On April 17, 1996, by unanimous vote, the Assassination Records Review Board designated the above listed materials as ``assassination records'' pursuant to Sections 7(i)(2)(A) and 9(c)(1)(A) of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act (``the JFK Act'') and Sec. 1400.1 and Sec. 1400.8 of the Guidance for Interpretation and Implementation of the JFK Act. 36 C.F.R. Sec. 1400 (1995). In not designating some USSS Documents, letters from the public, and some material from the Protective Research/Investigative, Protective Methods, and General files as ``assassination records,'' the Review Board relied upon the advice of its staff, which conducted a thorough review of additional materials in each of the above listed categories. Notice of Reconsideration: On April 16-17, 1996, the CIA provided additional evidence to the Review Board regarding 8 records that previously had been the subject of Review Board determinations. Upon receiving and evaluating this additional evidence, the Review Board voted to sustain postponements as follows: From Original Federal Register Notice: 96-8526, 61 FR 15760 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Number of Number of Number of Number of release Record No. original original revised revised or releases postponements releases postponements rereview ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 104-10001-10015.................................. 3 2 2 3 05/1997 104-10003-10064.................................. 3 1 3 3 05/1997 [[Page 20213]] 104-10003-10100.................................. 6 1 4 3 05/1997 104-10004-10124.................................. 4 6 2 8 03/2006 104-10005-10059.................................. 1 0 0 1 05/1997 104-10005-10169.................................. 4 0 2 2 05/1997 104-10005-10182.................................. 4 0 2 2 05/1997 104-10021-10093.................................. 1 0 0 1 05/1997 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Information: The Review Board, at its March 18-19, 1996 meeting, voted to open in full three assassination records from the HSCA files that the National Archives and Records Administration had referred to the Secret Service. At its April 16-17 meeting, the Review Board voted to suspend the opening of these records for 60 days, in order to allow the Secret Service further time to provide evidence in support of certain postponements that the Secret Service wishes to retain under Section 6(3) of the JFK Act. The records affected are: 180-10065-10379; 180-10087-10302; 180-10103-10465. May 1, 1996. David G. Marwell, Executive Director. [FR Doc. 96-11177 Filed 5-03-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6118-01-P
