According to Special Access Program (SAP) Security Manual: Marking, DoD Manual 5205.07, vol. 4, October 10, 2013:
"SAP documents, dated prior to January 1, 1982, shall be declassified on December 31, 2021"
Documents will be reviewed for declassification by the later standard of: December 31 of the fifth year following the removal of SAP protections; or December 31 of the year in which the records are 25 years old. If this declassification review is not performed, then the pertinent records shall be declassified automatically.
Will all the pre-1982 "fill in the blanks" around here finally get answered or will another bureaucratic brick wall suddenly appear?
