The Sealed Report
In this world, the report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy — popularly called the Warren Commission — was completed in September 1964 but never released to the public, retained instead under a standing national security classification renewed by every subsequent administration. In the absence of an official account, the public record of the assassination was built entirely out of leaks, private investigations, congressional hearings, and lawsuits over the following six decades.

The withheld report has become less a document than an institution, studied through its absence, cited in constitutional law courses as the primary modern test case for the limits of executive secrecy.
