JFK Records Act

The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 directed the National Archives and Records Administration to establish a collection of records related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, including copies of all U.S. government records and materials obtained by or provided to state or local law enforcement offices that assisted in the investigation. The act required that all assassination records be publicly disclosed no later than October 26, 2017, unless the President certified that continued postponement was necessary due to national security or foreign relations concerns. The Assassination Records Review Board, established under the act, was responsible for collecting and reviewing evidence, and its final report in 1998 documented the problems caused by government secrecy surrounding the assassination.learn more on wikipedia
