(* = time corrected to CST 2400 clock) (** = Do not have document) (*** = Do not have document, but it is a copy of existing document) FBI OFFICE ABBREVIATIONS MENTIONED: WA = HEADQUARTERS WASHINGTON, D.C. BS = BOSTON DL = DALLAS SI = SPRINGFIELD PH = PHILADELPHIA FBI OFFICE / FILE DESIGNATIONS MENTIONED: DL 89-43 (assassination file) WA 62-109060 (misc., assassination file) WA 42-24016 (unknown file, may have to do with deserters) SI 89-23 (assassination file) PH 157-916 (extremist / civil unrest file) CONCLUSIONS: Numerous FBI documents on the revolver investigation have not been released as of yet with this FOIA request to WA. No documentation has been released showing the exact location of the revolver, who found the revolver, and any FBI laboratory testing to determine if the weapon had fingerprints on it or had recently been fired. I have not been able to get a response from the FBI for over a year as to the remaining documents which have not been released. The file designations WA 42-24016 and PH 157-916 may contain significant information as to who had this weapon or were it came from. During 1963 many weapons were disappearing from military bases and finding their way to extremist right-wing groups such as the Minutemen. REQUEST: Please contact me if you have any of the missing FBI documents or additional knowledge regarding the revolver found in Dealy Plaza.
