previously safe-guarded documents related to the water contamination  
at Camp Lejeune.

However, the collection of released records is still incomplete,  
according to a press release from U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., a  
member of the bipartisan group of congressmen who urged the DoD to  
give the public uncensored access to the Camp Lejeune Historic  
Drinking Water Consolidated Document Repository and other relevant  
records.

"This is a step in the right direction towards providing the public  
with transparency on the tragic events that occurred for several

Congress and the American people have access to the entire collection."
