Congressional panel to look at archives reclassification

“We are spending literally millions and millions of dollars to keep secrets from ourselves,” said Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., chairman of the Government Reform subcommittee on national security, emerging threats and international relations. “We’ve got a huge problem.”
