Defense consultant, W G Florence, who has served 22 yrs in Army and Air Force as specialist in classification of secrets, testifies on March 19 at Pentagon papers trial that label 'top secret' on documents would be given little weight by foreign country because US Govt has 'ruined the integrity of the classification system'; says an analyst would know that classification was put on 'many times by an individual with no authority and by individuals for personal reasons'; says analyst would know that information might have been very outdated, that it could have been declassified long before and that 'much more information is classified than is ever declassified'
