Summary  
The document contains records related to Floyd L. Reeves' employment and payroll authorization for the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). A review board postponed partial release of the document due to privacy concerns regarding Social Security numbers (SSNs), noting that public disclosure could constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy. The HSCA's records series includes payroll information for Reeves, including his SSN (redacted in summary) and salary details.

Additional payroll certification forms indicate Reeves declared no familial relationships with current U.S. Congress members during the 95th Congress period.
