Muskie proposes independent board to declassify U.S. documents
Senator Muskie bids to form a seven person independent board with power to lift secrecy labels on government papers reviewing Vietnam era files. The plan includes a two year waiting period before declassification and a role for Congress, with members from press government and private life. He argues this would curb secrecy while protecting national security. The remarks came in Garden City as McGovern pressed the same issue, urging accountability in Vietnam disclosures.
