House Intelligence Committee Releases Transcript From Closed National Archives Hearing

Press Release

"Testimony from the National Archives and Records Administration officials makes clear that the handling and mishandling of classified documents are a problem that stretches beyond the Oval Office. In fact, dozens of former Members of Congress and senior government officials have taken classified documents with them after leaving office and donated them to libraries and universities across the country. This is a systemic problem that dates to the Reagan Administration. We need a better way for elected officials who are leaving office -- in both the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch -- to properly return classified material and protect the integrity of our national security."
