The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a federal appeals court has ruled the CIA's top-secret daily briefings for the president on intelligence information must remain secret, even 40 years later, if the agency reasonably concludes that disclosure would compromise national security. According to the report, "The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said a UC Davis political science professor and historian was not entitled to any portion of the CIA's briefings to President Lyndon Johnson for two days during the Vietnam War, Aug. 6, 1965, and April 2, 1968."
