Subcommittee staff present: James C.Turner, staff director; Bennie B.Williams, clerk; and Monty Tripp, minority professional staff. Opening Statement Of Chairman Conyers Mr. Conyers. Good morning. The Legislation and National Security Subcommittee will come to order. We are meeting today to review the implementation of Public Law 102-526, the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, a law which originated in this committee. Last year the subcommittee held three separate hearings on this legislation and worked closely with the Senate and the administration to shape the final Records Act. The assassination of President Kennedy was a tragedy that touched everyone, and continues to be felt even as we near the 30th anniversary of that event. He was a unique leader who brought humanity and vision to American policy, both at home and abroad. The tragic loss of the President was compounded by lingering suspicion that the government was not entirely forthcoming about the assassination. Indeed, the 1964 Warren Commission conclusion that Oswald, acting alone, was responsible for the death of President Kennedy has been in question since the first day that it was made public. And today, many Americans feel that something is being concealed in the secret files of their government. That is why members in this committee joined together in passing the Records Act, which requires prompt public disclosure of all materials relating to the assassination of President Kennedy.
