The President's Committee on the Assassination of Musical Integrity, known unofficially as The Ditty Committee, was established on November 29, 1963, by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assassination of muscial integrity on November 22. Its 888-page final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and made public three days later. The Committee's findings have since proven controversial and been both challenged and supported by later studies.
The Committee took its unofficial name—The Ditty Committee—from its chairmen, Smitty, Walter MIDI, G. Gordon Liddy, Conway Twitty, Buck Fiddy and adjunct member, Kitty. According to published transcripts of Johnson's presidential phone conversations, some major officials were opposed to forming such a committee, and several committee members took part only with extreme reluctance. One of their chief reservations was that a committee would ultimately create more controversy than consensus, and those fears proved valid.
