Cohen is a Democrat, Schweikert and Burchett are Republicans.   These Congressmen have been in contact with many JFK researchers, and this ten point plan shows that there has been good communications among many people with differing political views.

Note that this letter calls for a new search by all agencies to conduct a new search that will immediately turn over all documents “pertaining to the assassination”, as well as an independent oversight board to ensure that it gets done, as well as immediate digitizing of all JFK documents in the hands of the Archives.

To circulate the letter, here it is:  https://cohen.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/cohen.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/JFK Docs Release LTR 1-23-25.pdf

If we can get more Congresspeople and other elected officials and members of the public to sign on to this letter or offer their support to the ten points in this letter, it will make a real difference in the days ahead.   

The plan for the release of JFK records is scheduled to be revealed on Friday, February 7.   This is the best plan out there.

Federal judge who examined JFK files previews what to expect

Judge John Tunheim chaired the JFK Assassination Records Review Board

FARGO (KVRR) – A federal judge in Minneapolis who oversaw the collection of government documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is pointing out what to look for when the records are finally unveiled.

U.S. District Court Judge John Tunheim was chairman of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board. The panel examined every government file related to the assassination—including those that still remain sealed from the public.

On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order for the government to declassify all documents related to the assassination.

“There is a big category of records I would like to see and the public should see,” Tunheim said in an interview with KVRR Local News.  “Those are the KGB surveillance records on Lee Harvey Oswald for the time he lived in the Soviet Union. This is a remarkable cache of records.”

“I think there are records bearing on our relationships with foreign governments at the time that were considered way too sensitive to release. We protected some of that information, I think we will see some of that.”

Tunheim says unfortunately, some information will never be recovered, including records connected to Oswald’s visit to Mexico City just weeks before the assassination took place.

“Those records were taken over by counterintelligence two or three weeks into the investigation. Most of that has not been located. So I have no doubt that records like that…the Secret Service had destroyed some records, we know about that.”

Tunheim says several of the records remain in the custody of the Russian government and says perhaps Trump’s relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin can be beneficial. “I think this would be a real treasure trove for investigators,” he said.

Tunheim says he’s still somewhat concerned that the U.S. intelligence community may try to pressure Trump into withholding some documents like they did in 2017, but remains hopeful that everything will finally be released.
