    Automatic declassification is the declassification of information based upon the occurrence of a specific date or event as determined by the original classification authority; or the expiration of a maximum time frame for the duration of classification established under the Order (25 years).

    It’s possible that the source of the document is the government itself, and the tow company maintained their end of the agreement.
