V. EVALUATION OF THE FBI REPORT
Although the Committee agrees with the "Findings" in the November 19,
1980, FBI reports, it disagrees with one of the arguments used to justify
the Findings. It considers invalid the criticism of the WA report on the
basis of the high value of the binary correlation coefficient found by the
FBI for a match between the supposed grassy knoll shot and one of the
recorded gunshots in the unrelated later shootings at Greensboro, North
Carolina. Although the FBI obtained a high value of the correlation
coefficient, that value was not nearly so significant as the one obtained
by WA, which involved many more "time windows" (90 windows were used
although this number was erroneously reported as 45 on page 76 of the BRSW
report) and 39 Greensboro shots were available from which the most
favorable could be selected. Although the Committee considers this
particular FBI argument against the BRSW/WA report to be invalid, the
Committee, for the reasons discussed in this report, agrees with the FBI
conclusions.
