OUO and related "classifications"

Why Is This Idea Important?: OUO and similar garbage classifications are used to hide information from the public and to avoid transparency and openness.

ALL federal documents, whether written by the government or by contractors working for the government should be born unclassified (with rare and specific exceptions - e.g. nuclear weapons design).

By executive order - eliminate ALL administrative classifications not called out by law. If a document is classified or restricted or contains such information it should be appropriately classified and controlled. Official Use Only (OUO) is an administrative classification used by the government to avoid releasing documents despite lacking any real classification. Eliminate OUO entirely.
