     Some have been, but others they steadfastly refused to 
declassify.  Um, let me timestamp that.  This was as of a few 
years ago (1993 - '94) when an acquaintance of mine was doing 
some research related to the political climate then.  The feeling 
he got was that it would be ... um, "imprudent" of the government 
to declassify them - at least at that time.  However, with the 
current trend of apologizing to everyone for just about 
everything, that may have changed.

     Does anyone have the exact wording of the NSA's response to 
this?
