RECORDINGS OF TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS CONCERNING THE ASSASSINATION OF
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND THE TRANSITION
President
Johnson intended for the recordings and transcripts of his telephone conversations
to be closed until fifty years after his death. In November 1993, however,
the staff of the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library began opening this collection
in response to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection
Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-526). We prepared a special series entitled
"JFK Assassination-Related Conversations” (informally called
the “K Series”), consisting of the recordings and transcripts
of all recorded telephone conversations from November 22 through December
31, 1963, as well as conversations containing information specifically
related to the assassination from several later periods in the Johnson
administration.
In
all, there are 34 tapes and 786 pages of transcripts in this collection.

for descriptions of individual conversations as well as information about
purchasing tapes and transcripts.
