CIA to Declassify Documents

According to a New York Times article published on June 22, 2007, CIA Director General Michael V. Hayden announced the declassification of CIA documents.

You can read the speech he made before the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations Conference on June 21, 2007. According to Gen. Hayden:

...we have completed our declassification review and are preparing to release most of the so-called “Family Jewels,” a very famous set of documents written over three decades ago, when Director Schlesinger asked employees to report activities they thought might be inconsistent with the Agency’s charter. Much of it has been in the press before, and most of it is unflattering, but it is CIA’s history.
