If there are more document to be release, then these documents must be prior to 1963 involving America's wars.
Sorry Scott, that is not true. There are many many many documents never released or said to be 'unable to be found' or said to have 'been routinely destroyed'. A partial [!] list of as yet unreleased JFK Assassination documents is attached here. According to the JFK Act, all documents that are 'releasable' [a very contentious matter in and of itself] are to be released by next year [2017] - by law. However, many groups are fighting tooth and nail to see this happens, with the expectation that the really 'good' ones that show who really was behind it will NOT be released - as if they were, US polity would collapse and everyone would see that they had been manipulated and lied to not only in Dallas, but forever and completely. CAPA is working on seeing that a maximum of documents be released next year, as is AARB and many other groups. The list of other document groups that are said to be 'unable to be found' or said to have 'been routinely destroyed' is long, and I don't have the time just now to enumerate them. Some may have been destroyed, but more likely they went into the 'do not file file', so that the various agencies and entities could say they 'don't exist' [in the normal records].
N.B. I can not upload the list, I don't know why I can't upload it...but I have it on my computer!
Here is an article about the October 2017 release deadline. Most JFK researchers expect only a partial release (with the usual redactions!) of documents we know about and have not yet been released - how many others we do NOT know about is likely over a million. LHO's entire ONI file is 'missing'...as are many other important items.
With either Clinton or even less with Trump do I personally feel there will be any push from that 'branch' of the government to see that the JFK Act is carried out in deed, as it is written in word.
Quote:Exciting news: WhoWhatWhy has obtained the complete list of 3,603 secret documentson the Kennedy assassination still being held by the US government. (Or, to be precise, what it admits to still holding.)
Now we can at least get a peek at what they have been hiding.
The list was obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request by FOIA specialist Michael Ravnitzky, who alerted us.
The complete list is below. You'll note that some documents are briefly characterized by subject, while others are less clearly identified.
The government has promised to release as many documents as possible in October, 2017, the 25th anniversary of the JFK Records Act, in which Congress mandated that all efforts be made to release everything in Washington's possession unless an overriding case can be made for withholding in the national interest.
Some perhaps most of these documents could be released at that time. Then again, they may be further withheld. The CIA in particular is likely to argue that some are just too sensitive to be made public.
Still, knowing their subject matter makes it easier to press for disclosure, and to hold the government accountable by insisting it justify any continued withholdings.
Those who wish to look at the list should be forewarned that it's a bit like looking at hieroglyphics. Most of the names and brief references will mean something only to a very few.
Among the documents that caught our eye:
Lee Harvey Oswald's CIA "201 File." 201 files contain personality assessments
Records on David Morales, David Atlee Phillips, E. Howard Hunt, William King Harvey and others considered by top researchers prime suspects for participation in the planning and implementation of Kennedy's murder.
Documents on New Orleans oddball David Ferrie, District Attorney Jim Garrison, Jackie Kennedy, members of the Warren Commission staff, Jack Ruby, various anti-Castro Cubans and much much more.
Tax returns of Michael Paine, who with his wife Ruth provided housing and more for the Oswalds Ruth also got Lee a job in the Texas School Book Depository from which he purportedly shot Kennedy; Michael worked for the defense contractor Bell Helicopter.
