"The public is entitled to know as much as possible about the Government's activities."

"Authority for original classification of information as Top Secret may be exercised only by the President."

"Information classified pursuant to this and prior Orders shall be declassified as early as national security considerations permit."

"It's a sobering prospect to know that perhaps once in a lifetime we have an opportunity to focus attention on such a neglected group in the world's population."
