AI Summary: This regulation is an executive order mandating the declassification and public release of government records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The order requires the Director of National Intelligence and the Attorney General to develop and present plans for full disclosure of these records within specific timeframes: 15 days for Kennedy's assassination records and 45 days for Kennedy and King assassination records. The executive order is based on the principle of government transparency, referencing the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 and acknowledging that more than 50 years have passed since these historic events. The order emphasizes the public's right to know and instructs government agencies to review and release records that no longer require continued classification, while maintaining provisions that protect existing legal authorities and ensuring implementation is consistent with applicable law and available appropriations.
