    Designation of Assassination Records: The following United States 
Secret Service records from the files of Chief James Rowley are 
designated ``assassination records:'' Twelve news conference 
transcripts for the November 21, 1963-November 26, 1963 period; Secret 
Service comments on William Manchester book manuscript; 6 newsclips, 
and 80 USSS documents from the following file groups: Protective 
Research/Investigative; Protective Methods; and General. Also included 
are 374 public suggestions from the Presidential Protection file and 
the President-General file. All materials are from the 1963-1964 
period. 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:

    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.
