Will Congress Conduct JFK Oversight Hearings?
Will Congress Conduct JFK Oversight Hearings?
House leaders, three Republicans and one Democrat, could bring sunshine to the JFK assassination story
A friend writes, “Please post the following information for JFK Facts readers. They can contact the committee chairs to ask for oversight hearing on JFK Records Act and on H.R. 637.”
In December, John Tunheim, former chair of the Assassination Records Review Board, called for oversight hearings to examine why the JFK Records Act has not been enforced.
In January, Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) introduced H.R. 637, also known as the JFK Act of 2023 which would declassify all assassination files within 30 days.
Now is a good time to advocate for open government measures. Sunshine Week, held March 12-19, is an annual nationwide celebration of access to public information and what it means for you and your community. It’s your right to know.
Contact the elected officials and civil servants listed below and let them know that full JFK disclosure is a genuinely bipartisan issue that Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, can all agree on. This is one issue where an otherwise divided Congress can act boldly to insure the American people can have full JFK disclosure by next November, the 60th anniversary of the Dallas tragedy.

For those of you who still think politicians give a sh*t about what ordinary citizens want.
If anyone gets a reply, please post it.
How great it would be if we had a nation-wide internet-based citizen referendum system where everyone could vote on issues of the day. Verification could be by fingerprint or other biometric. If everyone knew what the majority wants, it might be more difficult for the politicians to vote against the will of the people. The oligarchs don't want that.
The majority are possibly not buying the lone nut narrative but the establishment controls what evidence may have been stored in the national archives. I have a keen interest in what evidence was never placed in official storage.
