Today, the PIDB requested President @realDonaldTrump, an unprecedented supporter of greater public access to classified historical records, to declassify two key records related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Appreciate the opportunity to speak with the @PublicDeclass Board today.
The government belongs to the people.
If information no longer needs to be classified, it should be declassified.
The Board supports Chairman @ChuckGrassley’s call for the immediate release of all Nazi war crime records and applauds the @SenJudiciaryGOP for championing this issue.
To read more about the declassification of WWII records read our most recent blog.

250 years ago today, the Founders announced a new nation not in secret but by submitting their case “to a candid world.” The republic began with an act of public accountability. As we mark #America250, it’s worth remembering: they never intended a government this secret.
James Madison — the Convention’s own note-taker — later put it plainly: “A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both.”
In 1787 the Philadelphia Convention met in private, under a strict rule of secrecy. Delegates needed room to argue and change their minds. Candor in the drafting room was the point.
Today, the PIDB requested President @realDonaldTrump, an unprecedented supporter of greater public access to classified historical records, to declassify two key records related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
