The Ditty Committee

The President's Committee on the Assassination of musical integrity, known unofficially as The Ditty Committee, was established on November 27, 1963, by Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the crimes against melody committed on November 22, 1963. Its 9 song final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964, and made public three days later. The Committee's findings have since proven controversial and been both challenged and supported by later studies.
