Summary
The COINTELPRO Full Disclosure Act would force every federal agency that holds COINTELPRO records to make those files public, either in full or in a redacted form, within six months of the law’s passage. It establishes a National Archives collection for the records and a COINTELPRO Records Review Board to handle exemptions, partial disclosures, and appeals. The measure aims to increase transparency about past FBI counter‑intelligence programs while protecting information that could harm national security or victims.
