MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES

SUBJECT: Temporary Certification for Certain
Records Related to the Assassination
of President John F. Kennedy


The American public expects -- and deserves -- its Government to
provide as much access as possible to the President John F. Kennedy
Assassination Records (records) so that the people may finally be
fully informed about all aspects of this pivotal event. Therefore, I
am ordering today that the veil finally be lifted. At the same time,
executive departments and agencies (agencies) have proposed to me that
certain information should continue to be redacted because of national
security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns. I have no
choice --today -- but to accept those redactions rather than allow
potentially irreversible harm to our Nation's security. To further
address these concerns, I am also ordering agencies to re-review each
and every one of those redactions over the next 180 days. At the end
of that period, I will order the public disclosure of any information
that the agencies cannot demonstrate meets the statutory standard for
continued postponement of disclosure under section 5(g)(2)(D) of the
President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992
(44 U.S.C. 2107 note) (the "Act").

Accordingly, by the authority vested in me as President and Commander
in Chief by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, I hereby certify that all information within records that
agencies have proposed for continued postponement under section
5(g)(2)(D) of the Act must be temporarily withheld from full public
disclosure until no later than April 26, 2018, to allow sufficient
time to determine whether such information warrants continued
postponement under the Act. This temporary withholding from full
public disclosure is necessary to protect against harm to the military
defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of
foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public
interest in immediate disclosure.

I hereby direct all agencies that have proposed postponement of full
disclosure to review the information subject to this certification and
identify as much as possible that may be publicly disclosed without
harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law
enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations.

Any agency that seeks to request further postponement beyond this
temporary certification shall adhere to the findings of the Act, which
state, among other things, that "only in the rarest cases is there any
legitimate need for continued protection of such records." The need
for continued protection can only have grown weaker with the passage
of time since the Congress made this finding. Accordingly, each
agency head should be extremely circumspect in recommending any
further postponement of full disclosure of records. Any agency that
seeks further postponement shall, no later than March 12, 2018, report
to the Archivist of the United States (Archivist) on the specific
information within particular records that meets the standard for
continued postponement under section 5(g)(2)(D) of the Act.
Thereafter, the Archivist shall recommend to me, no later than March
26, 2018, whether the specific information within particular records
identified by agencies warrants continued withholding from public
disclosure after April 26, 2018.

The Archivist is hereby authorized and directed to publish this
memorandum in the Federal Register.

Well sounds like Donald has been fair to both sides. That's a sign of a
good leader.

Do you also believe in the Easter Bunny?
Let me repeat this for the millionth time in case you missed it the
first 1,999,999 times.
The government ALWAYS lies.
The CIA ALWAYS covers up everything.
The WC defenders ALWAYS lie.
the WC defenders ALWAYS cover up everything.


Is there anyone here stupid enough to think that the CIA would just
CONFESS today?

Call me paranoid while you WC defenders and the CIA continue to lie and
cover up.

We'll know that when we see how much of the hidden data continues
hidden.

Sooo. Still nothing showing a conspiracy.
Bummer.

[Anthony Marsh]

Well, as I pointed out before, we can tell what is dispositive by noting
what they still withhold. If they only released pages 1 and 2 of a
document and page 2 says, "Wow, see page 3" then they refuse to release
page 3 and then claim that page 3 never existed, I want to see what was
on page 3, even it is redacted.

[Anthony Marsh]

AS I said before, what else would you expect from the CIA? A confession?
An apology?
