The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 was supposed to require that all documents related to the JFK Assassination would be released. The Act set a 25-year deadline for disclosure of all assassination records, unless “continued postponement [of the record was] made necessary by an identifiable harm to military defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign relations” that was “of such gravity that it outweigh[ed] the public interest in disclosure.” JFK Act § 5(g)(2)(D). However, many documents remain unreleased. The indexes and transparency plans, along with other agency postponement documentation, are available on this JFK website at https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/agency-doc-2022.
