Improving Declassification – A Report to the President from the Public Interest Declassification Board Report, December 2007 (48 pages, PDF): “There are at least eight ways by which security classified national security information may become declassified, including through Freedom of Information Act requests and through automatic declassification under Executive Order 12958. The Board presents several recommendations that would increase the efficiency of the system as a whole.”
