The sole acoustic evidence relied on by the committee to support its theory of a fourth gunshot (and a gunman on the grassy knoll) was a Dictabelt recording alleged to be from a stuck transmitter on a police motorcycle in Dealey Plaza during the assassination.
On the King assassination, the Committee concluded in its report that he was killed by one rifle shot from James Earl Ray, that "there is a likelihood" that this was the result of a conspiracy, and that no U.S. government agency was part of this conspiracy.

 House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA)
With the public airing of the Zapruder home movie of the JFK assassination showing Kennedy reacting to an apparent shot from the front, there were calls for reinvestigation of this and other political assassinations of the 1960s.
In 1976, the House Select Committee on Assassinations undertook reinvestigations of the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the JFK case, the HSCA found that there was a "probable conspiracy," though it was unable to determine the nature of that conspiracy or its other participants (besides Oswald).

Garrison stated that he assumes that the Select Committee has learned of this unchallengeable power and has met with the same frustration that he did.

 HSCA Final Assassinations Report
The HSCA found a "probable conspiracy" in the JFK assassination, but was unable to determine its nature or participants (other than that Oswald was still deemed to have fired all the successful shots).
The release of the HSCA's internal files in the 1990s has certainly provided fodder for this view, including evidence of HSCA cover-ups in the area of the medical evidence and of Oswald's intelligence connections and his mysterious trip to Mexico City.
The voluminous files of the HSCA and the many depositions taken in the investigation are a fertile field for today's researchers.

 THE CONCLUSIONS AND RESEARCH OF THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS: WHOSE SIDE DO THEY FAVOR
Few assassination researchers would dispute the fact that the JFK assassination investigation of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) was much more thorough and comprehensive than the Warren Commission's investigation.
The HSCA noted that Echevarria was associated with Juan Francisco Blanco-Fernandez, military director of the anti-Castro group DRE, and that the arms deal was being financed through one Paulino Sierra Martinez by hoodlum elements in Chicago and elsewhere.
The committee said it suspected Phillips was lying when he denied knowing Veciana, given the fact that Veciana was a prominent figure in the anti-Castro Cuban exile community, and that Phillips was deeply involved in anti-Castro activities.

Lee Harvey Oswald was not a lone assassin responsible for the killing of JFK and the wounding of Governor Connally.
The House Select Committees admitted these facts about CIA plots and Jack Ruby, listed its suspects as Santo Trafficante, Carlos Marcello, Jimmy Hoffa, and the CIA-directed Cuban exiles, and then did nothing to follow up important leads developed by its own staff.
The House Select Committee on Assassinations ignored the Commission's failures, relying on the Commission's broken chain of rifle evidence.

In March 1997, HSCA Chairman Gonzales and Chief Counsel Sprague were forced out of the HSCA just as they were beginning to investigate the CIA and FBI connections to leads in News Orleans and Mexico City.

It is what one might call a non-answer, stating "that the committee will make every effort to tell the whole story to the American people." Seven years later (1985) it can be said that the committee did not make an effort to call the most important witnesses and therefore did not tell the whole story.
He says the committee cannot reveal the procedure of the investigation or the names of those persons who will be called to testify before the committee.
Novel had visited the HSCA during the days Richard A. Sprague was still there, but he had not mentioned being in Dealey Plaza or that the CIA had hired him to ruin Garrison.

The HSCA's interviews demonstrated a remarkable consistency between the Bethesda witnesses' claims to the Warren Commission, to authors, and to the HSCA.
That the HSCA's interpretations of its interviews with Bethesda witnesses are so at variance with what these people actually said suggests there may have been another reason the HSCA wished the documents to be publicly unavailable for 50 years.
Whatever the truth, the HSCA did no service to the truth by misrepresenting its own witnesses to dishonestly settle the still simmering controversy of where JFK's skull defect was.

What is left here on the record today should not be allowed because it is not correct, which is the implication that the autopsy doctors agree with their original drawings in 1963, which were made without the benefit of the X-rays and the photographs, that they had had done at the autopsy.
To the credit of the House Select Committee on Assassinations and Congressman Stokes, that committee did a superb job on the forensics of this case.
It was the work of that committee that had the two autopsy physicians change their mind, that they had been mistaken about the placement of the wound here, and that it is in fact correctly placed 4 inches higher.

 Source of the Shots in the Kennedy Assassination
Their willingness to acknowledge the large number of witnesses who heard shots from the Depository was a huge improvement on Thompson's tabulation.
The simple fact is that modern firearms don't emit large clouds of smoke that hang in the air, as Oliver Stone discovered when he was filming the movie "JFK." Failing to find a rifle that emitted the needed cloud of smoke, he had a special effects man blow smoke from a bellows.
In an attempt to correct the deficiencies of earlier tabulations, I enlisted several students in my class on the Kennedy assassination to go through the testimony with a "fine tooth comb." I then reviewed the assessments the students had made, and changed a handful that I thought to be inaccurate.

The Church Committee was one of the larger select committees formed by the Senate.
Years later, the Senate Intelligence Committee was to discover, from files voluntarily given to it by the CIA, that a select few of the Agency's top officers -- including Richard Bissell -- had in the spring of 1960 begun setting in motion, as an adjunct to the Bay of Pigs operation, plans to assassinate Castro.
