Please V. EVALUATION OF THE FBI REPORT 32 V. EVALUATION OF THE FBI REPORT Although the Committee agrees with the âFindingsâ in the November 19, 1980, FBI report4, 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 âtime windowsâ (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. use the print version of this publication as the authoritative version for attribution.
