NARA just released ~3539 documents. Most were previously released in part, but more than any previous release there are many that had been withheld in full. This is IMO the most interesting group yet. I have found some interesting stuff in the several hours I've browsed through. You can find them here: https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/20...e?page=702
Unfortunately, there are the usual problems: many that are totally illegible [one hilariously named 'retyped over illegible original']; multiple copies of the same document confusing things, files with redactions [one I found was 100% redacted!], previously withheld in part still with redactions [i.e. still withheld in part] and listed papers listed as withheld in full - none of this in the spirit nor the letter of the JFK Act. That said and that criminal activity aside, one can find some little gems in your field of interest and look to me to be some of the more significant docs so far released.....post any good one here and elsewhere. Some of these are huge files running to hundreds of pages. Some do not give the number of pages until you open them. The sloppyness, lack of care and due diligence, subversion of the JFK Act, is extreme....but we get some new crumbs. I found a few that are quite significant, IMHO. [if you know the larger picture]. No one document ever will be a 'smoking gun' - only part of a mosaic that when put together correctly outlines the smoking guns of Dallas, in part. The most damning information was either never committed to paper, has been destroyed or is being withheld and denied to even exist. However, to an intelligent and trained person we now have enough to prove our points, and even expand upon it now. We must push for the unredacted release of all documents [and this list as I have often stated is NOT the complete or even nearly the complete list of relevant documents - not to mention there are no doubt many relevant documents we don't even know about to list...]!
