| Trove of JFK assassination records released by National Archives |
| 2022-12-16 |
| [ABC] More records related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination were released Thursday by the National Archives. The agency released 13,173 documents containing new information, stating now over 97% of records in the collection are publicly available. Originally, the National Archives said 12,879 documents were being released but later updated the total due to "last minute additions." President Joe Biden authorized the release of the documents, but will continue to block some materials from public view until June 30, 2023, claiming releasing them now would result in "identifiable harm." "I agree that continued postponement of public disclosure of such information is warranted to protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure," Biden said in a memorandum released Thursday afternoon. Biden stated that after a "comprehensive effort" to review a full set of 16,000 records that were previously released in redacted form, more than 70% of those records would now be released in full.

| #1 "... 97% of records in the collection are publicly available..." of the 16,000 admitted to documents. So like many, now I am wondering what names and facts are in the 480+/- (3% of 16k) documents that still need to be sealed from the public some 59 years later? |
