Full Release
On 4 May 2011 the National Archives and Records Administration announced that the Papers would be declassified and released to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California on 13 June 2011. The release date included the Nixon, Kennedy, and LBJ Libraries, and the Archives office in College Park, Maryland.
The full release was coordinated by the Archives's National Declassification Center as a special project to mark the anniversary of the report.
The NDC worked with the agencies having classification control over the material to prevent the redaction of the last 11 words of the Papers that would not have been made available. It is unknown which 11 words were at issue.
The Archives released each volume of the Papers as a separate PDF file, available on their website.

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or release:
“A full stomach has no appetite.”
—Chinese proverb.
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
