Summary  
The document outlines the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) policy regarding the destruction of records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It states that a moratorium on destroying CIA records was in effect until December 10, 1976, following an investigation by the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities. After this date, regular document destruction procedures would resume in accordance with approved records control schedules. The CIA assured the Select Committee on Assassinations (House of Representatives) that no materials related to their investigations would be destroyed once the moratorium ended.
