According to this article in today’s New York Times, the Bush Administration is well on its way to removing declassified government documents on national security from the public domain, as well as implementing a new policy to prevent such documents acquired in the future from reaching public view. A final order is expected in April which will rescind portions of President Clinton’s Executive Order 12958 (pdf) of April 17, 1995, and “treat all information obtained from foreign governments as subject to classification and end the requirement that agencies prepare plans for declassifying records.”
