2/In 1992, Congress passed President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2107 (Supp. V. 1994), which required all government agencies to search for records in their possession concerning assassination & place them in #NationalArchives.
3/A Review Board was established to identify & retrieve all "assassination records". I co-authored law review article in 1993 defining that term & identifying most important assassination records to obtain.
