Senator Edmund Muskie proposes a seven member independent board with power to declassify government documents including Vietnam era Pentagon papers. He argues such a panel would reduce secrecy and restore public trust while limiting partisan advantage. The plan assigns one member from the press, one from government, and five from Congress.
