"The National Declassification Center (NDC)at the National Archives held a public forum on Aug. 29 to obtain public inputon declassification. The NDC istrying to address a 400 million page backlog of classified records at theArchives. During the public question period, journalist JeffMorley (formerly with the Washington Post) asked that NDCreconsider itsdecision earlier this year not to speed up processing of 1,171classified CIArecords related to the JFK assassination by the 50thanniversary in 2013 (otherwise they remain secret until at least 2017 andperhaps indefinitely beyond). The NDC/Archivesresponse to Morley's request was a flat no. The CIA representativeon the panel said, "My agency has nothing to say on thattopic". Another questioner, Jim Lesar, elicited the admission thatit would take approximately two months to process that quantity of complexdocuments. There were six public questions asked at the forum and threeof them were from people seeking declassification of the JFK assassinationrecords, the most commented topic. The flat negative response to theJFK rrecords issue cast a pall over the proceedings. There were 100plus people in attendance, many of them government employees."

PRESS RELEASE
HISTORICAL RESEACHERS TO PICKET THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
Historical researchers will picket the National Archives onConstitution Avenue between Seventh and Ninth Streets, N.W. near the Visitor'sEntrance on Monday, October 8, 2012 between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 Noon anddistribute an open letter to David S. Ferriero, the Archivist of the UnitedStates.
The purpose of the picket will be to protest the decisionby the National Archives not to declassify documents related to theassassination of President John Kennedy, a decision made at the request of theCentral Intelligence Agency.
The National Archives' decision is in violation ofPresident Barack Obama' executive order of Tuesday, December 29, 2009 that"no information may remain classified
indefinitely" as part of sweeping overhaul of the executive branch'ssystem protecting
classified national security information.
President Obama also established a new National Declassification Center atthe National Archives to speed the process of declassifying historicaldocuments by centralizing their review. The President set a four year deadlinefor processing a 400-million-page backlog of such records that originallyincluded the JFK assassination records to be released on the 50th anniversaryof Kennedy's death, but later reneged on that commitment.
The October 8th picket is in protest that decision bythe Archives and the continued withholding of JFK assassination records pastthe 50th anniversary of the assassination.
