Frequently Asked Questions
Dated 8 February 1996, it is an internal communication about processing classified records for public release, concerning an incomplete fax that included a 'no traces' cable and the first page of a cable requesting traces on Lee Harvey Oswald.
That specific cryptonyms be redacted from the documents, and that the station be notified of the official release date so the Ambassador and service chiefs could be informed of the disclosure.
