**Key Points:**

* The Warren Commission Report concluded that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
* Subsequent investigations and reviews of the evidence have raised questions about the accuracy of this conclusion.
* The House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) reopened the investigation into JFK's assassination in 1976 and found that there was a high probability that two gunmen were involved in the shooting.
* Advanced acoustic techniques demonstrated that there had been more than one shooter, directly challenging the Warren Commission's conclusion.

**Important Details:**

* The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 mandated the creation of a five-year Review Board to oversee the opening of previously withheld records related to the assassination.
* The ARRB has released many documents related to the assassination, but some have been redacted or withheld due to concerns about national security, law enforcement methods, and individual privacy.
* Researchers argue that the release of these names is necessary for a full understanding of the events surrounding the assassination.

**Connections to JFK, the Assassination, or Related Investigations:**

* The CIA has been accused of attempting to influence the Board's decisions on record disclosure.
* The document notes that the CIA has a history of secrecy and has been slow to release information related to the Kennedy assassination.
* The ARRB has made efforts to balance competing interests, but its decisions have been criticized by researchers and others who argue that more information should be available to the public.

**Evidence, Testimony, or Findings:**

* The CIA's argument to protect employee names emphasizes maintaining cover and not jeopardizing business relationships or personal safety.
* The presumption will be that an informant's identity is released if they provide "positive" information about an association-related issue.
* To overcome this presumption, the FBI would need to make a particular showing that an identity should not be released.

**Related Individuals and Events:**

* John F. Kennedy assassination
* Investigations into the assassination (HSCA, Church Committee)
* The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 was enacted by Congress on October 26, 1992, and signed into law by President George Bush
