[10]Status of Document: Postponed in Part
[12]Number of releases of previously postponed information: 13
[14]Reason for Board Action: The Review Board's decision was premised on several factors
[15]including: (a) the significant historical interest in the document in question; (b) the
[16]absence of evidence that the release of the information would cause harm to the United
[17]States or to any individual.
[19]Number of Postponements: 5
[21]Postponements: All the postponements in this document represent Social Security numbers.
[23]Reason for Board Action: The text is redacted because the public disclosure of the redaction could
[24]reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that invasion of
[25]privacy would be so substantial that it outweighs the public interest.
