TITLE VII—DECLASSIFICATION
OF INFORMATION
SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Public Interest Declas-
sification Act of 2000’’.
SEC. 702. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is in the national interest to establish an
effective, coordinated, and cost-effective means by
which records on specific subjects of extraordinary
public interest that do not undermine the national
security interests of the United States may be col-
lected, retained, reviewed, and disseminated to Con-
gress, policymakers in the executive branch, and the
public.
(2) Ensuring, through such measures, public
access to information that does not require contin-
ued protection to maintain the national security in-
terests of the United States is a key to striking the
balance between secrecy essential to national secu-
rity and the openness that is central to the proper
functioning of the political institutions of the United
States.
SEC. 703. PUBLIC INTEREST DECLASSIFICATION BOARD.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—There is established within
the executive branch of the United States a board to be
known as the ‘‘Public Interest Declassification Board’’ (in
this title referred to as the ‘‘Board’’).
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of the Board are as
follows:
(1) To advise the President, the Assistant to
the President for National Security Affairs, the Di-
rector of the Office of Management and Budget, and
such other executive branch officials as the Board
considers appropriate on the systematic, thorough,
coordinated, and comprehensive identification, collec-
tion, review for declassification, and release to Con-
gress, interested agencies, and the public of declas-
sified records and materials (including donated his-
torical materials) that are of archival value, includ-
ing records and materials of extraordinary public in-
terest.
(2) To promote the fullest possible public access
to a thorough, accurate, and reliable documentary
record of significant United States national security
decisions and significant United States national se-
curity activities in order to—
(A) support the oversight and legislative
functions of Congress;
