Oswald fired shots which killed the President and wounded then Texas Gov John Connally from a sixth-floor window in the Texas School Book Depository But not even all of the commission members agreed In 1970 the late Sen Richard Russell (D-Ga) told a radio interviewer think that someone else worked with him Sen Russell said that it was he who insisted that a disclaimer sentence be added to the report stating that if either Oswald or killer Jack Ruby had any help the commission had no evidence of it A CBS television interview with former President Johnson was edited last year for reasons Unconfirmed published reports stated that the deleted material dealt with doubts that Oswald acted alone of the commission people will discuss this matter at all Fensterwald added even get to see
