The final report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Review Board has worked hard to obtain all records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy and to release the records to the fullest extent possible to the American people. They have done so in the hope that release of these records will shed new evidentiary light on the assassination, enrich the historical understanding of that tragic moment in American history, and help restore public confidence in the government's handling of the assassination and its aftermath.
