declassification
Add to My List
Definition(s):
- (n) reduction or removal by the government of restrictions on a classified document or weapon
Usage(s):
- I hope to be able to make as much of that report available as possible after it undergoes a declassification review and other steps.
- Inevitably, declassification is pursued with considerably less enthusiasm than classification.
- What makes a definitive analysis difficult is the fact that the inspector general's report and both memos are, despite their declassification, still substantially redacted.
