JFK Assassination Records – 2025 Documents Release

The one about Gary Underhill seems to be interesting. Guy supposedly took his own life in 1964.

You're referring to this document [1] which has been declassified in 2017 [2] but this 2025 release comes up with some redaction removed - but essentially not providing more information. There's nothing interesting. The document opens up with a quote from a magazine (which people are mistaking for a statement of a document itself) and then goes over into detail of the work that guy has been doing - which is pretty mild. The whole document seems to fact-check the quoted magazine.

Is there an easy way to see which of these documents are new and to diff the redactions for those that were already released in a redacted form?

Yeah you are probably right, nothing concrete :/

A bunch of these documents have been released in previous years so we'll need a filter on filenames to determine what's actually new, e.g.

2023 release: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2023/20...

2025 release: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2025/03...

Thanks for posting this, was looking for a PDF downloader.

And it's gone and I didn't save a copy of the swift script locally. :-(

This one seems interesting, though I don't see any connection to the assassination.

It describes an agent, AMCARBON-1, who remained an agent during a career in journalism. It describes a couple of news stories that were apparently cultivated under the supervision of the CIA, including one about a stolen shrimp boat.

Is this perhaps one of many similar documents describing what came to be known as Operation Mockingbird?

Found a possibly interesting one, either because it's not clear why it was ever classified, or perhaps because it has some previously undisclosed diplomatic procedures. It describes the 201 dossier system, and circumstances under which one is automatically opened, categorized by known persons of various other regions and states.

Anyone have a sense of whether any of this is new?
