Let's solve the expression step by step.

Given:
\[
J = 9 - 15
\]
\[
K = -235 - 8 - 51 - 4 - 8 - 1
\]
\[
L = 2 - 60 - 304 - 2 - 3 - 71
\]

First, calculate \( J \):
\[
J = 9 - 15 = -6
\]

Next, calculate \( K \):
\[
K = -235 - 8 - 51 - 4 - 8 - 1 = -307
\]

Now, calculate \( L \):
\[
L = 2 - 60 - 304 - 2 - 3 - 71 = -438
\]

Next, find \( K - L \):
\[
K - L = -307 - (-438) = -307 + 438 = 131
\]

Finally, calculate \( J(K - L) \):
\[
J(K - L) = -6 \times 131 = -786
\]

So, the value of \( J(K - L) \) is \(-786\).
