Press release: ‘Report Card’ Finds 60% Rise in Secrecy at a Rising Cost of $6.5 Billion Last Year, August 26, 2004. “Government data confirm what many have suspected: secrecy has increased dramatically in recent years under policies of the current administration. For every $1 the federal government spent last year releasing old secrets, it spent an extraordinary $120 maintaining the secrets already on the books, according to an analysis by OpenTheGovernment.org.”

  • “Secrecy Report Card: Quantitative Indicators of Secrecy in the Federal Government, is an initial effort to establish measurable benchmarks for evaluating the level of secrecy in government. The study was released Aug. 26 by OpenTheGovernment.org, a coalition of more than 30 organizations calling for more democracy and less secrecy in government.”
