Bill > HR239

This bill, known as the Justice for Kennedy Act of 2025, requires heads of specific federal agencies to publicly disclose all assassination records and information related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination within 30 days of the bill's enactment. The covered federal officials, which include the Archivist of the United States, the CIA Director, FBI Director, and Secretaries of Defense and State, must release these records in an unclassified and unredacted form, overriding any previous legal restrictions or confidentiality agreements. The Attorney General is also mandated to petition courts in the United States and abroad to publicly disclose any assassination records currently held under seal or subject to grand jury secrecy. The bill defines "assassination records" using the terminology from the 1992 President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act and aims to provide full transparency about the historical documents surrounding Kennedy's assassination, potentially resolving long-standing questions and speculation about the events of November 22, 1963.
