    Revoked Executive Order 12356 on October 14, 1995 and is the basis 
for claiming that information is currently and properly classified under 
(b)(1) exemption of the FOIA. It sets forth new requirements for 
classifying and declassifying documents. It recognizes both the right of 
the public to be informed about the activities of its government and the 
need to protect national security information from unauthorized or 
untimely disclosure.
