Obama Creates National Declassification Center
Obama used an executive order to create the National Declassification Center. He wrote: "While the Government must be able to prevent the public disclosure of information that would compromise the national security, a democratic government accountable to the people must be as transparent as possible and must not withhold information for self-serving reasons or simply to avoid embarrassment." |
