Eugene Rostow, Dean of the Law School at Yale University, was the first to suggest a commission to William Moyers, Press Secretary to President Johnson, on Sunday, November 24,
1963, shortly after the death of Lee Harvey Oswald. He recommended that the commission
"be bi-partisan and above politics - no Supreme Court justices but people like Tom Dewey and Bill Story from Texas and so on. A commission of seven or nine people, maybe Nixon,
I don't know, to look into the whole affair of the murder of the President because world opinion and American opinion is just now so shaken by the behavior of the Dallas Police that
they're not believing anything."
Rostow also relayed the same message to Walter Jenkins, aide to Johnson, and before Moyers and Jenkins, he had spoken with Nicholas Katzenbach, Acting Attorney General.
Johnson was not receptive to the idea of a commission at this point. On the morning of the 25th Johnson received a call from Joseph Alsop, newspaper columnist. Alsop began a flattering, cajoling conversation leading toward formation of a commission, which Johnson resisted. Alsop advised him to speak with Dean Acheson, who may have had the most influence on him, and to Dean Rusk, Secretary of State. Other early supporters of the idea of a commission were Alfred Friendly and Katherine Graham of the Washington Post newspaper, and Russell Wiggins.
Johnson had conversations with J. Edgar Hoover, who was opposed to the idea of a commission, and with many others. On Thursday, November 28, Johnson had been transformed to approve the idea of a commission and he called Senator James Eastland to ask him to shut down his Committree to investigate the assassination, and he did the same for the House of Representatives committee.
On Friday evening Johnson announced the composition of the Commission, generally called the Warren Commission, but Donald Gibson would have named it the Rostow Commission or the McCloy-Dulles Commission because Allen Dulles and John McCloy dominated it. Both were strongly linked to Wall Street elements. Dulles had been fired by Kennedy from his position as Director of the CIA. McCloy was David Rockefeller's lawyer and former High Commissioner of Germany during the Nurenberg Trials, allowing many Nazis to be set free.

Quote:Donald Gibson suggests it was Dean Acheson who prompted the commission. Acheson's daughter was married to William Bundy. William and McGeorge were likely Dulles operatives.
