Title:

John F. Kennedy Records Collection Act

of 1992 (the Act)

Synopsis: The Act established the Assassination Records Review

Board (ARRB) to oversee the governments' production and

compliance with the Act.

The ARRE reviews the proposed

postponements in documents sent by each agency to the National

Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and decides what

postponements the Act allows or opens the document in full.

The

ARRB's responsibilities include having agencies search other

subjects and areas to find any additional material not already

identified as assassination records.

The establishment of the

ARRB by the Act also limited the time for their duties to be

accomplished.

The ARRB must complete their tasks by September

1997.

With this deadline in mind, the ARRB sent a letter

requesting additional information.

Enclosures:

ARRB letter requesting material.

Details:

On March 10, 1997, the ARRB sent a letter to the FBI

setting forth a formal

request to receive and review additional

records. The ARRB's goal is to research every possible subject

that may have a bearing on assassination theories and to assure

i have a bear aga

Congress and the American public that all was done to accomplish

the intentions of the Act.

New Orleans

should conduct a search of its office for

the listed items. If New Orleans is aware of any administrative

records they may have maintained outside the normal index system,

they should include those areas in the search. If any documents

related to the matters are found, please forward the documents to

the JFK Task Force.

ENCLOSUR:

Pursuant to the Act, any material categorized as an

assassination record must be sent to the NARA in its original

form.

The Act established the process of handling the documents

and the FBI must follow the Act. If New Orleans needs a copy,

they should copy the documents or material before sending to the

workpaper
