A lot of what you have requested is already being done by COPA - check out their web site - Coalition On Political Assassinations, and Facebook pages devoted to Freeing the Files and getting Congressional oversight of the JFKAct.
The most important event coming up is Wed. Aug. 29th at the National Archives and Records Administration in DC
Dan Alcorn has called attention to this important meeting that I think we all should add imput to regarding JFK assassination records:
I sent an e-mail around yesterdaycalling attention to the open public forum that will be held by the NationalArchives on August 29 seeking public input on the declassificationprocess. It occurred to me later that the Archives is accepting questionsfor the forum in advance, so that those who are not in the DC area could submitquestions for the forum. Here is the notice with the e-mail address ofthe Archives official who is point of contact for this forum:
The NDC will be hostingits third annual open forum on Wednesday, August 29, from 10 a.m. to 12 noonin the McGowan Theater at the National Archives Building.The theme for this year's forum will be "NDCChallenges at Two Years: What did we learn, and how are we moving forward?" Youmay contact Don McIlwain, don.mcilwain@nara.gov or 301-837-0587 foradditional information or to submit advance questions. Additional informationand details will follow.

I will be responding to the other points as soon as I can.

Hello Bill,
I read Adele's emails between you & her, and signed your petition change.org. I've been to your blog and visited the COPA website. I don't know if COPA is your website, or if you're affiliated with it, or if COPA just reposts your articles. But I have to say (and I don't know if it were the navigation, that one has to log in, or if it's just the content) I didn't see where or how the Coalition On Political Assassinations was taking "point" on organizing other groups & forums. It's a great name, and that is what I would be expecting of them with a name like that - I don't see how Mary Ferrell or CTKA, etc. coordinate with COPA
The thing that concerns me, about everything, is that we seem to have several different initiatives, conferences and endeavors that are operating independently of one another. Kind of sounds like the CIA (lol).
I think we need, for lack of a better name, an "information committee" which would keep tabs on & communicate with the different project leaders to keep them informed of what's going on with other groups and report to the other groups the progress/status of all project leaders.
Thoughts, anyone?
Mark
