The US will “unfortunately” continue to delay the public release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and officials say the COVID-19 pandemic is to blame.
The move was announced in a memo signed by President Joe Biden and released by the White House Friday.
“Temporary continued postponement is necessary to protect against identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure,” Biden wrote.
In 1992, Congress ruled that “all Government records concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy . . . should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history surrounding the assassination,” the missive said.
The act allowed the government to postpone the release to “protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations,” according to the memo.
This year, the National Archives and Records Administration ruled that “unfortunately, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the agencies,” and NARA needed additional time to research the material and “maximize the amount of information released,” the memo said.
The most sensitive information will now be released in December 2022 and material that has already been deemed “appropriate for release to the public,” will be dumped on Dec. 15 of this year.

That can’t be done without our knowledge and help, and at the time, how many were ready to even believe it?
You just can’t keep stuff forever. Fact of life.
When assassin got assassinated was like the 2nd plane hitting WTC on 911. You immediately knew it was no accident.
COVID INFECTED RECORDS FROM ALMOST 60 YEARS AGO!!!
This is the 2nd time they have been delayed. Trump also delayed them. I’m smelling Governemnt coverup......poorly done!
COVID-19 the universal dodge and excuse. Phooey.
No matter what is in them, the people have the right to know. This political bantering is just causing more intregue into the issue. So the Soviets of that day might have had a part in getting Lee Oswald to shoot the president, it has nothing to do with today. Whatever the cause was for holding back the facts at that time, it means nothing now. Biden should release them now.
