COINTELPRO Full Disclosure Act
This bill requires federal agencies to fully disclose all COINTELPRO records to the public within 6 months of enactment, with a 25-year deadline for records that can't be disclosed immediately. It establishes a COINTELPRO Records Review Board to review records that might need to be withheld for national security or privacy reasons, and mandates that government offices notify victims or their families before disclosure. The bill creates a public collection of these records at the National Archives, with specific guidelines for partial disclosure or summaries when full disclosure would cause harm. The Review Board has 4 years to complete its work, with a possible 1-year extension, and must report annually on its progress.
