What is the most interesting thing you've found in the JFK files? [Serious]

1. Title: [REACTION OF SOVIET AND COMMUNIST PARTY OFFICIALS TO JFK ASSASSINATION](https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32204484.pdf) From: HOOVER, J. EDGAR To: WATSON, MARVIN

2. The most interesting thing I've found is that most of these files are simply cover pages with the rest of the file missing. A document with over 700 pages but only 3 pages released.

3. Fan letters from Oswald to Marilyn Monroe. Wonder if he blamed JFK for her death?

5. A reporter on the UK’s Cambridge Evening News received an anonymous call telling him to ring the US embassy for some big news, 25 minutes before the murder of John F Kennedy

6. Not directly related to Kennedy assassination but was released in the files. Testimony from Dwight D. Eisenhower's son John Eisenhower that he believed his father did not approve of assassination plots (mostly aimed at Castro) and did not plan to commit any based on the fact that his father would have told him, because his father told him about the atomic bomb. Interesting stuff. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32423432.pdf Also here's a detailed chronological order of the CIA giving weapons including revolvers, carbines, and possibly explosives to the group who killed Rafael Trujillo (leader of the Dominican Republic at the time) in hopes a more pro US group would take over. Though some of this was already known. Starts on page 68 https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32112745.pdf EDIT: Here's one I found on the [Cubana flight 455 bombing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubana_de_Aviaci%C3%B3n_Flight_455). Apparently Orlando Bosch, leader of the Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations which was supported by the US, was involved but meant for the plane to explode on the ground not in the air. One of the other people involved Hernan Ricardo also attempted to bomb two other Cubana planes, a Cuban consulate, and a planned bombing of Hong Kong. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32297750.pdf https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32297741.pdf

7. I found [this](https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32355931.pdf) somewhat negative employee performance review for a CIA (asset/agent) in Mexico. It touches on his trouble with money-management, his fights with his wife who is 25 years younger than him, and his fondness for his mother-in-law, who, the reviewing supervisor notes, “does not in the case seem to be the problem that one would imagine.”

8. How difficult the handwritten notes are. They're horrible and writing and then that's photocopied. I can't wait for those to be typed up
