Summary  
This memorandum dated March 8, 1999, from George E. Muir to Joyce Reese details a records search conducted by the Department of Justice (DI) regarding documentation related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The DI confirmed that no records were found responsive to the request. Searches of document storage systems and indexing databases for materials from March and April 1968 yielded no indexed entries containing terms like "Martin Luther King" or "Memphis, TN Police Department." Additional searches of REGIS for "assassination" in 1968 also failed to locate relevant reports involving U.S. persons or government officials. The memorandum concludes that no documents meet the criteria for release under the request.
