Taking into account your deeply disappointing 2011 decision not to re-open an investigation into the 21st February 1965 assassination of Malcolm X (citing the ‘scarcity of federal investigative resources’, among other reasons) – and in the light of your 2009 memoranda on Transparency and Open Government in which you expressed a commitment to disclosure and transparency as it relates to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) – we, the undersigned, appeal to your administration to publish, in full and without redaction, all federal government files and records relating to the crime. Chief amongst these should be all surveillance materials and documents compiled by the FBI, CIA and the New York Police Department’s Bureau of Special Services (BOSS).
