The report alleged McCone withheld information related to CIA plots to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro, including some efforts that involved organized crime. There have been claims through the years that Kennedy's murder was ordered by the Cuban government, but the commission didn't follow that lead and McCone didn't reveal any suspicions about a possible connection.

"If the commission did not know to ask about covert operations about Cuba, he was not going to give them any suggestions about where to look," the CIA report notes.

Other tidbits of information in the report include evidence the CIA had been in communication with Oswald before 1963 and that it had been monitoring his mail since 1959.

McCone's actions, according to the report, was based partly on the (Lyndon Johnson administration's) "interest in avoiding disclosures about covert actions that would circumstantially implicate (the) CIA in conspiracy theories and possibly lead to calls for a tough US response against the perpetrators of the assassination," the article states.
