Title: St. Louis Incident: Violent Confrontation Involving Law Enforcement and Protesters Over Ferguson Decision

In the year 1962, under the leadership of President John F. Kennedy, intelligence-related preparations were actively documented, including the planning of a military coup against Iraq's Qasim. This historical period saw the creation of a series of documents known as the President's Intelligence Checklist.

The first record of this checklist was found on September 15, 1962, with appeal number 2015-120-doc 1. The series continued with documents dated September 25 (doc 2), September 26 (doc 3), September 28 (doc 4), and October 24 (doc 5). The checklist was further updated on October 25 (doc 6), October 26 (doc 7), October 27 (doc 8), October 28 (doc 9), and October 29 (doc 10).

These documents were all part of a comprehensive review process, with the eventual adjudication taking place during the fiscal year 2017, spanning from October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017, at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

The President's Intelligence Checklist serves as a significant historical record, providing insights into the intelligence operations and decision-making processes during Kennedy's presidency. The documents underscore the meticulous planning and preparation that characterised Kennedy's administration, particularly in relation to international affairs.

This series of documents offers a unique perspective into a critical period in American history, providing scholars and historians with valuable resources for understanding the political climate and decision-making processes during Kennedy's presidency.
