Summary: The documents detail declassified records from 1977-1979 involving investigations into Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and related matters. Key entries include a February 15, 1978, request for information on MLK, references to Cuban Counter-Revolutionary Handbooks, materials concerning Lee Harvey Oswald’s activities in Mexico City, and documentation tied to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). The records encompass clearance letters, handwritten notes, administrative materials, sealed envelopes, interim responses to HSCA inquiries, and transcripts of CIA employee testimony. They also reference "Mexi" codes (likely Mexican-related files), internal communications between agencies, and case numbers associated with investigative files. A second set of documents from August 1978–March 1979 includes correspondence, declassified reports, witness deposition processes, discussions about evidence handling, and coordination between the HSCA, FBI, CIA, and other intelligence units. Both sets highlight administrative procedures, agency interactions, and ongoing reviews of classified materials related to assassination inquiries.
