Kennedy Records Collection Act of 1992 (the Act) Synopsis: The JFK Task Force requests each Headquarters Division or Office to search their offices, storage areas, or archived files for any documents or information related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Details: In 1992, Congress signed the Act mandating federal 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 Assassination Records Review Board (the Board) as a separate entity to oversee the release of material from the 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 their evidence for approval or denial and researching additional areas of information for new material related to the assassination. The FBI has been working with the Board since its inception to meet the requirements of the Act. On November 29, 1996, the Board wrote a letter to the 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 have 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 JFK Task Force met with the Board's FBI staff researchers on January 15, 1997, to clarify the Board's expectations of the FBI. Fi} Docld: 32321863 Page 2? NS
