Summary: The document details internal communications regarding U.S. Government Assassination Records Review Board (ARBB) efforts to access records related to John F. Kennedy's assassination held by Belarusian authorities. It references meetings between ARBB officials and Belarusian State Security Service (BKBG) personnel in Minsk, including interactions with officials such as Lev Pimenau, Ablameika, and Nenadnally.
