On January 23, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order 14176, titled “Declassification of Records Concerning the Assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released, unredacted. The nearly 80,000 documents can be reviewed on the National Archives website.

The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza has no specific insight into these particular documents at this time. We acknowledge that this additional information may have potential value to researchers, historians and individuals around the world. The Museum’s mission is to help place into context the assassination of President Kennedy. While we anticipate the records release could lead to a broader understanding of the assassination and of the 1960s, we will not speculate or provide commentary as to what these records may reveal. Reviewing these documents will take time, and we will carefully consider the insights of scholars and historians.
