The following are the instructions given to each agency, for submitting the SF-311 forms:

This reporting requirement applies to each department, independent agency or establishment in the executive branch that creates, handles, and/or stores classified national security information. The reporting period is on a fiscal year basis. Submissions must be unclassified and typewritten, and reach the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) no later than November 15 following the reporting period. Consolidate the submissions of component activities into a single report. Agencies, however, shall retain the input from component activities for possible ISOO review.

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), I was able to request from various agencies the SF-311 forms filed. This is an ongoing effort, and this page will be constantly updated with the newest SF-311 forms released and collected by The Black Vault.

The post Agency Security Classification Management Program Data Forms (SF-311) first appeared on The Black Vault.

According to Wikipedia:

The abductions of Japanese citizens from Japan by agents of the North Korean government happened during a period of six years from 1977 to 1983.  Although only 17 Japanese (eight men and nine women) are officially recognized by the Japanese government as having been abducted, there may have been hundreds of victims.

The North Korean government has officially admitted to abducting 13 Japanese citizens. There are testimonies that many non-Japanese citizens, including nine European citizens, have been abducted by North Korea. Some districts in Japan fund North Korean-run schools, which teach children that the abduction issue was fabricated by Japan.

Declassified Documents

National Security Agency (NSA)

In June of 2016, I requested under the FOIA for documents from the National Security Agency (NSA) regarding these allegations/incidents. After being told my request was too broad, I narrowed the scope of my request to have them search for records from 1977-1983, in hopes that would get me an adequate response.

Despite my best efforts, the NSA is classifying 100% of the material.

On 26 July 2016, I received the below response (of which I have appealed — and I will add the response once it is received):
