The Pentagon Papers, officially titled "Report of the Office of the
Secretary of Defense Vietnam Task Force," was commissioned by
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara in 1967. In June of 1971,
small portions of the report were leaked to the press and widely
distributed. However, the publications of the report that resulted
from these leaks were incomplete and suffered from many quality
issues.
On the 40th anniversary of the leak to the press, the National
Archives, along with the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon Presidential
Libraries, has released the complete report. The 48 boxes in this
series contain a complete copy of the 7,000 page report along with
numerous copies of different volumes of the report, all
declassified. Approximately 34% of the report is available for the
first time.
What is unique about this, compared to other versions, is
that:
* The complete Report is now available with no redactions
compared to previous releases
* The Report is presented as Leslie Gelb presented it to then
Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford on January 15, 1969
* All the supplemental back-documentation is included. In the
Gravel Edition, 80% of the documents in Part V.B. were not
included
This release includes the complete account of peace
negotiations, significant portions of which were not previously
available either in the House Armed Services Committee redacted
copy of the Report or in the Gravel Edition.
