Eisenhower orders freer flow of government information
President Eisenhower issued an order to enable a freer flow of government information while protecting national security. It replaces Truman’s 1951 policy, removes the restricted category, creates a complaints system, transfers classification authority to agency heads, and limits delegation. The plan, drafted with input from APME ASNE and other media groups, seeks clearer rules on what can be made public and how data is transmitted stored and destroyed.
