Documents
In the course of preparing Toward “Thorough, Accurate, and Reliable,” Joshua Botts, author of the chapters covering recent decades, relied on many documents that had not yet been released to the public. All those documents have now been reviewed for declassification and approved for release; in some cases, documents were released with excisions. Over the coming year, the Office of the Historian will periodically post some of these records on this website. Check back occasionally for the latest additions.
