Two excerpts of note from the National Security Agency Report of 1981 are shown here with highlighting added for emphasis. First, the opening paragraph of the Forward (page vii; page 7 of PDF) shows the position of the NSA on the Liberty incident.

In previous declassifications of the NSA report, a part of a paragraph on page 64 (page 72 of PDF) of the report had been redacted. In the 2 July 2003 declassification of the report, the full text of this paragraph is revealed. The paragraph is shown as it appeared in the respective versions of the report.

Readers wishing to authenticate these excerpts should download the report directly from the NSA website.
