You've referenced the wrong executive session. On January 22, 1964 a discussion was held of rumours that Oswald was a paid FBI informant ; which included lead staff lawyer Rankin stating that "I am confident that the FBI would never admit it, and I presume their records will never show it".

Rankin later adds: "…if that were true and it ever came out and could be established, then you would have people think that there was a conspiracy to accomplish this assassination that nothing the Commission did or anybody could dissipate."

By the way, Chief Warren's "pragmatic" example resulted from LBJ's strong-arming him into the job, by exactly a scenario of nuclear war and forty million dead. The "set of conspiracy theories" blaming foreign governments was the Mexico City transcripts pulled from CIA files the day of the assassination linking Oswald to the KGB's Western Hemisphere so-called "assassination expert". But the Oswald in the transcripts was an imposter - as J Edgar Hoover knew and so informed LBJ. But LBJ did not tell Warren of the impersonation. The conspiracy theories originated with the CIA's Mexico City station, and relied on an Oswald impersonator.
