     SEC. 308. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON CLASSIFICATION AND 
                   DECLASSIFICATION

       It is the sense of Congress that in a democracy the 
     systematic declassification of records of permanent historic 
     value is in the public interest and that the management of 
     classification and declassification by Executive Branch 
     agencies requires comprehensive reform.
