Not that you're incorrect but in addition to withholding documentation, sometimes they just destroy it, too. https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/nsa/DOCUMENT/940228.htm https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/nsa/DOCUMENT/940228.htm " In August 1974, the Joint Chiefs of Staff destroyed all the minutes and transcripts of their meetings going back to 1947, and in 1978 essentially stopped keeping any such records.
