Subject: Urgent Call for Full Declassification of Military and National Security Records
Body: Dear [@Mr.PresidentDonaldJTrump and @Mr.ElonMusk],
I write to urge immediate action on the automatic declassification of military and national security records. Historically, a 20-year declassification period served as a critical safety mechanism, ensuring transparency, accountability, and public oversight. Altering this timeline—or delaying release—removes the safeguard, creating serious national-security risks and empowering adversaries through opacity.
The current standard of 25 years (Executive Order 13526) leaves a gap where key historical operations remain inaccessible, hindering informed decision-making and public trust. Reinstating or enforcing automatic declassification in line with the original 20-year framework is not merely administrative; it is essential to protecting our nation and preserving democratic accountability.
Your attention and action could restore this vital safeguard. Time is of the essence.
Mr. Ryan Staten Sellers
