ABC
Good Night America: Season 2; #15
Episode: Bermuda Triangle, Who really killed JFK
Air Date: March 3rd, 1975

This was the fist time the infamous Zapruder film--showing JFK's assassination and an obvious 'back and to the left' head movement--was shown to the public.

The pubic outrage that followed contributed to the creation of the Hart-Scchweiker investigation, which contributed to the Church Committee investigation on Intelligence Activities by the United States, and resulted in the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

Books about the Church Committee:
* A Season of Inquiry by Loch Johnson
* The Last Honest Man by James Risden
