| Abstract: | The article reports on a hearing held by a congressional committee in March 2006 to investigate the reclassification by federal intelligence agencies of previously declassified historical documents from the U.S. National Archives. According to the National Archives, about 9,500 records totaling more than 55,000 pages have been withdrawn from the public shelves and reclassified since 1999. Many of these documents had already been viewed, copied, or republished. The withdrawals came to light when historians and other researchers discovered that documents were disappearing and complained to the National Archives. |
