Kennedy, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.
A plan for the release of records regarding the killings of King Jr. and former Sen. Kennedy must be presented by March 9. “And although no Act of Congress directs the release of information pertaining to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I have determined that the release of all records in the Federal Government's possession pertaining to each of those assassinations is also in the public interest,” the executive order reads.
