Officials said there is no estimate when the public might see the material. The uncertainty over timely access to the information troubles some advocates of public access to government documents. The documents--a surprise gift from President Boris N. Yeltsin to President Clinton--will first be reviewed for material sensitive to national security concerns, while also taking into account privacy considerations.
