Petition Urges Luna Committee to Issue Second, More Precise Request to NBC for Archival Films

WASHINGTON - Rezul -- New Petition Urges Luna Committee to Issue Second, More Precise Request to NBC for Archival Films
A new petition calls on the Luna Committee to issue a second, more targeted request to NBCUniversal for the original in-camera films shot by James Darnell and Dave Weigman, which were referenced in the Committee's April 2025 letter. Advocates argue that the initial request left critical loopholes which could inadvertently allow NBCUniversal to provide copies that are of no value for study purposes.
The petition, hosted on OpenPetition.org, urges the Committee to clarify that only the in-camera originals—not broadcast copies, dubs, or edited reels—can satisfy the evidentiary and preservation goals of the inquiry. It also calls on the Committee to use any subpoena authority it may possess to compel NBC's cooperation if necessary.

"These films are not just historical artifacts—they're primary evidence," said Ed LeDoux, one of the petition's authors. "The Committee's first letter was a good start, but it left NBC room to interpret 'original' loosely. We're asking for a second letter that closes those gaps and asserts the public's right to access these materials."
The petition outlines three key requests:

• That the Luna Committee issue a second letter specifying the need for the original camera elements (the in-camera strips) of the Darnell and Weigman films
• That the Committee clarify the archival meaning of "original" to avoid ambiguity
• That the Committee use its subpoena power, if applicable, to compel NBC's compliance

Supporters argue that the films may contain unexamined frames or context vital to understanding events surrounding the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath. They also emphasize the importance of preserving these materials in their unaltered form for future generations.
The petition is available at https://www.openpetition.org/ where signatories continue to add their voices in support of historical transparency and archival integrity.
