In 1954 he was the only New England senator to approve an extension of President Eisenhower’s reciprocal-trade powers, and he vigorously backed the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway, despite the fact that over a period of 20 years no Massachusetts senator or congressman had ever voted for it.
Kennedy himself disapproved of McCarthy, but, as he once observed, “Half my people in Massachusetts look on McCarthy as a hero.” Yet, on the Senate vote over condemnation of McCarthy’s conduct (1954), Kennedy expected to vote against him.
One theory that the committee investigated was popularly known as the “Second Oswald.” Lee Harvey Oswald, the man charged with killing Kennedy, defected to Russia in 1959.
Oswald returned to the United States with a wife and daughter in 1962, and after the assassination some speculated that the man who returned was really a Soviet, sent to impersonate Oswald and kill Kennedy.
He also returned to active command at his own request. (These events were later depicted in a Hollywood film, PT 109 [1963], that contributed to the Kennedy mystique.) However, the further injury to his back, which had bothered him since his teens, never really healed.
So in 1976 the House created the Select Committee on Assassinations to examine various conspiracy theories and to determine if laws that protected the President were adequate and whether information sharing between agencies had been transparent.
