Revisiting The Warren Commission
(Duration 43:36)
The Honorable Arlen Specter, a United States Senator from Pennsylvania, rose to national prominence in 1964 as junior counsel to the Warren Commission and author of the “single bullet theory” affirming that one gunman shot JFK. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and, a Yale Law School Journal editor, Specter was the first
Republican elected to public office in Philadelphia in more than a decade when he became district attorney. He wrote the Armed Career Criminal Act, praised for its long prison terms for recidivists, and, the Terrorist Prosecution Act allowing criminal actions in U.S. courts for assaulting, maiming or murdering Americans anywhere in the world. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, his bill created the Inspector General post of the Central Intelligence Agency. He has been instrumental in promoting Pennsylvania’s interests in agriculture, high-tech, steel, coal, tourism, mass transit, highways and military installations.
