FOIA Request F93-2003

"to" "The

Kennedy Assassination

of 1992." Also requested are "agency interpretations of the

Act and any instructions given to agency employees on

implementation of the Act."

2.

As far as HRG is concerned, we are processing

relevant Agency records under the Act for release to the

National Archives.

More than 125,000 pages have already

been released to the Archives, where they are available to

the public.

We are applying the JFK Assassinations Records

Act in determining what information is to be released.

Section 6 of the Act provides the standards for our

recommendations as to what information should be withheld.

3.

Beyond the Act, there is no formal HRG file of

instructions on implementing the Assassinations Records Act.

Guidance is generally given orally to HRG officers.

addition, we use informal, internal notes to indicate that

certain names or other specific information may

or may not

be released.
