The Warren Commission designed to investigate the Kennedy event started in November 1963 and ended in November 1964, with a multi-volume report. The Warren Commission Report was supposed to have been unavailable to the public for 75 years, up till the year 2039.
However, in 1966 the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was made law, allowing the public to read it. Warren Commission - Wikipedia
Commission recordsEdit
In November 1964, two months after the publication of its 889-page report, the Commission published twenty-six volumes of supporting documents, including the testimony or depositions of 552 witnesses and more than 3,100 exhibits.[17] All of the commission's records were then transferred on November 23 to the National Archives. The unpublished portion of those records was initially sealed for 75 years (to 2039) under a general National Archives policy that applied to all federal investigations by the executive branch of government,[18] a period "intended to serve as protection for innocent persons who could otherwise be damaged because of their relationship with participants in the case.”[19] The 75-year rule no longer exists, supplanted by the Freedom of Information Act of 1966 and the JFK Records Act of 1992. By 1992, 98 percent of the Warren Commission records had been released to the public.[20]Six years later, at the conclusion of the Assassination Records Review Board's work, all Warren Commission records, except those records that contained tax return information, were available to the public with redactions.[21] The remaining Kennedy assassination related documents are scheduled to be released to the public by October 26, 2017,[22] twenty-five years after the passage of the JFK Records Act.[23]

In 1967, this happened:
"Conspiracy Theorists" ... to Attack Anyone Who Challenges the "Official" Narrative | Zero Hedge
So basically, the Warren Commission Report was forced open by the FOIA legislation in 1966.....the term "conspiracy theory/ist" was conjured/coined in 1967 in response to Joe/Jane Citizen, journalists, investigators, etc that questioned the official narrative of the Warren Commission Report.
