The U.S. Mania for Classification.

The article reports that the U.S. Department of Defense is carefully watching the flow of its secret information. As stated, the government is practising a kind of prior restraint and is stopping the flow of information to the press and public. In a hearing started in the last week of June 1971 by the House Foreign Operations and Government Information Subcommittee, Arthur Goldberg, former U.S. representative to the United Nations, testified that of the countless thousands of documents he had read and written, 75% should never have been classified. It is stated that the U.S. has secret military information due to its rising world power and its commitments post World War II and the Cold War.
