Augmenting the final section, "CIA files"

Latest comment: 11 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The final section of the article about June Cobb states that "Further documents concerning Cobb that are related to the assassination were scheduled to be released under the JFK Records Act in October 2017. The National Archives and Records Administration announced that it was preparing a 221-page file of documents related to Cobb."

As it happens, the National Archives and Records Administration released the 221-page file of documents related to Cobb on 12/15/22: https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/release2022?search=FOLDER+ON+COBB%2C+VIOLA+JUNE+%28VOL+VII%29#

I would be happy to edit this final section to include a link to the file (https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2022/104-10266-10026.pdf), but my Wikipedia skills aren't good enough to do so. It would also be helpful to mention that this 221-page file is of virtually no use to anyone who wants to research the Kennedy assassination, because its 195 pages (I don't understand why NARA claims the file is 221 pages, because it isn't) all date from 1965 and later and have absolutely nothing to say about Lee Harvey Oswald.

I am very confused by this sentence from the "CIA Files" section: "Some of the Warren Commission's declassified files indicate that the CIA, in the late 1970s, refused to help House Select Committee on Assassinations investigators locate Cobb for an interview about Oswald's activities in Mexico." The citation is to a Politico article that doesn't seem to prove the claim. Also, I don't see how the Warren Commission could have files on what the CIA did in the late 1970s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:483:5880:11B0:B572:4641:CF3E:6E3D (talk) 07:45, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
