US releases new trove of files related to 1963 assassination of ex-US president John F. Kennedy, but White House holds some documents back, citing national security concerns
Often referred to by his initials, JFK, is seen in the photo with Texas governor John Connally in Dallas moments before he was assassinated in November 1963.
It said that 97 percent of the records, which total approximately five million pages, held by the archives have now been released. "Temporary continued postponement of public disclosure of such information is necessary to protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations," Biden said.
A significant number of the files released on Thursday related to Oswald, his international travel and contacts in the weeks, months and years ahead of the Kennedy assassination.
