The MOU addresses -. categories of documents and activities that the Review Board had agreed could be postponed beyond September 1998.

We are working closely with NARA in completing the JFK project, and I keep them apprised of our progress; our relationship with NARA remains excellent Given the massive job that NARA has in processing the JFK collection, our missed deadlines have not been a problem to NARA, nor have they delayed NARA's release of information to the public.
