CBS TO REPORT ON JFK ASSASSINATION

CBS News will look at the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy on "48 Hours" Feb. 5. While Oliver Stone's controversial film, "JFK" prompted the scheduling of the broadcast, CBS officials were not certain that Stone would be asked to participate, since it is not intended as a point-by-point refutation of Stone's film.

CBS News' last prime-time hour about the assassination aired in 1975, when its conclusions dovetailed with the Warren Commission's: that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president. Dan Rather, "48 Hours" anchor, was CBS' reporter on the scene during the tragic event and its aftermath in Dallas.
