How can a researcher gain access to Presidential papers and records closed because of national security classification?
• Denials under the Presidential Records Act (PRA) or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) of access to national security information are made by designated officials of the originating or responsible agency, or by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under a written delegation of authority. • A researcher may appeal determinations that records remain classified for reasons of national security to the agency with responsibility for protecting and declassifying that information and may further appeal a denial under a mandatory review to the Information Security Appeals Panel.
