Requires the National Historical Publications and Records Commission to provide for the selection and preparation for publication of materials in the Collection that are of broad historical interest.

Requires the Public Printer to make such materials available: (1) for distribution and sale; and (2) through the Depository Library Program.

Authorizes the head of each executive agency to transfer to the Archivist for inclusion in the Collection each record of an official investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy (assassination record) for which the agency is a custodian of records.

Requires such agency head to make available to the Assassination Materials Review Board (established by this Act) each assassination record for which the agency is a custodian of records and which has not been transferred from the agency to the Archivist.

Requires the Archivist to make available to the Review Board each assassination record for which the Committee on House Administration of the House of Representatives or the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate is a custodian of records.

Requires the custodian of records for an assassination record, no later than 60 days after receipt of a Review Board recommendation with respect to the record, to transfer it to the Archivist for inclusion in the Collection if: (1) the Review Board determines that the record is assassination material and recommends its transfer to the Archivist for inclusion in the Collection; and (2) that transfer and inclusion is not postponed under this Act.

Requires the Review Board to review assassination and all other relevant records made available to it to determine whether the record is assassination material and, if so and in accordance with criteria for postponement, submit to the custodian of records or other appropriate entity a recommendation that the record: (1) should be transferred to the Archivist for inclusion in the Collection; or (2) qualifies for postponement. Requires each determination and recommendation of the Review Board to: (1) identify the record that is the subject of the determination or recommendation; and (2) set forth the basis for the determination or recommendation. Requires the Review Board to: (1) determine that a record is assassination material, unless it determines by clear and convincing evidence that the record does not have any relevance to the Kennedy assassination; (2) recommend the transfer of assassination material to the Archivist for inclusion in the Collection, unless there is clear and convincing evidence that the material qualifies for postponement; and (3) submit to the Archivist for inclusion in the Collection each determination that an assassination record is not assassination material and each recommendation where assassination material qualifies for postponement.
