The JFK Files



The 201 System

I am glad the files have been released and mostly unredacted.  But it is a slog. An endless hay stack looking for the needle. There is no keyword searching just files with numbers on them lacking context.  I wish I had more to show and perhaps will in time.  This search could go on all year.

One I did find interesting is a detailed 19 page document entitled The 201 System.  As stated in the introduction it’s a system for identifying individuals of interest to the Operations Directorate.  All data on this person is gathered for a 201 file.  Lee H. Oswald was one of the those individuals.
