December 31, 2021- the magic date for this forum.

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?

Unless a new bill is passed extending the declassification policy.

What pre-1982 "fill in the blanks are out there"? And I have a small feeling this will be extended, damnit.

If I am reading this right a lot of documents between 1982 and 1988 could have automatically been declassified if they have not been through a declassification review:

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.

Any ideas on where one might go hunting for these?
