Statement in Response to White House Announcement-
“In a midnight Friday night announcement the White House has delivered the bad news that President Biden will be maintaining secrecy indefinitely on some JFK assassination related records. This is unwelcome news for transparency advocates and concerned citizens of the country. In 1992 the JFK Records Act was passed unanimously by Congress with the promise that all assassination related records would be released no later than October 2017, 25 years after enactment. This promise has not been kept and in fact has been broken with this midnight announcement. By far the best course of action for the government is to make full release of JFK assassination records to restore some public trust. That opportunity is lost for now.”
