1. SOUNDBITE (English) Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and author of “The Kennedy Half-Century:
"We’ve got a long, long list. You know, there I can’t even begin to go through all of the items that we’ve listed that we want to look at, but they are places where there have been redactions and sensitive documents. That’s our first priority, because there’s a reason why we’ve got a sensitive document. We can tell it’s a sensitive document. Other pieces of it reveal sensitive information, but there must be something really, really sensitive for them to redact a paragraph or a page or multiple pages in a document like that. You know, some of it’s about Cuba, some of it’s about what the CIA did or didn’t do relative to Lee Harvey Oswald. Some of it is about assassination plots against Castro. And for all we know, other people."

STORYLINE:
Previously classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released Tuesday evening following an order by President Donald Trump shortly after he took office.
The 1,123 files were posted on the website of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. The vast majority of the National Archives’ collection of over 6 million pages of records, photographs, motion pictures, sound recordings and artifacts related to the assassination have previously been released.
Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and author of “The Kennedy Half-Century,” said they’ve got “a long, long list” of documents they are looking for.
“There are places where there have been redactions in sensitive documents, that’s our first priority. There must be something really, really sensitive for them to redact a paragraph, or a page or multiple pages in a document like that. Some of it’s about Cuba, some of it’s about what the CIA did or didn’t do relevant to Lee Harvey Oswald, Sabato said.
He said that they have a lot of work to do for a long time to come and people just have to accept that.
“There are going to be surprises in there but i just don’t think there are going to be that many surprises about JFK’s assassination,” he said.
