Title: John F. Kennedy Records Collection

Act of 1992 (the Act)

Synopsis: The JFK Task Force requests each Field Office to

conduct a new indices search for any

additional information

related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination that may

have been placed on record since the previous search, and to

search their offices,

storage areas, or archived files for any

documents or information related to President John F. Kennedy's

assassination.

Dallas,

Chicago,

New Orleans and Miami are

requested to

include RAs in their search for records.

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

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

wter the Boara

, since its inception to meet

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.

At this meeting the Board explained that part of their

mission is to provide a thorough explanation of the FBI's records

system, indices, definitions of documents, searches requested,

and responses of the searches.

The FBI wrote and sent an initial

compliance letter in June 1997 that defined the FBI's records

system and all the tasks performed to date. Even with this

letter, the Board believes that although the FBI searched the

Central Records System (CRS) and requested the field offices to

search their indices for documents related to the assassination,

Also, additional

assassination related information may have been placed on record

since previous searches of field office indices were conducted.

Separate searches should be conducted regarding each of

the following core and related subjects:

John F. Kennedy Assassination

Lee Harvey Oswald

Jack Ruby (aka Jacob Rubenstein)

Marguerite Oswald

Marina Oswald

Michael Paine

Ruth Paine

George DeMorenschildt

David Ferrie
