Title: John F. 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.

FBI has been working with the Board since its inception to meet

the requirements of the Act.

with a related to the ascasaination. In

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 land 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.
