Details: In 1992, Congress signed the Act mandating federal C) ' agencies to release all documents concerning the presidential assassination or information related by conspiracy theory to the assassination. The Act narrowly defined the types of information that agencies could still protect by postponement until the year 2017. The Act also established the Board as a separate entity to oversee the release of material from federal agencies to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Beyond the Board's oversight responsibilities, the Act charged the Board with the duties of reviewing agencies' proposed postponements with the agencies' evidence for approval or denial and researching additional areas of information for any new material related to the assassination. The FBI has been working with the Board since its inception to meet he NG SO § bP S—"3.132 On November 29, 1996, the eles wrote a letter to th FBI setting forth a formal compliance program. The letter -requested the FBI's cooperation with the Board ‘in discharging its responsibility of assuring Congress and the American people that the goals of the JFK Act will be accomplished to the greatest reasonable extent.” The compliance program is the Board's answer to demonstrating “to the American public that a thorough, good-faith, and diligent effort has been made to locate and release all remaining assassination-related records within the control of the United States government (and that the Government is not hiding any such materials from public disclosure).” With this philosophy in mind, the Board has (> forwarded letters to the FBI requesting additional information for their review and possible inclusion in the JFK collection.

Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 19927 (44 USC 2107 Hote). DATE: © 11- 14-2017 OC C) To: Dallas From: Office of Public and Congressional Affairs Re: 62C-HQ-1029205, 04/30/1998 ‘On 03/19/97, the JFKTF received a letter from the Board requesting Dallas field office informant files. The JFKTF sent an EC dated 04/01/97 requesting Dallas files 176-PCI and 137- 1292. The records of the JFKTF show no documentation that these files were sent to HQ or were not located at Dallas. The JFKTF therefore requests that Dallas conduct a search of its office for these files and forward the documents, if located, to the JFKTF. The original documents are necessary to meet the requirements of the Act. Should. the Board determine the documents to be assassination records the originals will eventually be transferred to NARA. Therefore, any responsive documents should be copied before forwarding to the JFKTF. If the Board decides the documents do not fall within the realm of the Act, the documents will be returned to your office, but not until the Board completes this project. Dallas should respond even if the search is negative. The response is important for the FBI's compliance with the Act. If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Lamey at (202) 324-6185.
