Disclosure Act of 1992, the Central Intelligence Agency

(CIA) has declassified

assassination of President John F. Kennedy to the National

Archives.

Representatives

Stansfield Turner and the HSCA agreed in a Memorandum of

Understanding to create, upon termination of the HSCA,

House of Representatives agreed to a shorter period of time.

In early 1978, the HSCA and the DCI revised the MOU to

HSCA--not all documents reviewed by the Committee--would

be placed in this collection.

Kennedy.
