272 NOTES
the five-volume Senator Gravel edition and the twelve-volume
U.S. Government Printing Office edition, which was
heavily expurgated.
The last four volumes of the Pentagon Papers, the socalled
diplomatic volumes, describing U.S. negotiations to
end the war, were released partially in 1983 and then fully
in 2002 as a result of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
requests. While the secret diplomatic volumes of the Pentagon
Papers are now available to the public, the original
forty-three volumes leaked by Ellsberg—which exist only in
partial or expurgated versions—have never been released by
the U.S. government.
