Lawmaker wants files on JFK freed
WASHINGTON — Rep. Louis Stokes, who headed the House investigative *a* into President John Kennedy's assassination, said yesterday he would introduce a resolution to release secret files on the case.
The Associated Press
Stokes offered no timetable and said he was seeking co-sponsors for his measure.
Although many of his committee's records on the assassination were released in 1979, others were to remain sealed until 2029.
The files have become controversial because the movie "JFK" suggests they could yield important clues on an assassination conspiracy.
The movie alleges that Kennedy's death resulted from a conspiracy involving government officials and defense contractors. The Oliver Stone-directed film indicates the files were kent sealed as part of a cover-up.
"I can assure my colleagues that nothing could be further from the truth," Stokes said. "Americans are aware of this." He was assassination of President Kennedy."
Stokes, D-Ohio, said in a brief speech that the files would reveal nothing about a government conspiracy or a cover-up.
The assassinations committee concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was the victim of a probable conspiracy and that it was possible "that an individual organized crime leader or a small combination of leaders might have participated in a conspiracy."
The committee also concluded that a conspiracy might have been behind the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Meanwhile yesterday, the Dallas Police Department released some 2,000 pages of materials, discovered recently in police intelligence archives, detailing the deaths of Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, whom the Warren Commission concluded was the president's lone assassin.
Officials said there appeared to be little or no new information in the materials to shed new light on the killings.
Included were such documents as Oswald's grade school records, letters sent to Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby, in jail and the personnel files of police officer J.D. Tippit, who was slain by Oswald after the assassination.

Group proposes state elections fund
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—Some legislators were far from enthusiastic yesterday when a watchdog group outlined its proposal to have the state partially finance election campaigns.
The House Elections Committee took testimony on a bill under which candidates for state office could volunteer to limit their spending and avoid taking contributions from corporations and political action committees. In exchange, the state would provide campaign funds.
In fact, the committee's chairman, State Rep. Sherman Jones, D-Kansas City, intervened after a several question after Rep. Ed McKechnie, D-Pittsburgh.
Common Cause of Kansas is pushing the proposal. The self-described good-government group advocates stronger ethics laws and believes public financing of campaigns will reduce the influence of special interest groups and make elections more competitive.
However, committee members
asked the group's executive director, Michael Woolf, numerous technical questions, and some opposed the proposal on philosophical grounds.
"I this is quite a chess game you all have got here," Jones said.
The bill would allow individuals to contribute $3 to a new state elections fund when they file their income tax returns. The money would be used to finance up to 65 percent of the campaigns of candidates for the Legislature, governor, attorney general, state treasurer, insurance commissioner and secretary of state. Candidates could receive public funds only if they raised a certain amount from individuals who donated $100 or less.
