Kennedy Records Collection ' Act of 1992 (the Act) Synopsis: The JFK Task Force (JFKTF) requests Chicago to search for records and forward records to the JFKTF. Enclosure: ARRB letter requesting material; copy of EC forwarded to Chicago on 3/24/1998 and attachments. C) 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 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 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 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 CO) disclosure).” With this philosophy in mind, the Board has forwarded letters to the FBI requesting additional information Docld:32322085 Page 2?
Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC 2107 Hotel. DATE: 11-14-2017 @ . ; OC To: Chicago From: Office of Public and Congressional Affairs Re: 62C-HQ-1029205, 06/16/1998 for their review and possible inclusion in the JFK collection. | On March 23, 1998, the JFKTF received a letter from the Board requesting field files from Chicago regarding Harry Dean. By EC dated 03/24/1998, the JFKTF requested Chicago to search for files and references to Harry Dean and to forward any responsive documents to the JFKTF. Records of the JFKTF do not indicate a response from Chicago. 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. Chicago 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.
