alone as claimed, there would have been no need or desire to do things like this. We expect the intelligence agencies to withhold information. That is their nature. The WC should have been finding this kind of information out for themselves, but refused to employ independent investigators which allowed their "investigation" to be controlled from the very beginning.
The CC breaks down the opposition to Cuban Premier Fidel Castro as being Cubans who had fled the island country who hated Castro; Americans who feared a Communist country so close to the American shores; business assets that had been booted from the country, and parts of the underworld who had been expelled as well. The realistic outlook was that the business and underworld groups were stoking the fires to rile up the other groups as they wanted back in. (Ibid.)
Outside of the very small anti-Castro Cuban exile groups hardly anyone really cared about what happened in Cuba. As usual, the rich and powerful manipulated the masses to stir up anger and hatred that would benefit what they wanted to happen, which was to get back into Cuba and depose Castro.
This program was supported by and promoted by the United States Government. In particular, the intelligence agencies were leading the charge as they also wanted back into Cuba as there was a lot of black money to be made there and perhaps to get payback on Castro as some have posited that he was working with the CIA when he overthrew the Batista government and then double crossed them once he was in power. To me, this would explain their obsession with getting him out of office and possibly dead.
The CC proved in many ways that the WC was not a serious search for the truth whether that was their intention or not. This is why the HSCA was set up to do a more thorough investigation into this topic, but just as the WC was thwarted by the intelligence agencies so was the HSCA.
