The FBI combined four folders of Temple documents – BB-18 through BB-21 – into Section 117. The resulting document is 232 pages labelled in the Guyana Index under the names of several members of the Jones family, including Marceline, Stephan, Suzanne, and Tim Tupper Jones.
The listing below is complete for this section of the FBI’s FOIA release. The complete PDF for this section as released by the FBI is here.
The citation for these documents should open with the FBI’s official designation of these records, which is “RYMUR 89-4286.” Each individual page in these records has a unique number. Page 65 of this document, for example, is marked “BB-18-Z-1”. The complete citation for that page, then, would be “RYMUR 89-4286-BB-18-Z-1”.
