The documents are still declassified on the orders of the president and does not recquire any type of administrative processing that could slow down the effectiveness of a president to do so. for example the president could be having a discussion with a foriegn leader and decide he needs to declassify a document to have an effective conversation or negotiation. He can then simple declare to his staff that he is declassifing that document and do so. He does not at that point have to wait for anyone to record the declassification. If his staff fails to properly record the declassification that does not in any way negate his declassification order. the president is the supreme authority on declassification.</blockquote>
