In a report written by Matthew Aid (Declassification in Reverse,
The Pentagon and the U.S. Intelligence Community's Secret Historical Document Reclassification Program), and  published on February 21, 2006 by the National Security Archive at George Washington University, it was revealed that federal agencies have secretly reclassified over 55,000 pages of documents previously  available to the public at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The National Security Archive (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchi v/index.html) describes itself as "a research institute on international affairs, a library and archive of declassified U.S. documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, a public interest law firm defending and expanding public access to government information through the FOIA, and an indexer and publisher of the documents".
