Transcriber’s Notes
Inconsistent punctuation and spelling were not changed.
Typographical errors were not corrected except as noted below. Some uncorrected errors are noted below. Unbalanced quotation marks and parentheses were corrected when the correct positions were apparent. Two apparently extraneous, unmatched quotation marks were deleted, and two unmatched closing parentheses were retained.
Spelling was not systematically checked.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.
Index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
The Exhibit numbers in some illustration captions have been moved to precede the descriptions.

Other volumes from the Warren Commission investigation contain Hearings and Testimony. They are available at no charge at Project Gutenberg and links to them are listed below. The Witnesses List in [Appendix V] contains links to specific pages in these eBooks. All of these links should work with Browsers but are "external links", which were not supported by most eReaders when this eBook was prepared in 2018. When using a Browser, the first time an external link to a specific page is clicked, it may lead only to the eBook's main page at Project Gutenberg, rather than to the selected page within the book. Subsequent clicks of external links should lead directly to the selected pages. If you are using an eReader that does not support external links, you can copy the links below into a Browser.
