Oversight Committee's Anti-Biden Agenda
Federal Judge John Tunheim, former chairman of the Assassinations Records Review Board (ARRB) recently said that the next step in getting full release of the government's JFK assassination records and full enforcement of the JFK Act is for the House Oversight Committee to hold open public oversight hearings to determine why the act is not being upheld, why so many records are missing and why have so many been destroyed, and who is responsible. And he said more than one hearing would be necessary.
Now with the Republicans in charge of the committee, it will be up to the chairman Rep. James Comer (R. Ky) to schedule such hearings, and with the next Biden imposed deadline of October 31 - Holloween, such hearings should be held before then.
hat the Conservative Republican caucus, that held up the Speaker of the House nomination for so long, has stacked the Oversight Committee with anti-Biden activists who are out to nail him.
"The House Republican Steering Committee on Tuesday selected several conservative firebrands to serve on the Oversight Committee during the 118th Congress, including multiple members who previously had their committee assignments stripped by House Democrats during the previous Congress...... Along with investigating Biden’s handling of classified documents, the Republican-led Oversight Committee has also pledged to investigate the Biden White House for several things, including the ongoing border and fentanyl crises, the energy crisis, Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, Hunter Biden’s business dealings, and the origins of the coronavirus."
To that we must add the fact that President Biden has failed to enforce the JFK Act, and has continued to withhold records that Congress ordered released in 2017, and he is being sued, along with the National Archives, for not enforcing the act or releasing the records, as the law provides.
That is the strategy we must take.and make our case quickly.
If you are a constituent of any of the members of the House Oversight Committee - Republicans or Democrats, you should contact them and make them aware of how important oversight hearings on the JFK Act are.
As the ever vigilant Jefferson Morley has recently pointed out at his JFKFacts blog:
" The Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB) is hosting "America’s Secrets: Classified Information and Our Democracy," a two-day event featuring a public meeting of the PIDB and a keynote conversation with the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines on Thursday, January 26th, and a full-day conference featuring a keynote address from Senator John Cornyn on Friday, January 27th."
"As Director of National Intelligence, Haines oversees the work of the entire U.S. intelligence community. She is a former deputy director of the CIA, which continues to withhold information from more than 4,000 records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy."
"Established by statute, the seven member PIDB advises the President of the United States regarding issues pertaining to national classification and declassification policy, including the JFK assassination files."
"The PIDB’s blog: Transforming Classification has more information about the Board’s activities."
You can also write to the Oversight Committee yourself, using the letter I wrote posted below as an example. Keep your comments short, not more than one page, and be polite.
