John F. Kennedy's assassination records are being reviewed for public release under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992.

The documents mention a request for station assistance to deliver information related to a former employee who retired under cover and resides in Hong Kong.

A letter from Beth Mills informs that the name of a colleague appears in documents being reviewed for public release, and they should contact her if concerns would be raised from the public release of their name.

The grounds for postponing public disclosure of records include:

* Threat to the military defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States
* Clear and convincing evidence that public discussion of the assassination is of such gravity and the public interest, and such public disclosure would reveal
	+ An intelligence agent whose identity currently requires protection utilized
	+ An intelligence source or method which is currently officially disclosed, the disclosure of which would interfere with the conduct of intelligence activities
	+ Any other matter currently classified relating to the military defense, intelligence operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States

The documents also mention that public disclosure of records could reveal the name or identity of a living person who provided confidential information to the United States and would pose a substantial risk to that person.

A list of frequently asked questions is included, with answers such as:

* Why is my name in the JFK assassination records? We do not know exactly how your name may have been mentioned in a cable or document.
* What does "release" mean? NARA will release unclassified versions of documents and make them available to professional researchers.
* What if I don't want my name released? You and we will have to convince the Presidential Board that public disclosure would be harmful to you.

The documents also mention that if your name is released, the agency will have to be looked at carefully to determine the viability of continued cover protection.
