Panel III: The Crisis of Overclassification: Can Proposed Reforms Help?

Panel Description: Presidents have long been able to set the rules for defining and protecting national security information through executive orders. But the complexity and scope of the contemporary national security apparatus has long defied attempts to reduce overclassification, and the number and size of leaks continue to grow. What new measures now under consideration could make a meaningful difference, and what more should citizens expect from their government?
