  Commending the National Archives and Records Administration and its 
    staff for working to comply with the President John F. Kennedy 
 Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 and release all records 
 related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by October

Whereas the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 
        1992 (44 U.S.C. 2107 note; Public Law 102-526) directed the National 
        Archives and Records Administration (commonly known as ``NARA'') to 
        establish a collection of records to be known as the President John F. 
        Kennedy Assassination Records Collection (referred to in this preamble 
        as the ``Collection'');
Whereas the Collection includes all Federal Government records relating to the 
        1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, including records of 
        Presidential commissions, congressional committees and investigations, 
        executive branch agencies, and the judiciary, in addition to a variety 
        of donated historical materials;
Whereas NARA has compiled a JFK Master System database of 319,106 documents 
        comprising 5,000,000 pages of assassination-related records, 
        photographs, motion pictures and recordings, and artifacts; and
Whereas the processing team at NARA, including archivists and technicians from 
        the Special Access and Freedom of Information Act staff, staff from the 
        Office of Innovation, and Public Affairs staff, have worked diligently 
        to fully release records related to the assassination of President 
        Kennedy: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate commends the National Archives and 
Records Administration and its staff for working to comply with the 
President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 
and release all records related to the assassination of President John 
F. Kennedy by October 26, 2017.
